About those jobs numbers
Veeery interesting -- from
Investors Business Daily:
Private Jobs Down 4.6 Million From January 2008; Federal Jobs Up 11.4%
President Obama�s statement Friday that the private sector is �doing fine� drew so much ridicule that he was forced to backtrack hours later. But it�s clear that Obama and many other Democrats see job problems � and solutions � starting and stopping with government employment.
A quick look at payroll stats shows that�s not the case.
Private-sector jobs are still down by 4.6 million, or 4%, from January 2008, when overall employment peaked. Meanwhile government jobs are down just 407,000, or 1.8%. Federal employment actually is 225,000 jobs above its January 2008 level, an 11.4% increase. That�s right, up 11.4%.
Talk about out of touch -- like more government is going to fix things.
As I said last night, I want
FREEDOM, not
FREE STUFF.
