Here’s a Washington Post story about a government employee with nothing to do: “Every weekday at 6.30 a.m., Edward McSweegan climbs into his Volkswagen Passat for the hour-long commute to the National Institutes of Health. He has an office in Bethesda, a job title — health scientist administrator — and an annual salary of about $100,000. What McSweegan says he does not have — and has not had for the last seven years — is any real work.” It’s sort of amusing. But doesn’t McSweegan have an obligation to his fellow taxpayers to do the decent thing: quit and find a real job?
