The New Jobs Bill Is A Farce-Only Govt. Employees Benefit.

THE DOCTOR IS IN

LAS VEGAS-Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

The Congress just passed a 26 billion dollar jobs bill. This administration and Congress say they want to provide jobs to the country and protect peoples jobs. The bad part of this idea is that this President and Congress only protect the jobs of the government Public Employees across the country. They expound on the fact that they are saving jobs of the policeman, fireman and teachers across the country. These public employee groups are being paid bloated salaries and pension benefits that average Joe or Jane Doe working in the private sector will never see in their lifetime.

This jobs bill which is spending billions of dollars to protect the police, fire and teachers unions are only because the greedy politicians want the unions votes in the elections.

I say that a true jobs bill where billions of dollars are to be spent should be to provide jobs in the "PRIVATE SECTOR." The money should be spent on construction and infrastructure projects that will put working boots on the ground of the men and women working in jobs such as construction, those electricians and plumbers, the highway road workers, etc.

All of the people in the private sector that are being laid off and taking salary cuts and losing their health care should be the ones being helped by any billion dollars job bill. Instead of pumping monies into the pockets of the government and public employees already enjoying lucrative salaries and pension retirement benefits and guaranteeing these employees their excessive cost of living and step increases I would suggest that these police officers, firemen and teachers lose their jobs and benefits like the millions in the private sector. Why should these groups be exempt from the pain? Why shouldn't these select groups have to experience the same type of layoffs as anyone working in the private sector?

When President Obama, the Congress and this administration say they created (X) amount of jobs in a month or 3 months, 6 months or a year they fail to tell the public that the majority of those jobs they actually created was in the Government. They hire government and public employees and pass that off as creating jobs throughout the country.

People, the average working man or woman doesn't see those jobs. The government protects its own turf and makes sure that the "public employee" is protected and continues to receive $200,000 plus salary a year as well as their guaranteed pensions, cost of living and step raises. An example,Cite: Las Vegas Nevada, the average fireman makes more than the $200,000 a year. The Las Vegas Metro policeman is one of the highest paid in the United States. These high salaries and pensions are obscene but we, the lowly people that do not work for the government agencies have to pay these public employees large salaries and support them and their families for the rest of their lives while they collect large, large pensions and in many cases, free health care.

We private sector workers do not have anyone to pay us 3,4,5 and 6% cost of living increases every year nor do we have an automatic step increase in our salary and we can forget about having someone pick up our health premiums for life. However, President Obama, Congress, the powerful unions representing the Policeman, Fireman and Teachers enjoy all of that.

So, jobs bill? It's a farce. The idea of continuing to pay these special groups like policemen, fireman and teachers is outrageous. I predict these public employee workers and their salaries and benefits will bankrupt many cities, counties and states in the near future. I say, fire and/or layoff some of the public employees to save billions of dollars and at the same time rework the out of control pension plans for these people. And,-that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
