I have a hard time believing Steve would have a problem paying people to do nothing after 20 or 30 years of public service. In one sense, it would simply be rewarding public servants by ensuring better conditions for term limits.

Having a complete evolution in the public sector every 20 to 30 years can be considered a good thing, from a democracy point of view.

How does that compare and contrast with having your wealthy "al qaeda" good olde boy network colluding to get less competitive bids at Uncle Sam's (and his "socialized" tax paying relative's ) expense?

How many high tech, high paying jobs have the Republicans manufactured? They currently seem to only encourage low tech, low paying jobs whenever they are in office.
