It does not matter. The fact remains government jobs pay very well but produce absolutely no wealth for the country.
What democrats know is that if you simply keep expanding government evetually it becomes so big it’s self sustaining. No one will vote themselves out of a job. If we are not there yet we are getting very close to the point of no return.
When the government becomes the number one employer, no one will vote to change it. Eventually the whole thing will simply collapse of it’s own weight. Ask the Soviet Union.
I seriously fear we are at a point where we have lost control and will never be able to shrink the ever expanding gov.

Bingo.

Bingo.
Of course it matters. It matters because of the inaccuracy of the dataset.
Don't like gov't employees? Fine. All a bunch of deadwood doing zip for big bucks. Whatever.
No argument from me that most state, local and federal entities could use either a severe trimming or outright elimination. This process is already happening on the state and muni level - the feds of course keep adding commissars and camp guards to oversee the development of the New Socialist Man.
My point of course is that it's dishonest to use these numbers as presented to make that argument. The only function for this data is to incite and not enlighten.
