They are dependent on the government to give them work. Being dependent on one's employer, and getting affected by budget cuts to the government, is dependency. I said they are dependent. Welfare recipients are also.
And the attacks on government workers and their pensions and so on, is showing that they do get equated with welfare recipients:

In this argument, it is intrinsically seen as government workers being worse than those in the private sector, because government structure intrinsically makes the quality of work worse.
