WHAT, exactly, does the "PUBLIC TROUGH" look like? Shouldn't I know if I'm feeding from it? When you work for a public agency of any sort, you occasionally get the "I pay your wages" line from the people you serve. Guess what...I pay my wages, too! Even friends refer to the "public trough" whether they're talking about politicians or little ol` me.
While I'm sure there are people who take advantage of their position in government jobs, most of us work hard. I don't play solitaire and I leave the porn sites alone (at least during working hours). My bosses and I earn our keep here on campus, thank you very much. I don't know where the lazy government employees are but they're not in MY office and we DON'T have a damn trough. Hurrumph!
