"...BROUN: We have created this huge debt.... We’ve got to stop the outrageous spending that’s going on. We hear the CBO says well if we don’t raise the debt limit, it’s going to put so many people out of work, I don’t remember then number, I think it’s 250,000 or something, are gonna be put out of work. Well those are gonna be government employees that are put out of work. There are a lot of government employees that need to go find a real job!

2. So Providing Service to US Citizens Isn't a Real Job?
I was at the DMV today to renew my license. The workers there were fast and efficient. I spent less than an hour there. The workers were courteous, friendly and doing a good job. Sure the photo sucks but that's the way it goes.

They were all doing a "real job" and damned if they weren't doing well. So I find it offensive that a congress person - who is a public employee - has the gall to offend other public employees. Perhaps she should leave congress and go find a "real" job flipping burgers.

3. When is the last time you saw a Congressman or Senator standing in line at the unemployment office?
...and you never will. Case closed!

6. What's a real job?
What IS a real job? When these losers say this, what do they mean? I don't think, except for doctors, and nurses, there are "real jobs".

7. Labor is labor regardless whether its mental or physical. All politicians have it way too easy
especially with all the perks that comes with their government jobs.

8. Right- and teachers are too damned lazy, too, huh? Lumping politicians into
one big group and saying they "have it way too easy" is akin if not identical to the Rights bashing of teachers. Different job but just as important.

The "politicians" in my district are okay- sometimes they suck- but that's what elections are for.
