Having seen how civil servants work, or rather fail to, it is clear that they are lazy, stupid and a dead weight on society. Consider this little gem from your progressive paradise. Apparently it was easier to ignore the problem than to deal with it. Anyone want to bet this would not have gone on for three years in the private sector.
Yes. Reds associate government service with inefficiency or corruption. Blues associate the private sector with removing wealth from the People and directing it to the elites. There is more than a little truth in both, and cleaning up either would leave the other a problem. Checks and balances would be a good thing.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
