40K in benifits times 1.35 million employees comes to a lot of money. Not only are the workers overpaid there are far too many of them. Freezing their inflated pay and pensions does nothing but insure their fat pay and beni's. How about reducing their pay 20% and reducing beni's by 30K and allow Americans to feel they're getting some value for their buck and allow Gov. workes to receive raises according to factors like job performance? Now there's a novel idea I suppose is anti-democratic and middle class. LOL
