During the past 20 years, the public sector has grown at a precipitous rate, far quicker than that of the private sector. During this recession, contraction of the private sector was on par with the great recessions of the past, but the public sector continued to expand.  It is well known, empirical evidence not with standing, that a dollar spent by the private sector will create more jobs than four dollars spent by the union organized public sector. 

Government are 40% to 50% higher than they would be if contracted out to the private sector. The taxpayer has no idea, not the slightest infinitesimal idea of how bad our government has been permeated by unions and their socialist supporters. The liberal socialist (sitting in their ivory towers) have created a bureaucracy so complicated that the lawyers and accountants who must keep track of it are baffled beyond anyones imagination. We all remember the $250 hammer.  For example,  things are worse than this, to suspend a student from school the educators must comply with over 60 regulations. Paper work to be filled out by businesses, individuals and corporations are so tedious that it is sucking the life blood out of the economy. .   Tax incentives, entitlement, subsidies to one industry after another are the result of government corruption. When will it stop? It has too, because if it is not and soon, we are all dead (not literally). Does anyone out there ever ask the question; WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT? Or to be more specific, WITHOUT THESE MASSIVE REGULATIONS THAT WE ARE FORCED TO COMPLY WITH?
