Stimulus funds boost number of federal jobs
The $787 billion economic recovery package also is stimulating growth in the federal government as agencies hire thousands of workers and spend millions of dollars to oversee and implement the package, according to government records and spokesmen.
Fourteen of the top federal agencies responsible for spending under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act say they’ve hired about 3,000 workers with stimulus money. That’s helped fuel the continued growth of the federal government, which increased by more than 25,000 employees, or 1.3%, since December 2008, according to the latest quarterly report. During that time, the ranks of the nation’s unemployed increased by nearly 4 million, Labor Department statistics show.
Overall, there are about 2 million federal workers, the data show.
In a time of economic crisis, we shouldn’t be adding workers to the government…but that, of course, is all liberals know how to do. After all, they find it distasteful to do work outside government…unless it is in media or education. How are we to employ the next crop of liberal, ivy league graduates if government employment shrinks? They can’t all work at NPR, ya know?
This, by the way, isn’t a bug – its a feature. Its the whole point of the exercise. There are now 25,000 more people to provide union dues to AFSCME, which will then lavish the funds on Democrats; and if the Democrats do lose, there is a pool of 25,000 more government employees who can, perhaps, be convinced to sabotage a GOP government from the inside (remember that 2007 NIE which asserted Iran had stopped its nuke program years earlier? Well, that got the issue off the front plate all through 2008…only now we know it was a bald-faced lie when it was written…and it was written, I am certain, on purpose in order to undercut the GOP). Essentially, this is just one more step in the liberal plan to lock themselves in to un-elected power while also increasing overall dependence on govfernment – thus making it ever less likely that people will bite the hand which feeds them and vote GOP.
We’re being slowly enslaved – and the liberals are using our own money to purchase us. We really, really have to stop them…and that means not just winning, but cleaning house from top to bottom when we do win. We might have only one more shot at this, fellow Americans…once more liberal after Obama and we’re cooked.
