I'm seeing an increasing number of posts from people who have lost government "jobs"; "jobs" they seem to believe they are entitled to. Their posts also seem to indicate that they believe I'll be upset over their plight". They believe I'll take their side.
What do they say about people being unable to "read the room"?
I want ALL federal employees to be unemployed-- unless they can find a helpful, productive job in the market rather than a harmful, destructive "job" like the one they've previously held. If they are (or were) a federal employee, I'm going to assume they don't have any useful skills-- it's up to them to prove me wrong. I hope they are able to add to society once they are freed from living off politics. That would benefit us all!
Then, I want all state and local government employees to find themselves in the same situation.
I don't care if it's DOGE or someone else eliminating those "jobs". Just delete them and find more to delete. Keep it going. Bring the chainsaw!
Yes, this will cause problems for the economy. I don't care. I never asked for those "jobs" to be created and filled. Just the opposite. Tolerating government "jobs" was inevitably going to cause problems (beyond those useless and damaging "jobs" being performed) eventually. We might as well deal with it now instead of five years from now.
Doing the right thing is not always pain-free. If you haven't figured this out, you haven't done the right thing enough times yet.

Aren't people so accustomed to government that an incremental approach is the only way?
ReplyDeleteThe incremental approach has been advocated for a very long time. There's always some reason to pull back before it accomplishes anything.
DeleteIt will never work because it will never be allowed to work. This isn't a case of needing to use a scalpel, or even a chainsaw to rein in government, but a woodchipper, and use the resultant mulch to strengthen the Tree of Liberty.
Should slavery be ended incrementally so as to not upset those who rely on it?
How many murders per year should be ignored on the way to not tolerating murder?
Yes, people are (generally) accustomed to government, but government is just as barbaric and inexcusable as (other forms of) slavery and murder.
Doing the right thing isn't pain-free, but it's still the right thing to do. Even if it makes the government addicts uncomfortable while they go through withdrawal.
