This question is particularly targeted toward those of you who vote Republican.
Highlights that effect us as federal workers
-Ryan's plan would only allow the government to hire one new employee for every three who leave, which he said would cut 10 percent from the federal workforce by 2014.
-It freezes federal pay through 2015, three years longer than the current pay freeze would last, and cancels periodic step increases.
-It requires federal employees to pay half of the costs of their pensions, instead of 1/14th of the cost, as employees under the Federal Employees Retirement System currently pay.
I know it sounds bad, but it is time that us fat cat feds stopped living it up and shared the pain that the real "taxpayers" have had to deal with.
We have pretty high turnover at the BOP, so I imagine that in less than 5 years, half of our staff inside the prisons will be eliminated.
