1. This Meme Is

total BS.

Even after the job slashing due to reduced revenue, we have tens of thousands
of people working for fed, state and local governments.

Under president bush, a whole new department was created (Homeland
Security) which required the hiring of hundreds of people.

The government is responsible for almost all infrastructure. Congress is
jerking around with the current Transportation legislation, the result being the
loss of at least 1.5 million jobs. This is hideous.

4. Would they say this to the tens of thousands of contractor jobs that the government creates

on a near daily basis?

Would they say this to the tens of thousands of men and women still serving in Iraq and Afghanistan and all over the world?

It's just deplorable, but the media doesn't call them out on it.

Plus, the government created the jobs that Cantor and Boener now have. What's wrong with people?

5. Exactly

What's wrong with people?

Hate to say it, but numerous people in the U.S. have succumbed to Teh Stupid. They're
dumber than fenceposts.

We have what? 320 million people? We can't run a first world nation with a third
world infrastructure and no government workers.

3. Dear Mitt: Please explain to me who employs all those veterinarians who inspect food

production facilities and supervise packing house inspectors??

FYI, the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT employs thousands of veterinarians. They are the nation's single largest employer of members of my profession.
