Police, firemen and EMT are a small segment of the overpaid sloths. Some are worth what they are paid especially firemen but in most places, even red states, they are unionized, which spells trouble for the citizens’ pocketbook.
Just look at your local city or county employment rolls. They are bloated just like DC. Heck in my county we have a full time arborist to tell developers how many trees they must keep, or plant, on their property in order to get approved and a hospital administration board even though our local hospital was acquired by Advent Health. This so called hospital administration board was meant to help the hospital survive when it was a stand alone but now it is a ‘money pot’ for political b.s. disguised as medical assistance. There are full time employees who will shut down property use if animals on the endangered species list are found on the property, the gopher tortoise is a notorious one here.
In a neighboring county the election department just spent $9 million buying a vacant shopping center to house their department. They won’t address election fraud but they can justify spending taxpayer money by saying it ‘saves on them not renting’, even though the entire shopping center now becomes tax exempt. There are commercial tenants that will not be displaced when the department moves in and becomes their landlord.
City and county rolls are bloated just like the fed and they continue to grow while everyone focuses on DC or the state.

Yes! This^!!!
By our focusing on the federal shenanigans, our own locals are getting away with doing the same d*mn thing: chipping away at and usurping our rights, taxing us more and more and more, choosing big-business over mom-n-pop entrepreneurs - all to pad their own pockets just like in D.C.
