Can I ask in what capacity?

Are you redundant?

Can our economy afford that many people not working? No, not really.

And that "18%" seems to be leaving out the collateral damage of people that work at commissaries (like the Baggers that work only for tips) or the towns whose economies depend on our National Parks.

This isn't "no big deal". It's hurting people and hurting our economy.

According to the article, the gov't hiring boom started with the recession in 11/2007- anyone understand why, beside the Pubcrappe...

Why the concern now?

The economy needs people that aren't producing? Since when? Our economy is better off without these people working and sucking up tax payer dollars.

We are better off with them unemployed, at least we just pay the welfare without the inflated salaries and benefits.
