Gov workers are destroying this country.

They get paid double what their private sector counterparts are paid (benefits), retire earlier (55), get every city, county, state and federal holiday off, never work more than 40 hours a week, complain endlessly, as a group vote for those who raise taxes and then (endlessly) increase their salaries (annual 2% cola plus 2-5% performance), are mostly unionized, and produce absolutely NO wealth for the country.

Any hope for revitalizing this country’s economy begins with massive defunding of gov workers salaries, pensions and benefits.

Otherwise it’s same ole same ole, higher taxes to accommodate the unionized gov workers constant demand for salary increases.

DISTURBING fact about government workers shows Trump was right on this point all along…
Written by The Analytical Economist on January 9, 2016


It’s a good thing Trump wants to rebuild our manufacturing base, because it truly has taken a hit. We’ve turned from a nation of builders to burger flippers.

To put in perspective just how bad things have gotten – there were more Americans employed in manufacturing in the months leading up to Pearl Harbor than there are today, despite the fact that the population then was a fraction of what it is today.

In that time, there was 1 person employed in manufacturing for every 10.6 people in the overall population compared to 1 person employed in government for every 26.1 people in the overall population.

Oh how things have changed. As CNS News reported:

The 2015 Federal budget spends an unprecedented $3.7 trillion which leaves us with a deficit of over half a trillion dollars.



Those employed by government in the United States in August of this year outnumbered those employed in the manufacturing sector by almost 1.8 to 1, according to data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

There were 21,995,000 employed by federal, state and local government in the United States in August, according to BLS. By contrast, there were only 12,329,000 employed in the manufacturing sector.

DISTURBING fact about government workers shows Trump was right on this point all along... - Allen B. West - AllenBWest.com

The size of the government workforce has remained stable for 50 years....Trump and his capitalist buddies have sent manufacturing jobs overseas

So blame the government workers....can you expect more from Alllen West?

VOTE DONALD TRUMP.....!

There are good government workers, I've worked for many. But there are a LOT of worthless deadbeats too stupid to be employable in the private sector. When government started allowing unions in they worked against our best interest and we have no recourse. We can't simply use another government.

This is what happens when Democrats are put in power, they put the unions in, the unions take dues from the employees and funnel it right back into the Democrats party. It should be illegal, any private company that did that would be indicted.

Ironic!! A lunch lady who was employed by her local government and now a recipient of government furnished medical care, medicaid as well as other government benefits , whining about government workers who furnish her with those benefits !!!

Just as Bill Clinton proclaimed.............."it depends on what the definition of is, is." Does federal employees encompass the military? How about private security firms? Off the books think tanks/pacs that are now considered private after the SCOTUS decision?

I have a better determination (no offense Steph) for how far the feds are/are not out of control. Let us see how much it costs the feds to pay their employees after adjustment for inflation today, as opposed to 1960. Find that caveat, and it will prove/disprove what Steph says, since I am positive those facts are provided by the lefties beloved government-)

Fact is Federal employment is down. We have twice the population as 1960 and the same number of employees

You listen to too many rightwing myths

Unfortunately the numbers normally cited do not include contract workers, grants and mandates to state and local govts. A book written way back in 1999 put the number of people actually being paid to do fed work at around 17 million.

Well, we know every book ever written is 100% correct. Even if you give no indication of what book's name is, or the author.

 

[SAYIT]

The size of the government workforce has remained stable for 50 years....

do you lie all the time or just on USMB??

You lie like it's your job. Is it your job?

Many formerly federal functions have been dumped onto the states thus the real growth is in state and local gov't since 1960:

10 million in 1965
19 million in 2006
22 million in 2015

The federal gov't is dumping responsibilities on states ... not rights. Gov't mandates are proscribed and states are forced to comply and pay for them but I see you quickly disowned your "government workforce has remained stable for 50 years" BS.

Good on you but I'm certain you will again use it and hope no one notices.

Loony lefties are by nature inveterate liars.

So, you destroyed the private sector jobs. You engaged in union busting. You drove down wages. You want to punish government workers rather than do anything to bring back the jobs because...........if you're miserable you want everyone else to suck it as much as you?

My point wasn't that the number was accurate it was that strictly looking at the number of fed employees is not the whole story.

Yanno, that's a crock of lo-info happy horse crap so common among loony lefties.

Starting in the 1960s we pushed heavy manufacturing and those jobs out of the country on environmental grounds. By the 1980s technology (computers, robotics) continued the manufacturing job displacement trend.

Take heart, though.

Thanks to the rapid expansion of fast food joints and bloated government more Americans are working than ever. On the other hand bloated gov't entitlement programs mean the taxes collected don't come close to covering the bill.

Something has to give. Please consider that the next time you promote more spending of OPC (other people's cash).

In that time, there was 1 person employed in manufacturing for every 10.6 people in the overall population compared to 1 person employed in government for every 26.1 people in the overall population.

Oh how things have changed. As CNS News reported:

The 2015 Federal budget spends an unprecedented $3.7 trillion which leaves us with a deficit of over half a trillion dollars.



Those employed by government in the United States in August of this year outnumbered those employed in the manufacturing sector by almost 1.8 to 1, according to data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

There were 21,995,000 employed by federal, state and local government in the United States in August, according to BLS. By contrast, there were only 12,329,000 employed in the manufacturing sector.

There's a problem with this ---

There were 21,995,000 employed by federal, state and local government in the United States in August, according to BLS. By contrast, there were only 12,329,000 employed in the manufacturing sector.

The GAO does not even know how many government agencies there are!!! If they cannot account for all of them, how can anyone determine how many people are on the government payrolls?

So now, here comes the huge question. Say there IS an honest, concerted effort to cut back and even eliminate government agencies at all levels - WHAT THE HELL DO YOU DO WITH THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE LEFT WITHOUT JOBS?

you should read the whole article at the link I gave.

Who do yo want to fire?

Teachers?
Cops?
Firemen?

All of them. Then rehire them through privatization. It's got nothing to do without our tax dollars. It's got everything to do with their good buddies...........it will cost more but that isn't what this shit is really about. It's about patting their good buddies over at (For example)Turbo Tax on the head and handing them our tax dollars while getting rid of the IRS. Just like hand outs to UPS.

Yes private cops and teachers are such a treasure

Well, if we are going to take this down then maybe we can take it all the way down. Want Pinkerton? Let's show them what Pinkerton was really like.
