better than hiring those same people to do nothing at 5x the salary as government workers.
Low wage workers cost the govt. a substantial amount of money genius. First, they pay less taxes (DUH!). And minimum wage workers typically get all sorts of welfare benefits like Medicaid and Section 8. Replacing high wage jobs with low wage jobs is a great way to bankrupt the govt.
