I touched on this a little bit yesterday on the air .. the Bureau of Labor Statistic reported that most job losses of late have been in the private sector. But guess what sector is growing? The government!
And this will only continue to grow thanks to Barack Obama and the Democrats.
In February, private sector construction, manufacturing, and business services all lost more than 100,000, and the service-providing sector lost more than 375,000 jobs. But government on the other hand added 9,000 last month, and the education and health service fields added 26,000 positions. In January, the government sector added 31,000 jobs, while education and health services added 43,000. Overall in 2008, the private sector lost 3.65 million jobs, while the government grew by nearly 150,000 in the same period.
Shame on you if you’re surprised. Of course government employment is going to grow with the party of government in power .. in power and led by someone who thinks that America’s greatness is derived from government. Here’s something else you may have thought of. Those government employees? They’ll likely be union members. The only area where we can find growth in unionization is in the government sector. This, also, makes perfect sense. Pulling down the most pay possible for the least amount of work necessary is a hallmark of the union worker … and why don’t you share with us your anecdotes about the last hard-working rank and file government employee you ran across. Perhaps it was at the post office.
Is this all the Democrat’s dream scenario? A part of me fears that it is. What a wonderful world it will be for the Democrats and Obamabots when every business is government-run and every employee is government-paid. Just think how great America will be then!
