dead wood is dead wood... at least 15% of government jobs are prolly patronage jobs to start with
Maybe because there isn't one?
Finally...
why assert the existence of a recovery if there isn’t one?
I did my first solo flight at the Chesapeake Regional Airport.
What recovery?
Local and state governments ought to be as big or small as their respective population demands.
I applaud, with great enthusiasm, the destruction of the octopus-like FEDERAL bureaucracy. Annihilate it. Yesterday.
“Maybe because there isn’t one?”
True. The recovery is a hopeful wish of Obama and his propaganda mouthpieces in the media. The latest unemployment figures showed a drop in the unemployment rate due to manipulation (reduction) of the employment base, not real gains. It seems almost every “positive” number is the result of contrived statistics, not real economic activity.
Hopefully most American voters are smart enough to judge the economy by their eyes and not listen to the lies of government and the media. Look at the empty storefronts and boarded up factories. Walk through any major store (Kohl’s, JC Penney, Macy’s, Wal-Mart) and count the few products made in the USA — millions of US manufacturing jobs lost due to the free trade policies of both parties. Look at the $4.00 per gallon + price of gasoline. Look at rapidly escalating prices in the supermarket, three to 4 times the government claimed inflation rate. Look at the pitiful 1% or less return on savings at the bank. Look at the fading for sale signs in the neighborhood as well as the number of real estate “price reduced” and “short sale” ads on Craig’s list. How many neighbors in their 50’s and 60’s have lost their job and “retired’ early due to lack of jobs? When was the last time you saw a major new employer move to your town? When was the last time you got a raise at work?
If the economy is so good, why hasn’t the government sold its shares in General Motors — can it be the company still can’t stand on its own? Why aren’t the food stamp rolls declining? If hiring is robust, why is the deficit still increasing — shouldn’t the tax revenues from all the new jobs be reducing the deficit?
Bwaah haa haa! Since when has the recession ended?
Since when is trimming public employees a bad thing? I don't know of a single government entity that couldn't use a little trimming. When it comes to our bloated, overbearing federal government the trimming could be done with an axe.
Its their own benefits packages that are doing them in. The cost of pensions (especially) make it harder and harder to keep them employed.
dead wood is dead wood... at least 15% of government jobs are prolly patronage jobs to start withWe need to lay off about two thirds of all public employees.
Including teachers, cops and a whole passel of politicians
This is purwe BS.
Publci employees are the biggest eaters at the trough and have swelled their ranks tremendously under Obama.
Paying for this group’s benefits including pension is second only to SSA and Medicare in the burden placed upon our country’s finances.
DESPITE THE LIES OF THE LEFT... AMERICANS KNOW THAT WE ARE IN A DEPRESSION.
LLS
Wonder how long it takes them to find out Obama’s presto changeo gig isn’t working?.
