Extreme GOP Turning Flawed "Work At Will" To "Abuse At Will" & "Right To Work For Less"
on a national scale. What they are doing guarantees two things more erosion of wages and benefits and lower tax collections that starve government even further. Wage erosion is still at an all time high while wages are already at an all time low.
Sequestration will aggravate the trends even more. And sequestration is an attack on public service with the intent of lowering wages. Firefighters, police and other first responders make too much money as far as the GOP is concerned. Their idea of a decent wage is $25 k per year with no pension. They expect you to save money in your 401k in lieu of any future pension. And the GOP wants the same scheme for career military. That means that a career veteran will have to find some kind of work until they can get health care at 65 and their 401K at 60. The GOP essentially wants to "profitize" the VA system. Bush was already trying to do that.
