Government Job Growth. ut oh.

Wow, congratulations. I didn't even know you were hiring. I thought you were watching your money? I thought revenue was down and debts were at an all time high. You still found a way to get some more people on board anyway. At whose expense? Yes, I'm talking you to you reading this. You have just hired 10's of thousands of more people. "I didn't hire anyone?" You sure did. The U.S. government if you were not aware is you. It is you and it is your money and your debt increase. There is no magical money produced that gets this done. Let this sink in. It is your money and it is your debt, and it is absolutely your future and your kids future it is sealing the fate for. Did you know that government job growth recently surpassed private sector job growth. Are you really okay with this?

This may be the first time you have read or heard this, or that you may have really given it some thought, but the government of the U.S. is "buy the people, for the people". Have you heard that somewhere? The government is not an incentivized for profit productive business. Incentivized for votes does not count. The government is not made up of businessmen or entrepreneurs. The overwhelming majority are lawyers and full-time politicians. The government does not have some endless supply of money. This is your government and this is your money. You are responsible for it.

As an employer, as you are, do you know how nearly impossible it is to get rid of government workers once they are in? It is to the point, at least where I live, that politicians will public say "I can't cut this job out or lower any government employer's pay". "They have a mortgage to pay". So what do they do? They raised our taxes, meaning, they take money from me and you to cover some unneeded government job. Brilliant. Why do they go this route, with money they don't have? They do it, and basically everything else, for votes.

Well they can tax the rich. Great, now there's a plan. Punish many of societies hardest working and brightest minds. Let's see what that gets you. Maybe you can look into the crystal ball of countries outside of the U.S. for what that does to societies. Hey, haven't we been "sticking it to the rich" forever? What are we getting for such a "noble plan?" How about billions and trillions of rising debts and deficits. So I guess that plan doesn't really work.

As an employer, you need to hold your line managers accountable and stop hiring. We have been given the greatest goose in the history of man, America and capitalism. Her accomplishments and the good its brought to people's lives, who have chosen to take advantage of it, boggles the mind.

It is time to stop killing the goose, America, that lays the golden eggs.
