Public sector employees, that is. Reason has a nice piece on the problem, with video.
I was at our local post office the other day, picking up a package, and overheard a conversation between two patrons waiting in the agonizingly slow line. The conversation started off by noting the injustice of low-skill Post Office jobs commanding top-tier salaries and benefits, paid for by taxes on private-sector workers like the two people talking. I was cheered by this common-sense observation.
But then the conversation veered into a direction Obama would be delighted with: the two started wondering out loud how they could go about getting one of these cushy jobs, too.
This is the road Europe has traveled, and the results ain't pretty...
