Three bucks an hour was good pay in my day. I worked for Convair Aircraft Corp as a mechanic for most of fifteen years. We built military jets and passenger jets. Convair airliners were great airliners. From the 240's to the 880's and 990's.
The 990 was a sleek jet, labeled, at the time, the world's fastest jetliner, but, uh. oh ... engineering failed! The 990 was sold to a speck they couldn't deliver. To modify those already sold cost the Company millions. Busted!
Convair, a privately owned Corporation, was failing. Heads rolled! Quickly, pink-slips were handed out. Workers went out the door in droves. Convair started cutting to the bone! From the top on down; every supervisor went down in rank. I remember well, supervisors had red buttons, we workers had yellow buttons.
Soon us old timers were working with our X-supervisors who now had yellow buttons. Yep, cut to the bone.
And then, I got my pink slip and also went out the door.
Things are different in the private sector. With no income, things radically change! Workers leave, and dead-beat Supervisors are put to work. Adjustments from top down! No more fat!
But that's the private sector where work gets accomplished.
Now lets look at the public sector (Government). Let's compare.
I'm amazed at how desperate the Government is for MORE revenue. Just another "hit" America ... another "hit!"
PLEASE, NO ADDITIONAL REVENUE TO FEED OUR BLOATED STARVING GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACY! The public sector is fat! No more drugs for this out of control addict! Let them whine.
"Can" the dead-beats and move on.
With no income, the Government would be FORCED TO FACE THEIR PROBLEM ... not our problem. Forced to cut their redundancy, corruption and incompetence.
Giving the Government more $'s, simply justifies the present system.
Unfortunately, if worse comes to worse, they can print their own money ... and that's more than we can do.
