We are now seeing the war on “useless” federal workers come to bear. This type of comment helps drive the right wing narrative that governmental workers and elected representatives are mooches taking advantage of the hard working taxpayers. Elected members get exactly the same heath care as every other federal worker. Stop carrying water for the forces that want to dismantle our democracy.
