Proof that few in government today have a clue...

Two stories in today's news show how out-of-touch government is...

-First the EPA which prevents the economy from growing by outlawing lightbulbs, shutting down the American oil & coal industries, and similarly closing down other entire industries as well -- now says they need to hire 230,000 more government employees just to keep up with the enforcement of their own rules.
Thus they want to hire nearly a quarter of a million people JUST SO they can keep putting other millions of people in America out of work.
Is it any wonder that candidates like Herman Cain are popular? Unless you happen to be one of those government workers with cushy, overpaid jobs then you are sick and tired of the government people taking taxpayers' hard earned cash and wasting it on things that kill jobs.

-The other one is local -- government big wigs who claim to be the watchdogs helping you are handing out bonuses and raises to their buddies..

While everyone else in America worries about their job and hardly anyone is hiring - guess what??
The number of people since the 2008 elections who now work for the federal government is up 7%!
In other words -- the recession sure hasn't stopped this administration and the government from spending more money and hiring more of their buddies and cronies.

I am ready to vote for anyone who vows to shrink government and get them off our backs!
