Finding a public job shouldn't mean you're set for life no matter the economy.

Some of the laziest and most self-entitled workers I've ever witnessed work for the NYCTA.. railroad workers in particular. They really are set for life, and because of that, they don't actually need to do any work. One guy told me that the only way to get fired was to start a fight, or get caught using drugs. Other than that, they could sleep all day, watch movies, lift weights, etc.. They even had little living rooms set up in the shops, with old couches and TVs, fish tanks, coffee tables, etc.. They sit around for about 6 hours for every 8 hour shift, paid by the taxpayers (and ticket revenues, also paid by the public).

Personally, I think total compensation for all public employees should be straight salary, straight forward, up front, and voted on by the public. Not a bad idea.
