Actually I’d argue that folks who work for the government are often in a better position than the general public to observe how the government spends its money and offer insight on such.

I’m guessing that the premise of your argument, as a self-identifying libertarian, is that all but minimal government spending is inherently wrong and therefore wasteful - following that a public sector employee who expected to be adequately compensated was similarly part of the problem.

While I can respect your personal views, I’d offer that the preamble to the Constitution sets forth many purposes for our government that are necessary to be met.
