Richechex,
I vehemently disagree that the gist of this thread is “public employees are lazy, overpaid, and anyone can do their jobs.” Sure we have had a couple numbskulls weigh in but the primary oppostion has repeatedly stated we understand they work hard and are well trained professionals. Where we disagree is whether that warrants essentially guaranteed employment with 6 figure incomes and benfits unlike anything anyone in the private sector sees. Furthermore whether there is an adequate supply of potential workers who are willing and able to those positions for less.
