Government jobs will destroy our economy! Capitalism is the way to make life better in the country. The democrats are against this. They favor socialism. What country with socialism worked-none! Biden and the liberals keep talking about our democracy (government rules) we live in a constitutional republic (citizens rule) big difference! Remember that.
Increase in govt jobs…..
Just pumping up the numbers during an election year in a dismal economy.
