During a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) claimed that federal employees do not deserve their jobs or paychecks, arguing that these positions are not "real jobs" as they are funded by taxpayer dollars. Her comments sparked immediate backlash, particularly from Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas), who highlighted that Greene's own district contains many federal workers. The debate intensified as Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) opposed the privatization of the U.S. Postal Service, stressing its vital role in ensuring universal service, which no private company could guarantee. Greene's statements have intensified the ongoing discussion regarding the value and future of federal employment.
