[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 261020, member: 2189"] Traveler, IMO, the gov't has created a false labor market by propping up job numbers with ever growing numbers of people entering the ranks of jobs with the gov't and civil service. Let me ask you and others here a question but let's use Central States to prove the point. Back in the early 80's Central States has 3 plus workers contributing to every retiree drawing a check. Very nice balance for good growth and security for all. However times change to where now we are at a 1 to 1 ratio and it can be argued there is 1 retiree to less than 1 contributing worker. What's happening to the plan? Down in flames so to speak. Now what does this have to do with the gov't employees? How many private sector workers who generate tax revenues are needed to properly fund the correct level ratio of gov't workers? If you keep adding gov't workers to the growing gov't workforce (and we have big time), you must also keep adding workers to the private sector jobs in order to maintain the funding balance. Simple supply and demand so to speak. Now, what happens for example if a country in this scenario say for example stopped growing it's core population base of citizens by a reduction in child births? What happens at the same time that gov't continues to grow and a privater sector worker funding shortfall begins to grow otherwise known as a deficit because there are no longer enough workers in the private ranks to keep that end of the economy going to produce those tax revenues? Can the gov't make a trip to the private sector worker store and buy some private sector workers for an "INFLUX" into the American private sector workforce? Can the gov't "CROSSOVER" so to speak to another area and "BRING BACK" workers to make up that shortfall? Get ya a mouthful of that, swish it around a while and you just might begin to figure out just what that taste really is and just who is the culprit in much that what ails us. We thought they were our friend, we thought they would step up and defend us, we thought they would do the right thing but yet with all the talk they do nothing. WE THOUGHT WRONG MY FRIEND! [/QUOTE]
