Metal Sludge Gossip Board

Mitt Romney wrote:He wants to hire more government workers. He says we need more fireman, more policeman, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people.

Is Obama wrong? Do we need less of them? Are they a waste of money? Romney thinks so. Thanks, Wisconsin.

Mitt Romney is on Metal Sludge?

From Jan 1999 to Jan 2010, less than zero jobs were added to the private sector. Since Jan 2010, 4.2 million private sector jobs were added.

From Jan 1999 to Jan 2010, 2.4 million govt jobs were added. Since Jan 2010, 510,000 were lost.

If it wasn't for the 2.4 million govt jobs added from 1999 to 2010, unemployment rate would be 10% right now. If govt jobs grew at the same rate from Jan 2010 to May 2012 as they did from 1999 to 2010 (1%/year), the unemployment rate would be 7.5% right now.

When Reagan left office in Jan 1989, there were 3.158 million federal govt employees. As of May 2012, there are 2.819 million. In Jan 1999, there were 2.765 million federal employees. So if you had federal employment at the same level as Jan 1989 and state and local govt employment growing 1%/year since Jan 2010, the unemployment rate would be 6.7% right now.
