Economically, public sector jobs are pretty much a net loss. Since the wages of government workers are paid by taxes, so are all the taxes that they pay, paid by the private sector taxpayers. Since public sector workers rarely produce anything, the value of their economic contribution is in the services they provide. Some of these services are necessary (national defense, public order, ect).; some are extremely useful economically (maintaining transportation and communication networks for example); but some are economically negative.
It’s intentional. Bring it down hard on the black folk, then blame it on whitey.
Public sector employees “work?” Who knew?
But not in the states or locally.
Then too, the Feds keep hooking them into unfunded mandates.
Added to that budgetary mess is that 50%, or more, of ALL states' budgets go to education.
Disproportionality is certainly okay here when it is blacks that benefit, yet when it comes to things like convictions and incarcerations, it is racism.
I would suggest that if the cutback impact is particularly damaging to 'blacks' as a race rather than one would think of public functionary as a servant - of no particular race or creed, there is an easy remedy to this complaint.
Reduce the disproportionality of their representation in public sector jobs. There, job done, no disproportionality, no disproportionate affects due to cuts. It is simple.
More jobs than their proportion of the population, what do you call that? black privilege Government needs to diversify, establish some affirmative action to address this disparity.
Welfare is a green industry!
Save a whale!
Protect a polar bear!
Apparently, “A Thousand Points of Bullsh.....”
An anecdote:
After Hurricane Ike devastated Galveston, TX in 2008 (among other cities), there was a big push to NOT REBUILD the projects - the Federal government eventually became involved and came down hard against it and block this good idea to have displaced families live all around the city, closer to transportation and jobs and not all bunched together in a project. Democrats must keep as many dependent people and isolated.
It is government’s job to concentrate and cloister as many people it can in efficiently controllable geographical areas. This serves the purpose of economies of scale and efficiency as well as being a powerful influence in the process of shaping the public’s thought process.
A lot of people could do well as masons, carpenters, electricians, HVAC, etc. but a lot of people who could do it don’t take the opportunity. I ended up going for electrician after a degree and a fruitless job search that couldn’t find me decent paying jobs. It worked out and I make an okay salary now, and better than as a retail employee with an Environmental Science degree.
“So, now its official, wanting smaller more efficient government is racist.”
The government only hires the unemployable. It is the second
tier of welfare. Been saying that for years.
The pro-government bloc has reached such proportions that unless and until conservative candidates start resonating, winning elections, and enacting reform, it will only get worse.
I’m not one who believes that it will get so bad, people will eventually see the wisdom of the old values that made this country great. One look at places like Detroit show just how bad it would have to get.
And getting liberals elected.
Thank you, (guess I could have searched myself). I suspected it, but now I have confirmation.
If politicians have their wish (promoting/fast tracking Hispanics over other minorities in the military), that is yet another sell out for the blacks.
YES!
These are the REAL jobs.
Racism 24/7.
No problem - I knew it was higher but not sure about the exact number.
Also their numbers/statistics tend to lean towards Combat Support and Combat Service Support (CS & CSS) positions rather than the Combat Arms. Ain’t going to dig that one up this morning. :)
