I agree with Tallulah .... some government jobs are vital. If we are adding FBI agents, regulators to oversee the financial markets, etc then I think it is good. I'm all for more border patrol agents, more CIA agents, more FDA inspectors so that we don't have bad food coming in from other countries. Those are jobs I can get behind.

Of course I don't want any more government workers just drawing a paycheck and not contributing anything.

And I agree, I don't like the way government workers have been categorized in other posts. I have a friend who works for the Alabama Department of Public Safety. He isn't a state trooper, but he is in a support position that allows the troopers to concentrate on their jobs. My friend is not living off the public trough. Likewise, I know people who work for the Highway Department, the Administrative office of Courts, etc. -- they are hard-working people supporting their families, and also aiding our state in conducting very necessary business.

My two cents.
