Washington DC, Federal ,state and local governments have ADDED more than half a million jobs – more than manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, mining, and construction COMBINED.
Meanwhile it’s an election year and 3 million federal workers just got their biggest salary hike in 40 years, with base pay going up 5.2% across the board. Some will get an even bigger raise because of changes in the locality pay system. Social security recipients are only getting a 3.2% cost-of-living increase.
Even more insane is the benefits of $44,000 in 2021, are roughly three times as those for comparable private workers, who get $13,500 in yearly benefits. That doesn’t take into account that, unlike private workers, most federal employees have the equivalent of lifetime tenure – regardless of how poorly they perform.

Government jobs hurts the economy. Goods and services are non existing. The democrats say jobs are on an upswing. Wrong people need to wake up! Mainstream media will not tell you the truth, neither will Facebook, young people!
No “young people” use Facebook, grampa.
“[W]e still feel the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping at the spoil of the multitude. Invention is continually exercised to furnish new pretenses for revenue and taxation. It watches prosperity as its prey and permits none to escape without a tribute.”
