All nonsense. Government workers are workers. Period. And private sector workers are not necessarily more efficient. Look at Medicare, 7% overhead while private insurance is at least 20% and often much more.

This makes no sense.

More typically, because of government inefficiency, some number (greater than 1) private workers lose jobs for each government worker that is hired.


Because government is inefficient, government workers are more efficient. Else how can a government worker replace more than one private sector worker?

And this is equally incoherent

It is true that both will spend the money they earn; but private sector workers' expenditures will generate more economic activity than will public sector workers, since people spend their own money more wisely than government spends it for them.
Does the government dictate how its employees spend the money they earned?
