The Republicans have ZERO plans for job creation. In fact, the GOP's priority, supposedly,
is going to be reducing the size of government, which is a job ELIMINATION plan. You can be for that or against that but you can't deny that the GOP's plans mean jobs don't get created,
they get disappeared.
Did you happen to see why the jobs numbers were weak? Government layoffs. Government cutbacks.
That is the GOP's plan, if they have the guts to go through with it. Put tens of thousands of Americans out of work.
I'm definitely in favor of smaller government..and to achieve that, government employees (union members) should lose their "jobs". Big government is what got us into this situation. Imagine how much better off we'd be if "tens of thousands" of useless, redundant gov't employees and their bloated "departments" were eliminated...We could start with all of obama's unelected "czars".
....but since obama has everything under control, those workers will be able to find another job in no time...right? So it's a "win-win" situation.
So, which government employees should lose their jobs? Such an easy comment to make, but for anyone to take such a statement seriously some detail and a bit of what might be the consequences is needed.
I've posted this before with some detail, so I'll be brief.
Nearby large Federal buildings are a number of small businesses, many of which cater to federal employees and those who visit such offices; other larger business providing office supplies are dependent on these 'factories' where the "useless" work. What happens when their customers go away?
Simple solutions to complex problems create greater problems when not fully vetted. See the Iraq War for one very sad example.
I read a good idea that someone had..I forget where I saw it...
There should be a committee like the one that decided which military bases to close..The Base Realignment Committee I believe it was called.
Every agency should be reviewed for effectiveness and necessity.
Largest-ever federal payroll to hit 2.15 million - Washington Times
The era of big government has returned with a vengeance, in the form of the largest federal work force in modern history.
The Obama administration says the government will grow to 2.15 million employees this year, topping 2 million for the first time since President Clinton declared that the era of big government is over and joined forces with a Republican-led Congress in the 1990s to pare back the federal work force.
Most of the increases are on the civilian side, which will grow by 153,000 workers, to 1.43 million people, in fiscal 2010.
The expansion could provide more ammunition to those arguing that the government is trying to do too much under President Obama.
Do you believe the government needs over 2 MILLION UNIONIZED EMPLOYEES? Really?
Do you believe every agency/bureau/unelected czar is relevant, efficient and effective?
