Why wouldn't I be more upset with the lobbyists and consultants? They're the ones getting rich off of lying and gladhanding. The government employees are just trying to get through the day. They have a billion processes to make sure they're not getting kickbacks or a fraction of the lobbyists's pay.
Sounds like your beef is more with corruption than it is with government.
I'm not sure how you missed that I was not happy about the consulting firms. I am very unhappy money is spent do to lobbying / power players to feed the consulting firms around the beltway that are hired to do the jobs government employees were hired to do. It isn't individual corruption, it is the whole system of how government works in DC.
