I do too - for normal people. But not for people who view things as a zero sum game (their prosperity must come at my expense) I'm trilled at the prospect of them losing their opportunity to have their grubby hands in the machine screwing things up for the rest of us.
But given where we are, it just might convert a few rats into conservatives once they realize the government will not be there to give them salaries and benefits beyond any equal in the private sector.
Rats are hard-wired. There's no change possible using less than a 2-pound sledgehammer.
by example, the late arlen specter had staffers that were all left wing democrats that were dominant in his office.
the measure will be how many of these staffers will be rehired and who will hire them.
