the government is TOO BIG

have you noticed the services that we use as private citizens are slowly being cut or eliminated? teachers are being laid off, public parks are closing, just to name a few. yet, i hear nothing about any city, state, or federal government maybe laying off some of their own. i don't believe we even need half  of those government employees. what is the matter with us as a people? most of us don't have a job, yet someone is being apointed to some rediculous position as we speak. let's all get a grip.
