As if just because they were private sector, that is why they did a bad job. I do the same line of work they do, in the private sector, and I'm good at it.

This is the same dumb fucking argument I have with right wingers on my facebook page, just with the coin flipped. Being private sector or public sector has no direct relationship to how good of a job people can do.
