NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- As if struggling to stay afloat during a

What the hell! I work for LAUSD and I'm giving up 4 furlough days, and they
want us to give up 12% of our pay. My students don't have enough books, if a
student leaves , the next student that comes in gets a half used consumable

More than half of Americans say they think that federal workers are overpaid
for the work they do, and more than a third think they are less qualified
than those working in the private sector, according to a Washington Post
poll.
Half also say the men and women who keep the government running do not work
as hard as employees at private companies.

我家的割草砍树之类，都是亲力亲为，所以不认识割草砍树的非法老墨，但因为跟一家
中餐馆的老板很熟，经常去那里吃饭，连带认识了几个非法移民老墨。
都是偷渡过来的，据说很容易，很便宜，$300美元就搞定，所以他们经常嘲笑大陆来的
偷渡客，说大陆偷渡客要花六七万美元才能来美国，来了还不敢中途回家探亲，不像他
们老墨，几百美元就偷渡过来了，农忙的时候，或者家里有啥事的时候，他们还能回家
探亲，探完再花几百美元就又到美国来了。
老墨来到美国之后，很多是在中餐馆打杂，他们年轻力壮，干活卖力，要价又低，所以
中餐馆老板愿意雇他们。
当时那个中餐馆也雇了一个大陆偷渡来的中年男人，是老板的老乡，老板给他的工资要
比给老墨的多几百块，但那人身体不大好，干活有点偷懒，所以老板总在念叨，说如果
不是看在老乡份上，就把他炒了，雇个老墨能省不少钱。
有次去那里吃饭，看到一个新面孔，也是老墨，很憨厚，什么英语都不会说，就会憨憨
