<p>The average federal government employee receives a salary of around $75,000 per year. With present and future fringe benefits equal to about 76 percent of salaries, that makes for total annual compensation of around $133,000. How does this match up to the private sector?</p>

<p>When I first came to the forum and posted my toxic liberal faggot views, a bunch of posters ganged up on me.  Heck was posting more rarely at the time so it was a little much for me.  As for why I typically find myself on the same side of an argument as heck or woody is because they also use logic and evidence to fuel their arguments.  Whereas, when I see stuff from cal and T, I see gut emotional reactions from under a tin foil hat.  I'm trying to argue with you in other threads, but right now you're changing the subject every time I come back to the same point I'm trying to make.  I don't always agree with heck and woody though, for example, I think Woody's got his head up his ass when it comes to gun control because he hasn't put together a cohesive argument for his views.  On this forum, I find that most of the views I'm arguing against are arguments of ignorance.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/273217</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/273217</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[VaporTrail]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:57:08 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Voters Prefer To Cut The Federal Payroll on Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:31:28 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>I'm not sure you understood what I said, and now I don't understand what you are getting at. </p>

<p>I'm saying for a while I was the only voice that wasn't from the right wing, or the extreme right wing, or where you are - the "I'm not really for anything, just don't like liberals" wing. Now Vapor and Woody are in here, using sound, evidence-based arguments, and even something that's plainly obvious, like that Cal is insane and noxious, must mean something about him trying to win "dog treats."   </p>

<p>Of course, you agree that Cal is horribly lost, you just don't say so.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/273204</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/273204</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[heckofajobbrownie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:31:28 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Voters Prefer To Cut The Federal Payroll on Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:32:46 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/heckofajobbrownie" aria-label="Profile: heckofajobbrownie">@<bdi>heckofajobbrownie</bdi></a> <a href="/post/273134">said</a>:</p>

<p>win me over as a dem voter convert. it's what you do in real life, I think.</p>

<p>I think you get paid to figure out emotional arguments that are affective in </p>

<p>influencing the middle of the road voters.</p>

<p>  I was in the military, I've said many times that I know there is a lot of waste.</p>

<p>There is more waste in our welfare and other entitlements systems.</p>

<p>But with you libs, the only waste in in the military, that you all don't respect a whit.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, as to John's point about why an Air Force...</p>

<p>Basically, the Air Force must exist because of SAC. Strategic Air Command. That's my opinion.</p>

<p>The other services can have their own transports and fighters...</p>

<p>but it doesn't seem to me, to be a place in any of the other services for the strategic bombers and missiles.</p>

<p>Although, that function IS tied in to the attack class nuclear warhead submarines in the Navy. Not a bad question, John.</p>

<p>But like with most things, to much centralized is too much bureaucratic inefficiency.</p>

<p>Combining the functionality of all the different services would be an unmanageable burden, so to what degree</p>

<p>is it most efficient to divide up the functionalities of our self defense systems?.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/273123</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/273123</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[calfoxwc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 21 Feb 2012 23:20:25 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Voters Prefer To Cut The Federal Payroll on Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:23:30 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Insulting Cal does have a way of making one feel like an asshole.
