Govt is eating up some of the private sector workers, but it also leaves a lot of private sector workers out on their bums because of inefficiency. With the govt taking over 40% of our GDP, I don't think the private sector is expanding at all, it's actually contracting. So even if unemployment goes down a little or stays stagnant, it may just be a sign that the govt is finding new ways to employ people at 10% unemployment. But in terms of meaningful productive, private, employment, that may actually take many more years at the current spending levels.<br /><br />http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/us_20th_century_chart.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-3469657031841489872010-10-08T09:53:12.131-04:002010-10-08T09:53:12.131-04:00I call bullsh!t.
