Seeing many talking heads make a big deal out of government employees possibly losing their jobs does not inspire any sympathy from me. When there are economic struggles on any scale in the private sector, people lose their jobs. Why should government employees get special status of job protection?
Yes, cuts do often happen to government jobs, but I see far more protest at government jobs lost than losses in the private sector.
@shortstories Sometimes, yes. It comes from true believers as well who are not getting tax dollars too, because they geniunely think that our bloated bureaucracy of a system is good and cutting jobs is bad not only because of the government workers no longer having make work jobs but that those jobs are supposedly critical to "running our country."
