Public Sector and Private Sector Jobs

Over the last twelve months the private sector has added a million jobs while the public sector has lost 250,000.  Critics of “big government” have to look at this data and smile.  Government is getting smaller.  Of course, a quarter of a million people don’t have jobs, but that’s o.k. because government is smaller.  Government services can’t be delivered because of layoffs, but that o.k.  Government is smaller.  So is the American heart and soul.  We are becoming a greedy, fearful country in which all that matters is the individual.
