government has no competition other than itself.
right now it's only a race between dims and pubbies on who can spend faster.
Google BRAC.

For one, it wouldn't bother me one iota to see about 50% reduction in the government "work-force".
Just a few departments that could easily absorb that kind of reduction in manpower and barely anyone would notice: FDA, IRS, NEA, Department of Education, HUD, OSHA, Department of Energy, and EPA just for starters.
I reckon that this list can grow by leaps and bounds in the next 15 minutes.......
Government factories MUST remain operational. Who else is going to pay for all the social programs? /s
Don't fret, If common sense won't straighten out the way people think in this country, a depression will.
When a union calls "strike"!! I laugh. It won't go that far however. Our economy doesn't depend on manufacturing.
Government spending is one issue, but Ford getting run out of the country by unions is quite another. The handwriting has been on the wall for a long time with the UAW and the US auto industry. People just refused to see the forest through the trees. Now, it's all coming home to roost. Can't blame 'gubbmint spendin' though. The blame falls on the unions and the industry for not kicking up a fight against them when they could still breathe.
