So long as that "gold-egg-laying goose" called the taxpayer is available, there will be no stopping the rolling up of costs and worse yet, the FUTURE COSTS OF PENSIONS AND BENEFITS for these parasites who can't hold a REAL job in the private sector, at anywhere NEAR the salaries/benefits they get in Taxpayer-funded phony positions.
This is even MORE-PRONOUNCED in Unionized positons in the Public Sector....where contracts reward long-dues-paying Members (Seniority), and protect their lack of skills/production via the Union Contracts, which prevent incompetence testing or removal from a job.
3rd party coverage is much of the problem. The sheeple are completely divorced from the cost.
