Steve's barking at why the pols and the papers are calling Americans stupid

You read it here first kiddies, most of the papers, most of the commentators and the politicians are calling most of the American people stupid. No they don't come right out look the American people in the eye and say you people are stupid. They call majority of the American people stupid by simply saying that government workers make more then they do, have benefits that they don't have. What there not saying is why don't you idiots take a government job, after all most of the jobs that our civil service it's not who you know. It's how well you do on a test or in some cases  what you bring to the table in prior work experience. ( Now I know that's not always the case, just look at New York City mayoral appointments, this administration and the last).
Now assuming how much better it is to be in the public sector and that most jobs aren't based on who you know but how well you do on a test or what you've done prior, one who have to be stupid not to try for a civil service job. Most Americans take civil service jobs as a last resort, and if you don't believe me, just look at how many people actually apply for a civil service job, you don't fine a line around the block for most of these jobs. So because these jobs are so good one would have to reason that politicians,newspaper columnist, along with most pundits on the boob tube and annoying radio are really stating that Americans are stupid. After all the majority of Americans should be applying for civil service jobs and their not.
