Most govt employees are the same ones who spend almost all of their income and live paycheck to paycheck.
Guess where all that money goes? Right back into the economy — your private business.
Directly or indirectly, we all benefit from government employment. It’s unfortunate so many people can’t make the connection between private and public employment.
Additionally, unions benefit those in private industry as well because their employers have to compete with union and public employers, effectively raising the wages and benefits of workers in private industry as well.
Ultimately, the unions are the only thing holding up what remains of our middle class right now. Be careful what you wish for.
