Most people know the truth: in the Kwa which is all about making and spending money, government is the employer of last resort, and winds up with the dregs of the labor market.
You need to open your eyes and look around. People in a small town will apply hundreds of time over to get Post Office jobs, which pay 2-3x the going rate and offer benefits you'd never get privately. Same thing on the upper end too. Departments like the EPA are filled with lawyers making six figures doing very little work. Government now soaks up 50% of the economy, and its health benefits alone are better than all but a tiny percentage of private companies can afford to offer.
