Original Message While nearly 50 million Americans are on food stamps, no real jobs in the private sector having been created in the last 4 years, and America technically bankrupt, the taxpayer-funded parasites in the Federal bureaucracy demand that they not contribute to any effort to reign in out-of-control Federal spending.

The Federal-Postal Coalition -- a group representing more than two dozen federal employee unions -- pleaded with Congress on Monday to spare their members in any deal related to the "fiscal cliff."

Federal workers, the coalition wrote in a letter, have contributed more than their fair share toward reducing the debt and are the only group that has been targeted so heavily.

“Federal and postal employees and their families are hardworking, middle-class Americans who are struggling during these tough times just like other Americans,” the group wrote. “No other group has been asked to financially contribute the way they have, and it is time our nation’s leaders found other ways to reduce the deficit than continually taking from those who have dedicated their lives to public service.”
