Cutting these govt jobs and privatize these industries satisfies a certain segment of the populace. They believe that every American should go to work in fear that they will be fired at any minute.
They hate govt jobs because there's a process to firing an employee in a govt position. They want to be able to complain to your manager that you weren't smiling hard enough and your manager immediately assures them that you will be fired.
THIS is the problem these people have with govrmt jobs.
