And I’m supposed to thank them for this.

Parasitic government workers have become a political movement unto themselves; without them the Democratic Party wouldn’t exist (the unassimilated minorities that serve as their useful idiots don’t have sufficient numbers to impact anything). Thankfully here in NJ we ran out of money for them, and layoffs have sent many packing.
9/11 was a damning revelation of how bad things had gotten in the northeast; after 343 firemen were killed, the city didn’t replace them because they had wanted to downsize anyway. It is nearly impossible to lay them off, and this disaster was the only way the situation was rectified.
