73% of New Jobs in Last 5 Months are in Government

"...Or to put it another way, 73 percent of jobs created in the last 5 months are a drain on the taxpayers that we don’t have. Because it’s one thing to add tons of government jobs when there are taxpayers, it’s a lot worse to do when the people who pay for government jobs are unemployed."

by creating so many "government jobs" the politician garners more and more people who will vote for more and more government, it is win/win for them and lose/lose for us who must pay these parasitic salaries.

for instance take your local public librarian, does anyone think of him/her as a government employee? no, not usually seen as your quintessential leech, but i bet he/she always votes to increase the public library budget because it is in his/her personal best interest to do so.
