Federal workers that cost us money; BIG MONEY

Flag and people

You must have heard about the federal officers who don’t do their jobs but still take home a large sum of taxpayer money- up to 1.5 million dollars a year each? Yes, we are talking about more than 50 senators who refuse to live up to their employment contracts and routinely hold hearings to get a new Supreme Court justice. The startling figure of 174 thousand dollars a year will be put in to their bank accounts every year along with the other expenses amounting to around 1.3 million dollars  year each despite their under-performance. Yes, you and I can’t do much to change that.

Federal workers not doing their job:

This past week Merrick Garland was nominated as the new chief judge of the US Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia Circuit, for the Supreme Court. All the Republican senators say that their not holding hearings is because they consider this a matter of principle. We would have not bothered bringing this to the spotlight if they would have also refused to get compensated while being on strike as well. The contract doesn’t have any ambiguities as such. The constitution dictates that the presidents should nominate the Supreme Court people and senators should only provide advice and permission. The senators still believe that there is a little more to it when there clearly isn’t.

The constitution also dictates that the president should stay in office for the complete four years term which finishes on the 20th of January 2017. If Obama’s term has concluded (as some Senators believe) then if you put some logic in place, their terms have ended too. We are not trying hard and it’s not hard to detect the hypocrisy in this situation, now is there? Let’s hope that these issues get resolved as soon as possible.
