Obama: ‘Economy Would Be Much Better Off’ With More Government Workers
Cybercast News Service ^ | July 30, 2013 - 4:37 PM | Fred Lucas

President Barack Obama—citing the job losses since he took office—said “the economy would be much better off,” unemployment would be 6.5 percent and the national deficit would be in decline if there were more federal, state and local government workers.

“If those layoffs had not happened, if public sector employees grew like they did in the past two recessions, the unemployment rate would be 6.5 instead of 7.5,” Obama said. “Our economy would be much better off, and the deficit would still be going down because we would be getting more tax revenue.” …

I have an idea! Why don’t we ALL work for the government? Then there would be no unemployment and revenue would be through the roof!

Idiot.

Not really. He didn’t say this. He is a communist, that is for sure but is he stupid as well or is this just another show for the fawning, lick spittle proletariat?

We have gone this far down that the proletariat are stupid enough to swallow this shite?

This is a disaster of epic proportions.

I know people who actually believe that. Some of them teach college kids.

Government jobs are a negative for the economy

And we can just keep printing money forever and we can play monopoly and, and, and. We would produce nothing and just follow Plisga’s rule of a thousand.

Plisga’s rule of a thousand says that once you get to a company of a thousand employees you don’t actually have to produce a product but instead can just pass notes and communicate with one another. Just wonderful!

Dumb ass. Simple as that. Dumb ass communist!

OK, let's have EVERYBODY work for the government. Bob can push papers from Pile A to Pile B. Ravi can push the same papers from Pile B to Pile C. Latifah can move them to Pile D. Bon'Quisha can pick a paper from Pile D and print something on it (no cursive) and put it in Pile D. Then, finally, Toprameneesha can put the same paper back in Pile A for Bob to work on.

Et Voila! Zero unemployment and tax payments to the federal treasury too big to calculate. The deficit disappears and we all live happily ever after.

You’ll be happy to hear that Google has already indexed your post and it shows at the very top when I search for “Plisga’s rule of a thousand” (imagine how much more and much sooner NSA knows!), but it doesn’t return any other relevant results. Are you sure that’s how it’s spelled?
