Are you a police officer, a firefighter, or a public school teacher?
Did you know you don't have a "real job"?
Are you a librarian, a park ranger, a counselor for a public mental health agency?
Your job isn't "real," either.
A researcher seeking the cure for cancer or heart disease at the University of Michigan Hospitals and Clinics? A surgical nurse or a doctor who deliveries babies at the same facility?
Also not "real."
Do you take care of our wounded warriors at one of our Veterans' Administration hospitals? Deliver mail, plow roads in even the worst blizzard, drive a school bus with our precious children on board?
Still unreal.
A judge, parole officer, prison guard?
Not a job.
President of the University of Michigan? Get a real job.
An astronaut? A soldier? Just government work.
According to the new head of the Republican National Committee, Michael Steele, none of these occupations is a real job. They are just "work" because they are government jobs.
In an interview on Sunday (Feb. 8, 2009) arguing against President Obama's stimulus package, Steele proclaimed that only private sector jobs are "real jobs" and that government jobs are not "real" because they come to an end. Like jobs in the private sector don't come to an end -- at the rate of 600,000 a month in January, thanks to eight years of Republican policies.
You can read about the full interview and watch it here.
All of which brings up the question, why did Steele run for Maryland lieutenant governor a few years ago if government work is so unworthy?

I would not be surprised if the GOP doesn't want to do a do over soon with Steele.
Personally, I look forward to the Palin-Steele ticket in 2012.
