I'm glad there are plenty of people out there that do enjoy working for the government and serving our country - in healthcare, environmental, safety, and other such departments and protection agencies. Or you know....teachers. And the military.

No one of any intelligence really thinks ALL government workers are lazy paper pushing bureaucrats. BUT we all see in the news over and over and over stories about the VA workers that really only cared about getting a bonus. They let patients DIE waiting years for treatment they earned with military service. Yet the VA employees just shuffled paper to hide the facts and earn themselves a big bonus.
Look at the entire debacle of the Obamacare web site. Ignore the Obamacare just look how they somehow spent 800 MILLION on a web site and it could not handle 100 users at once. I wonder how many people log onto Amazon every day. It does not crash and I bet it did not cost anything close to 800 million to put up.
Look at the ATF and fast and furious, or how the Secret Service just keep screwing up over and over. There is a real and overwhelming problem of a lot of incompetent lazy government workers or should I say paycheck collectors. The millions of dedicated hard working government workers are the silent majority and never make the news by going to work and busting butt to do a good job.
