I keep seeing these numbers about how may jobs were created this month and have to wonder when will it stop.
I just say this because I read statistics that say that the government state and local employs a little over half the population. I am not that good at math. That cant be good for the economy. With children and retired people at probablly 25%. Who is doing all the work.
My second gripe is who came up with this idea of basing our gdp on consumer spending. With a bebt growing, Social security I will never see yet still have to pay for. Dosent any one in congress see the levy will break and it will ****. Someone please tell me I am wrong.

You’re wrong. It’s worse than that. My wife used to work for a university where if there was funding or a way to get funding for a new employment position for a friend or relative, it was practically a done deal. And just remember the way government agencies are funded…if they spend all the money they were given for this year’s budget, they get more money next year, but if they don’t spend all of this year’s budget, they get less money next year! There’s no way to encourage frugal spending habits. And she knows for a fact that every May when money needs to be spent up, faculty members and staff go to the university store or shops on campus and spend money on jewelry, computer parts or software, and knicknacks for personal use! That’s how corrupt governments think, that’s why this country has a 9 trillion dollar trade deficit, that’s why Congress can’t (or won’t) get any real work done, and that’s why, when I hear that 51% of Americans are ******* off the taxpayer’s teat, I’m going to join them.
