Simply privatize state government services. You'll have to pay current market rates for work, but you'll avoid those downstream costs.
They aren’t paying below market rates - maybe 50 years ago, but not today. This is particularly the case because the average state government employee is largely unemployable outside of government. DMV clerks, for example, wouldn’t even make good Walmart greeters. The whole problem is the political power of the government employee unions.
but they DO pay market price....from day one...its a myth that govt employees don’t enjoy good wages and benefits...thats what is so laughable, if not disgusting...
