    Any time a civil service employee gets the axe, it is a good thing. But just replacing them with contractors, also working for the government and also paid with $$$ forcibly stolen from the taxpayers is a minor change. The government should get out of the way and let people directly hire the people providing services to them. The 5% of government “services” people actually want would be quickly provided, and better and more cheaply. Then the people receiving the service are the customers to be kept happy, and the service provider must perform or be terminated. All government cares about are graft, power, and control. Slapping down dissidents is their method of maintaining. I need the government middlemen to get my trash collected like a fish needs a bicycle (or a free man needs a government).
