I honestly don't know. Who's to say with fewer government employees, they can find work or are able to be start their own businesses like people think they can easily do. Remember we are also in a time of lean buisness even in government so companies aren't going to add jobs unless they truly need to do so.

Remember, Obamas economy is booming. GDP up and unemployment down... and all that stuff.
What is it now. 96 million, not working.

I guess that is a no on the link? Makes sense, I had a feeling these were made up percentages.

You are not that dumb, to not know that....

It's no secret that the federal government controlled 3% of the economy at the turn of the last century(1900). It really isn't a secret today, that the federal government controls 53% of the economy after Obamacare came to us all.

Government intervention in the economy has spread like a wildfire in the last 6 years. From federally mandated executive compensation rules for companies and job roles that had nothing to do with the financial meltdown, to the ouster of General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner at the behest of the White House, to forcing banks to take and keep Troubled Asset Relief Program money, Washington’s tentacles are reaching into the minutiae of private business dealings like never before. Setting aside the long-term philosophical questions this raises about the role of government in society.

Government has an important and legitimate role to play in a growing economy. It should enforce contracts, create a level playing field for all businesses, and steadfastly promote the rule of law. U.S. entrepreneurs can take it from there.

Ok, so it must be a secret for those not willing to hear it and see it. Denial is not a river in Egypt.

And Nazi Germany achieved an almost 100 percent employment rate by slashing wages, destroying unions, giving corporations free reign over practically everyone, banning women from the workplace and prioritizing guns and militarism over food.

Sounds like a recipe for success!

Worked well for the economy, until he wanted to take control of other nations.
Have we not tried to take control of all nations since WW-II.

Then it shouldn't be hard for you to provide information that shows the government controls 53% of the economy. Did you also know that 73% of all statistics are completely made up, including this one.
