It is indeed good news about the loss of public sector jobs although I wish it were true in the case of the federal govt. The fact is if the federal govt wasn't able to print money (i.e., run at a deficit) they would have had to do what the state and local govts are doing.  

Government creates nothing.  Everything govt has must be taken from the private sector first.  I want as much of that money in the private sector where it can be put to good use instead of being pissed away by a bunch of govt bureaucrats making life miserable for the rest of us.

So those former govt workers have to go out and get a job in the private sector like the rest of us.  Am I supposed to feel bad about that?  I don't think so.  Maybe they will now begin to contribute more to society in the private sector than they ever would working for govt.  Admittedly they will now have to perform on the job and in most states they can be fired for poor results, they won't get 20 paid holidays per year, they will have to contribute to their 401k instead of a cushy govt pension like the rest of us, but that which does not kill you makes you stronger.
