Federal Government Work Ethic- An Oxymoron

I’m sure that each of us has thought about or has had discussions during our careers about the lack of “work ethic” exhibited by the generations that follow us.

What struck me is that if our country’s 536 leaders, the President and the members of Congress, can take vacations while their “business” is in turmoil then those in the business world and the youth soon to be embarking on careers are being sent a very clear message of “manana,” which is also the title of the Spanish song meaning ‘tomorrow’ that stereotypes a lazy, procrastinating person.

The federal government further reinforces the "it's alright if one chooses not to work hard" message by refusing to reform entitlements, not get rid of entitlements, but reform them so that we can afford to pay for them.

I can remember whenever the company I was working for was going thru hard times vacations were cancelled. What the fed gov is doing now is sending a harmful message; and sorry fans, Obama is leading the pack of offenders.

Albiwan..
