“I left the private sector 5 months ago for management in State Government - Trust me - you want guys like me in government... and I should vote...”
Would you care to elaborate why we need guys like you? What value-added function are you performing through your gubmint management position? Are you helping to shrink the gubmint?
If you are working “for” the gubmint bureaucracy, the ONLY responsible thing you can do is to make your position unnecessary and (ideally) your entire department unnecessary. The only people in the gubmint should be those elected to serve there and are constitutionally mandated to serve. 90% of the gubmint positions are useless, cost us our hard earned money, and erode our rights.
I’m happy to eliminate my position - although that reality is not likely in the immediate future - so in the mean time - I will do everything in my power not to waste tax payer money.
In my short time I have found nearly 500k worth of wasteful redundant spending - which is not going into any budget this year. I consider that a win...
I kinda like where I’m at right now - and if I wasn’t sitting at my desk there is a better than average chance that some commie would be sitting there fattening the hog...
My boss and I joke (he’s also conservative - came from private 5 months before me) that at the end of the day we should be one step closer eliminating ourselves.. and I’m OK with that...
Otherwise I fully agree with you - Somebodies gotta get in there - the bureaucracies are infested with layers of commies - gotta start somewhere...
I think I’m doing a pretty good job - and I’m not trying to build any sort of endless job security - I can go anywhere - but I like what I’m doing now.
