I was shocked when I read this article about how many people work for the government.

"As of this September, federal, state, and local governments in this country employed a record total of 23,421,000 individuals, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics."

No wonder the country has so much debt. A lot of those jobs are probably useless jobs, sucking off the teat of government. Taxpayers have no control over where their money goes. The government has become a monster. We have to downsize.
