This is a Canadian perspective on this... When I was a pup I recall the wage for a Government worker was lower than the public sector.  It was argued that the lower pay, and benefits, was more secure then that of the private sector.

Fast forward to todays time and the Government workers make more than the private sector, way more, and they think they are in a protected class...

Now a US perspective... The Government passes Obamacare and in doing so exempts themselves from having to use that program.

Government employees stayed home, some didn't even work for their pay checks ... Teachers went to resorts, still got paid... and bla bla bla.

I think they should run the Government like a business and always look at the way things are done... Is there a way to be more efficient and or a better way to do it to save the tax payers money.

DOGE, showed a good reason why there was soooooooooo much Social Security fraud.  Most of the applications where paper filed and there was no computers checking and rechecking applications.

They started to move the documents do digital format in hopes to solve the problem.

Government needs to be a lean mean serving machine.  I would argue even further that it needs to be decentralized out of DC and put the jobs in American's hands.

I could say more...  But I'll leave it at this.
