Fox Business host Stuart Varney appears to be more than happy to see federal employees out of their jobs for the time being. \u00a0Be they janitors, aides, park rangers, researchers, secretaries … they’re all ticks on the body politic (or at least on Jim’s back) and deserve to starve.‘ I’m sick and tired of a massive, bloated federal bureaucracy living on our backs, and taking money out of us, a lot more money than most of us earn in the private sector, then getting a furlough, and then getting their money back at the end of it. Sorry, I’m not for that. I want to punish these people. […]\u00a0\u00a0I’m getting screwed. Here I am, a private citizen, paying an inordinate amount of money in tax. I’ve got a slow economy because it’s all government, all the time. And these people are living on our backs, regulating us, telling us what to do, taxing us, taking our money, and living large. This is my chance to say “hey, I’m fed up with this and I don’t miss you when you’re on furlough.” Sorry if that’s a harsh tone, but that’s the way I feel.’<\/i><\/p>\n

No, don’t apologize for telling us how you really\u00a0feel, Stuart. It helps us understand what kind of a person you are.<\/p>\n

[Note: For some reason, I was calling him Jim Varney in the first version of this post. Which was the “Ernest Goes to Camp (But It’s Shut Down)” actor. Apologies for confusing one comic figure for another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
