I was looking at this panel discussion on Fox news today, it was very interesting, and they brought up a very good point; Since our private sector jobs is not doing that great (no jobs) that pay taxes, that pay govt employees, then why shouldnt our gov't lay off overpaid govt employees to save money? Why should postal workers get paid $50-$60k a year to deliver mail when you can find people for $10-$12/hr to do this. Why pay employees $25/hr to fill pot holes when you can find people to do this for $15/hr - its not like a lot of our govt employees are super educated or anything. These type of jobs can be done for a lot less with some training, so our govt employees get to enjoy higher then avg pay with very secure jobs because it is the govt...why should they get best of both worlds? and its our money that is paying these high salaries so they can have a secure life...Our govt needs to do something before we go broke paying huge govt salaries and even larger benefits that end up being larger then the actual employees salary, do you think that is right? What do you guys think?
Should Govt employees be laid off in this economy?
