And when business raise their prices to the point where they are not competitive, customers go elsewhere unless there's compelling reasons to keep doing business with the company.
I'm tech lead on a small team in the company I work for. My company is profitable. I have 6 people, including myself to get the work done. I've probably got enough work for 8 people. Management understands I have enough work for 8 people but they have no budget to give me 8 people. So I get to figure out how to live within the budget and decide what may not get done.
Government needs to be run like this kind of a business. Government employees work for the taxpayers. A large number of taxpayers in this country are fed up with high taxes and are demanding the government cut spending. If the government employees lose a few benefits, well, welcome to the real world.
