Government is getting huge. I consider government anybody who receives a paycheck from the taxpayers. What about the people who receive government entitlement checks?Who they gonna vote for?
We have quite the struggle.
I think I've been watching way to much Glenn Beck. I totally agree with your statements above. I fear this administration has a master plan to create such a huge number of citizens dependent on the federal govt that these same citizens will be forced to perpetuate the process because of simple self preservation. Also, the mentality..."if you can't beat em, join em"... will lure more and more onto some form of gov't payroll posn. After all, what is the most rapidly expanding component of the workforce? Who/what is the nations largest single employer?

I recently spoke to a colleague I did my medical training with and spent some time in the Army with. I had not spoken to her in decades. Turns out she's been retired for over 3 years. I said..."hey Eleanor, how the heck did you retire at 57"? Her answer--> "After I goy out of the Army I got a civil service job"... I should have known.
