A study shows that the federal workforce will likely
increase by a third under Obama. Its probably true. Many baby-boomers are reaching retirement leaving even more "openings".
Unfortunately increasing federal employment is a mistake. Not just because the economy is so bad now, it's never a good thing for the country to have high levels of government employees.
They have to be paid. Taxpayers are the ones doing the paying. Many still think that government work still has lower pay then the private sector, but that's no longer true. Many government jobs now pay better or have better benefits, plus its nearly impossible to get fired.
If anything, federal employment should decrease by a third.
It should be more then, that but a third is a start. Retiring people shouldn't be replaced and expansions need to be stopped. However Washington D.C. has other ideas with plans with hiring of nearly 270,000. Our government is more deaf then ever.
Hoping for Real Change!
