Good. Now fire the “public servants” at the state and local level as well.
“Now fire the “public servants” at the state and local level as well.”
No kidding! My county needs a massive cleanout. We’ve got “managers” making over $160,000, and directors making $200,000.
Greetings: I spent most of my working life as a government worker. First 8 years you may like, as I was in the army. Then worked 2 years on a federal ACTION grant, helping teens find volunteer positions. Than spent 2 years trying to help poor people get out of poverty at a community action agency. Did 10 hour days 6 days a week for $600 a month. Then spent 20 years administering a federal/state program helping people with disabilities prepare for and or find or train for employment. My last job got no government money. I directed a pro life crisis pregnancy center. Many of the above government jobs required unpaid overtime and no time to take the allowed vacation time. Each job demanded that one stack um high and tight as the funding was rather fugal and the help minimal.. My government final salary after 32 years with a master’s degree was $40,000.00 a year.(2008) I was the highest paid person at my office. Not all gov workers live in the lap of luxury. Not every one sits around doing nothing. It is not all the motor vehicle department.

That would require so-called “conservatives” to get off their fat, mammon-worshipping asses and attend local town council and county board meetings.
They still need to do a lot more to make Federal employees at will employees. They also need to dramatically downsize the government so most of them can be practically fired and replaced with each administration.
State governments need to do the same, but they are at least forced to more often on the account of people voting with their feet.
which is why State government still provide most all the key services but only represent a minority of the costs.
