I did and all I saw was a lot of people working their asses off helping people

No, but I worked in health care software and dealt with government and our public health care system.. and I personally know quite a few government employees..

I've worked at length with my local school board.. same crap..

We must live in different universes.. and I simply do not buy what you are selling koan... Here some folks in government work hard but mostly they are overpaid, under worked, and have ridiculously great pensions.. and a huge sense of entitlement.. I think they are all named Blankfein ;o)

We could use a good Reaganising like the air traffic controllers.. and lest you confuse me with a flaming right winger or gun toting Libertarian :O)

I support public healthcare, public education (it doesn't go nearly far enough) but unfortunately I've seen the waste first hand.. Wish I had an answer.. because the I'm alright jack mentality is not for me either... but what we have isn not working either..

Hi Koan - you worked in government in Alaska, right ?

Would it be a reasonable assumption that say Louisiana is different ?

Maybe Alaska is the end of the elephant that has the trunk.

And Louisiana is the end of the elephant next to the part that is like a rope...
