If 44% of the federal government employees were out of work as of August 2, it would amount to roughly 880,000 new productive workers
And these productive workers will work where? I see 880,000 militant unemployed persons demonstrating and generally causing chaos through civil unrest this country has never experienced.
Jobs they now have will never be found in the private sector.
Jobs, even without the generous benefits, simply are not there.
So you’re saying these people could not somehow become more entrepreneurial? Start businesses? Figure out a way to manufacture something? Re-grow the economy — I mean, it HAS happened before.
Oh ye of little faith . . .
