What it's all about:

We read in the New York Times that Government Plan May Make Private Up to 850,000 Jobs.

We doubt that the money saved is all that much. Even the administration isn't sure. From the article:

The administration was vague about how much money its initiative might save. The president's budget said savings were on the order of 20 percent, and other officials said 30 percent, enough to save many billions of dollars a year in a $2 trillion federal budget.

As far as we're concerned, this is union-busting. Pure and simple.

Public employee unions are a political force, and they usually support the Democrats. That's why Bush want's them cut down.
