Brilliant as usual bray.
I have a different take on public employment although I like your ideas and if implemented they would work very well and may be more doable than mine. Although most anything "we"(anyone from FR) would suggest would be far better than what passes for govt. "service" today. We need to put back the "service" in govt. workers.
My idea that I voiced here some time ago is to go back to public employees who are retired workers who are willing to work for nothing or very little,with benefits that are paid by them 100% simply because they care for and love the country.
Put in enough of them and sublet or outsource to the private industry most govt. jobs that are absolutely necessary. That would create an even stronger private industry in the country instead of constantly increasing the size of a govt. that produces nothing but more and more debt in each and every way.
Hey, what’s this about banning sleeping in your car down there? Trying to force us into a B&B with attendant possible exposure to bedbugs to carry back north? Not fair. Al&Jesse are on their way.. LOL
