It’s a good time to shrink government. If everyone in the private sector is hurting, voters won’t feel much sympathy for the government workers.

Why do so many people here think that government is just this big hole that money disappears into and is never seen again? Government employees pay rent and buy housing, goods and services. They don’t operate in a vacuum.
Unless the SD private sector derives all its income from outside the state or country they are going to lose money one way or the other.
