You're Fired!

Government inefficiency is costing taxpayers big time. In this Liberty RoundTable Live short, Sam Bushman breaks down how state and local government workers cost nearly 40% more to employ than private sector employees—mostly due to lavish benefits and pensions. With bloated salaries and excessive compensation packages, the question is: How many of these government jobs are truly necessary? If we don’t cut the excess, taxpayers will continue footing the bill for an overgrown bureaucracy. The solution? Reduce government involvement where it doesn’t belong and let the free market lead the way. Should government employees have better benefits than private workers? Or is it time to hold the public sector accountable? God Save the Republic!
