And the problem there is that the government doesn't actually pay for anything, since, as I said, the government has no way to actually make money for itself. It can only take.

So how do we curb it? Government workers, union and non, have the inside track and they have shown no hesitation in using it to perpetuate their tenure regardless of the harm it does to the economy that supports them.
