Fed layoffs: minorities hardest hit

  So we have this burgeoning federal/state government work force, most of whom have seen nothing in the way of reduction to their salaries and benefits.
  We have a huge debt that the everyday guy is forced to acknowledge has everything to do with maintaining the benefits and salaries of that burgeoning work force.
  The country is teetering on the edge of doom, needs to be fiscally responsible and Dems have started the poor mouthing already to prevent cuts, which are really just reductions in increases. The federal government never really cuts anything. It might, if we're lucky, reduce the annual increase from 7% to 6%, but only with kicking and screaming.
  It always amuses me that people who have good insurance (for which some pay little to nothing), guaranteed income, union protection, excessive days off and a paycheck that exceeds the average American's are out in the street protesting, poor mouthing, abusing the lower paid taxpayer and generally complaining that they couldn't possibly afford to pay the same price the non-government employee taxpayer does for insurance.

  Now Julianne Malveaux, columnist for USA Today, commentator and women's college president, is out with a proclamation that you meanie conservatives better not cut government employees' wages because.....it will hurt minorities most!

Black workers will bear the brunt of these sacrifices.

One in five black workers are public employees, compared with one in six non-black workers. Why? Blacks earn more and advance more quickly in the public sector. For these reasons, blacks are 30% more likely than whites to work in government, as teachers, nurses, social workers, administrators, bus drivers and deliverers of municipal services. Public service jobs are an important source of work, especially for black women, 23% of whom are public employees.

  In the interest of fairness and racial equity,let's look at her comments. Her initial complaint is that the post office is going to have to cut jobs so, naturally, we go to the racism complaint.
  Coupla questions, Julianne.
  How efficient is the post office?
  Why are they underwater financially?
  Why do so many nuts work at the post office?
  Are you always treated well when you visit the post office? Because I'm not. In fact, I've generally been treated very rudely. And slowly. At many post offices, everything is very.....slow.
  I've seen you on that teevee thingie, Julianne, and you appear to me to be an illogical racist. 
  And a h8ter, to boot.
  Aren't you the one who wished publicly Clarence Thomas to die? That was before the Giffords shooting, though, so I guess it was okay for liberals to wish death on people. 
  Oh, wait. It's still okay for liberals to wish death on people.
  It's conservatives who aren't supposed to do that.
  We could go down that list of teachers, nurses, social workers, administrators, bus drivers and deliverers of municipal services (like the snow plow operators in New York City, for example) and figure out why those entities are in trouble and need to cut back.
  1. Union protection of ineffective employees
  2. Union pressure to continually increase salary and benefits of its employees.
  3. Unions.
  4. Unions.
  5. Unions.
  Having witnessed your rants on that teevee thingie, Ms. Julianne, I pretty much know you have your issues, shall we say.
  But couldn't you come up with something more original than....
