If the Fed Gov is this bloated, what about every State?

Louisiana use to have an exceptional legislative auditor, Daryl Purpera. He uncovered so much fraud in this State at the local level. I always thought if he had a bigger staff he could have really made a dent in the corruption at the local level.

There's going to be some bloat, but nothing like what we have seen with the federal government due to state governments having balanced budget amendments.

Difference is states can't print money at will

I think when you include people who work for the state governments, the counties, the municipalities and then throw in public educators, we're looking at 20-30% of the US workforce being directly paid with US taxpayer dollars.....that's tens of millions of Dim voters.

Yeah, but Louisiana will cut checks at a certain percentage to a minority business who didn't even win the bid.

Mainly in Illinois and Louisiana.

I imagine they will get right back to you on that!

they might....if you protest too...

I worked at a local (parish/county) government level for several years. I always wondered what the level of waste was at the federal level because of what I saw. Guess I'm getting my answers now.

The amount of non-qualified people hired due to nepotism, etc was frustrating and 20% of us were doing 80% of the work. Needless to say I left. There are definitely some good and hard working government employees but it's definitely a small percentage. The best/brightest eventually leave.
