Sen. Joni Ernst has an interesting position about government workers returning to their offices. (Dec. 26, “Biden’s holiday gift to bureaucrats: Another staycation,” Page 5A)
It made me curious about how much time Sen. Ernst is present in her office when she is not out raising campaign money, on or off her motorcycle; currying favorite with Donald Trump, or on a junket to a far off land at tax payer expense.
Let us know, Senator, who is complaining about government workers not performing their duties. I still get my Social Security on time as well as my tax bill. Many of these workers have union protections that allow some time for off-site work.
