If you've read the news lately, Romney said that he likes to be able to fire people. Of course, this was wayyy out of context and in-context is a fundamental free market realization. I am glad that Ron Paul backs Romney on this issue:

You sound like the media you are berating.  He said "I like being able to fire people".

I don't think he'd fire many Federal employees.
