No one is talking about hating government employees we just see a trend that is unsustainable. Yes it must be nice to work for a non profit corporation (in reality operates at a rapidilly expanding deficit), that can command prices, where the union can bribe the managers, and if all other things fail they can just print money.
I hope those 7K gov't workers went to one of the DMV offices in San Diego. I waited for over 2 hours to get a temporary registration for a trailer - a task that took maybe 10 minutes.
I've always wanted to get into gov't flying vice the private sector, even when it was much more profitable to go private. I viewed the gov't side as much more stable and with good benefits for the long term. I would accept a low wage for those other bennies.
