In 2012, Romney raised this point with his “47%” comment. A growing share of people (especially unionized government employees) depend on big, well-funded government to supply their income. Rather than stating this obvious fact to one an all, though, Romney just said it once to a group of supporters, and then scuttled away from it when outed.
Here’s the thing: the government does not exist to provide unnecessary, over-paid jobs for lazy people. Now, many people believe that is exactly what the government exists for, but they are mistaken.
“At Stanford University, Kaitlyn Benitez-Strine, a 21-year-old senior, was scribbling notes in the back row of her modern Japanese history class recently, listening as her professor cataloged the misdeeds of the American military in occupied postwar Japan.
“People became increasingly resentful of the U.S. military presence,” the professor said. “There were crimes by U.S. Army personnel — rapes and murders.”
A good indication of why younger members of our society feel the way they do about America.
They usually do.
If they cut the overall military 500,000 and “only” add 250,000 TSA, DEA, ATF etc agents they can claim 250,000 government jobs have been “cut”.
When can we expect racial quota’s to be enforced upon government workers as they have on the private sector that contracts with them...
I think we need to prioritize the layoffs and outright firing of “people of color” in government employment and a freeze on their hiring until they reach parity with the general population and create an enforcement method with the courts.
It’s only fair.
Well, that's a surprise.
“”” But as the article notes, it hasn’t exempted the public sector.””””
Maybe. I don’t think the public sector is in any danger. But, that’s what this article is about- whining that they SHOULD be exempt from any down turn in the economy.
I think this is the primary reason blacks vote democrat...many blacks work for the government and the democrats want more government (therefore more jobs) while republicans claim to want to reduce the size of government (fewer jobs).
Does Diebold know that?
Oregon is going to pilot that program this year.
