Just pointing out that government employees can span many types of people. Like my conservative wife.
Sometimes people take a job BECAUSE THEY NEED ONE. And it might be government. I guess some “true conservatives” would rather see someone on welfare than take a government job.
However, the point is simple...a conservative federal employee would probably (even if begrudgingly) admit that a private sector strong enough to take them on as an employee is better than the alternative. If I worked for the government I’d probably be more willing to vote for someone who might eliminate my job someday (NOTHING happens that fast, let’s face it, even a perfect conservative would take several years to really have an effect) as long as his/her policies supported a private sector that had a growth rate that I could voluntarily leave my government post on my own to go to the private sector.
The problem is not with government employees on an individual basis. The problem is that government employees for the most part should not be government employees. They should be private employees under contract with the government.
Government employees and government employee unions are bankrupting every city, county, state and the federal government with all their luscious perks that they are given in exchange for their votes in local, county, state and federal elections.
So, even if you are a conservative, if you are a government employee then you are a part of the problem.
