What's the point of working in the public sector if you're going to get screwed in downturns just like the folks in the private sector? Public sector workers certainly aren't going to get a share of the wealth in the next boom period. Obama is completely wrong about this not affecting future hiring and retention, as he's undermining the very security that makes government work attractive.

I'll reply for Obama;

He wants people who want to be there for reasons besides money and job security. It's crazy and could fail but there's also the possibility you start getting people dedicated to the job above all else.
