Take the Postal Service for example. If they privatize it they would be able to save most of those jobs they otherwise will cut. The pay may go down, then again does someone really need to make nearly $30 an hour for putting mail into a machine that sorts it for them?

Part of the reason for cutting spending in Government is to cut the waste, Canada has cut several things like Education, Wildlife & Fisheries as well as Environmental projects. Yet they have turned their debt issues around from the 1990's. Now we are in their place with debt and such. Cut spending and you cut waste, it's working for Canada! Right now there's a huge need for skilled labor such as Welding, Machinists, as well as other areas. Get some knowledge in those fields and you won't have to worry about finding a job.
