Gummit was inefficient and run by bureaucrats. It needed shrunk real bad. Now gummit is run by a good-old-boy network of paperhangers and deal-makers, all profits are privatized while costs are not, bureaucracy has been replaced with a black hole of crony contractors. Working people must be beat down further so that the creme 'd la creme can rake in $300K a year instead of $275K. We must fore go healthcare and pensions so that CEOs can have golden parachutes and complain that we aren't competitive in the free market.

And this saves us money, right? This is good for us, right?
