@Houston - when the recession hit in 2008 the private sector melted down and the job losses were heavy, I don't know the exact number. The government used the trillion dollars in stimulus money to keep hiring government workers. We couldn't afford them to begin with, we can't pay for them now and we can't keep borrowing a trillion dollars a year for all the deadweight.
What's even worse is that the spending continues and even if they tax everyone at 100% we still can't afford all this government spending (federal and state). It's been five years, they haven't cut a penny, this shit can't last much longer.
The private sector's been in limbo for five years so the next heavy losses will come from the public sector.
