Greetings: I spent most of my working life as a government worker. First 8 years you may like, as I was in the army. Then worked 2 years on a federal ACTION grant, helping teens find volunteer positions. Than spent 2 years trying to help poor people get out of poverty at a community action agency. Did 10 hour days 6 days a week for $600 a month. Then spent 20 years administering a federal/state program helping people with disabilities prepare for and or find or train for employment. My last job got no government money. I directed a pro life crisis pregnancy center. Many of the above government jobs required unpaid overtime and no time to take the allowed vacation time. Each job demanded that one stack um high and tight as the funding was rather fugal and the help minimal.. My government final salary after 32 years with a master’s degree was $40,000.00 a year.(2008) I was the highest paid person at my office. Not all gov workers live in the lap of luxury. Not every one sits around doing nothing. It is not all the motor vehicle department.
Maybe not, but plenty of it is. I truly dread dealing with “public servants.” I can’t think of them without scare quotes.
And every job task you listed would have been done faster with much better quality by private means. It is an insult to your ‘customers’ that their money was taken to provide inferior service, and then forced to pay lavish retirement for others.
Aside from your service in the military, every one of those should have been done, in total, at the state local or county level.
You deserve the public’s undying gratitude. The problem is all those slackers who make the good guys look bad. And they are protected by the civil service union. The best thing Trump could do for the country would be to decertify the federal employee union.
