"Let the public service be a proud and lively career. And let every man and woman who works in an area of our national government, in any branch, at any level, be able to say with pride and with honor in future years: 'I served the US Government in that hour of our nation's need'"

NONSENSE When I got out of college, I thought of Accounting then Advertising and then Teaching. I wanted to be college professor. I wanted a calling not just more money. A job like a librarian, a researcher, a public calling was part of our legacy...a public and private sector. What happened?
...I feel sorry for the gov't workers committed to doing their job...but not so much for the gov't workers who treated the contract workers like serfs...
Privateers are often the most wealthy because raiding commerce in countries like America is called “business”. Naturally, these people want the entire system to be based on profiteering. Social welfare just protects money from them.
