Sounds great! What do you produce?

Reliable electricity. Just as I did before. In fact, we've been more reliable in the past year than we did for the last several years. May be due to the influx of folks from private industry that have infiltrated the organization.

OK, or it may be to the merit-pay scheme we have and the fact that many insiders chose to leave the department which created the openings that we private-type folks filled in the first place.

Don't you worry, when our side wins (2004?) and there is no government ("like no government"), we'll remember your contribution to the fight and we'll take care of ya! Oh, wait, never mind, since there'll be no welfare state...

Great answer. I love these posters who think the lights will come on, the water will clean itself, the borders will police themselves, interstate criminals will turn themselves in, passports will magically turn up in the mail, military pension checks pop themselves in the mailbox, doctors will volunteer for VA hospitals, etc. etc. I bet everyone who's taking shots at you depends on some way on a federal employee - there certainly is deadwood in the federal workforce, but there are vital functions mandated by the constitution that we cannot do without. To think otherwise makes you a moron, or a straight ticket Libertarian voter. Small difference.
