President to trim Govt workforce
Monday, August 2, 2010 at 11:53AM The president, speaking to congress, indicating that the Federal workforce was too large announced that as many as one in five federal jobs were redundant and that there would be widespread layoffs of Government workers in every area. He went on to say that private small businesses were to be encouraged to start and encouraged to hire more people displaced from their government jobs.
So far so good.
Problem is - the President making the sensible changes last week was Raul Castro and the country was Cuba.
As Barack Obama and friends continue to push public employment at the expense of private, a country who has over 50 years experience living Obama's dream is going the other way.
Hmmm.

Good Lord!! Scale back the bureaucrats to 2009 level is a joke. It's a campaign year idea that will only be ignored after the November elections. Scale back to 2005 or 2000 is more reasonable.
