The only jobs fedgov is protecting and will ever protect is their own stinking lousy bureaucratic, wasteful, economy-sinking jobs. They will doing everything in their power to keep and grow their bureaucratic jobs and agencies. It's in their best interests. Self interest is just as alive and well in government as it is in business. The only difference is the free market works though voluntary cooperation to achieve those self interests, whereas with fedgovt it's coercion and force on you and I to achieve their self interests.
Fedgov a beast with a life of its own and it couldn't care less about you or me. (BTW - it was never meant to.)
