That is the nature of government programs in general. Once a program starts, it cannot be stopped. Once a budget goes up, it can never come down again. Any politician who tries is going up against people who are quite literally at risk for their livelihood. The fact that their jobs were redundant or overvalued in the first place hardly matters; they still get a vote.
Mike Harris tried, and by the end of his term, he was loathed by every union and almost everyone even loosely affiliated with big government. I think almost 20% of the Ontario population is employed in the public sector. You can't afford to lose that vote. That's why Harris resigned.
