I’ve always heard that it takes 5 private sector workers to support one freeloa... err, one gubermint employee (on average).

Even if five, that is a devastating ratio for those who support expanding government worker rolls!

I tend to think that I stay in touch with what is going on a I feel pretty well informed on the news of the day. I've never heard anyone make the connection between how many private sector workers and retirees it takes to pay for one government worker or retiree!
