Rep. Cummings: People ‘Come to Government To Feed Their Souls’

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D–Md.) says, “so many people come to government knowing that they are not going to make the kind of money they would make in the private sector but they come to government to feed their souls.”

Cummings was speaking in Washington D.C. at the Legislative Conference of the National Treasury Employees Union on February 4th when he made the comments.

The Maryland Democrat also told union members that getting federal workers a raise higher than the one proposed in President Obama’s budget is among his priorities.

“So what are my priorities? What’s my reason for being here?” Cummings said. “My ardent priority is to do whatever I can to help federal workers obtain fair compensation and meaningful pay raises.”

The problem is except for the very highest rungs of the government the rest of the government workers make more than the private sector.

A government job, where you can screw up, steal money, lie to people on a regular basis, not go to work,watch porn on your computer, do drugs, and drink, lose records, and still get raises. Yes, every low life wants a government job!

Further proof of the extreme disconnect with reality. News flash Cummings, people in government jobs make waaaaayyy more than the private sector. Almost everyone in the private sector wants a cushy, over compensated, no accountability, government job.
