Every time I see posters on here saying bring back American Jobs I want to tell them the answer to that is to get rid of 80% of our government. The "jobs" will reappear on their own.

One out of six workers in this country work for the government--federal, state, and local. Government controls 40% of the GDP--and it is growing.

“One out of six workers in this country work for the government—federal, state, and local. Government controls 40% of the GDP—and it is growing.”

Here in New Mexico that ‘one out of six’ number is much much higher, and constantly growing. I wonder if that figure is arrived at only by individuals who are ‘officially’ employed by one of the multitudes of government titles. If the figure were to include all the jobs that come to be through government grants, it would absolutely skyrocket.
