And the most incredible part is that the private sector accounts for virtually all the employment in DC and the other counties in the SMSA.

In fact, the total population of the SMSA is, as of the 2000 census 5,358,130 people. Currently there are only 4,400,000 federal employees and military personnel.

That's down from 6,639,000 in 1968.

Fact is, we've had 2,200,000 federal employees replaced with computers!

Washtenaw county in Michigan (Ann Arbor) has the lowest unemployment tate in the state....and the highest percentage of taxpayer supported jobs.

They whine about their 9% unemployment and see higher taxes as the solution. Here in Jackson county right next door, the unemployment rate is over 14%.

Funny thing is that they are tring to figure out how to build a fountain, without laying off firemen.
