A 6.2% increase in government employment in three and one-half years? That's outrageous in a country that's borrowing 42-cents of every dollar it spends. That's an indication that there is no management oversight of government spending...NONE!

I can tell you from personal experience that at different times, and for several years in total, I worked for companies where the CEO would send down the order...no new employee hiring under any circumstances! No replacements for resignations or retirements or even deaths of employees. None! And he meant it. If somehow someone hired a new employee, it wasn't unusual that the person that hired him was fired!

All this article tells me is that no one in the federal hierarchy has a clue about how to run a business which is unprofitable...spending more than its taking in. Until we get someone in the White House and in Congress who will get serious about ths stuff, we're all in deep doo-doo.
