Why shouldn’t feds have to trim?

This is in response to Joseph M. Jason’s letter “Shortsighted to cut federal workforce.” Why does he think the federal government shouldn’t have to cut expenses? Businesses across the country have had to make adjustments to their workforce. Many of us in the private sector haven’t had raises or bonuses in years. What makes him so special? I also take exception to his idea that they are servants, apparently he hasn’t had to call a government office. Because servant is certainly not the attitude many of us have received.
