We need to build prisons in every state.That would double the # of Gov employees.
This is how we become a fascist state! Eventually, everyone and everything will work for the government.
The economy will soon fail with such a ratio. We need a return of manufacturing and a 50% cut in government jobs which do not contribute to the economy.
More foolishness spouted by fools too lazy to check facts. Gov employment has been relatively stagnant for over a decade. Our manufacturing production is near record highs. Companies no longer need to hire 500 of you dummies to produce. Instead they can hire 25 people with real skills to produce even more product.
