I certainly don't disagree. Hell, my own job is at risk too. Definitely hired to keep unemployment numbers from looking as bad as they were.
This reminds of of the early Reagan years where it was at the tail end of the Volker interest hikes which was the only thing they could do at that time. Reagan got his tax cuts and the economy picked back up. Regulations (even then) were squashed in favor of Small Business.
Now though, we have a triple (or quadruple) whammy. Too many government jobs (city, state, federal), decreased tax base, printing money for all sorts of reasons other than the only reason (if any) they should be, etc, a military in shambles, real infrastructure (that really only the gov can supply) is crumbling (think FAA, bridges, etc).
Why just yesterday I saw some folks driving 70k cars that I find hard to believe could own one....which leads me to believe I was right all along...some folk have learned to game the system by way of graft (of course, that's not gaming...it's theft). Case in point...how does that Jasmine Crockett have 3 multi-million dollar houses? What did she do before she was a representative and how on a representative's salary does she afford that. A LOT of people are getting rich off MY FREAKING MONEY - dare I say MY STOLEN money?
