If you look in the sunday papers you'll see lots of want ads.....the problem is that the American worker needs to retrain/retool in order to qualify for these jobs.....also most of the jobs lost were government jobs as well as construction/housing.

Nitwit.

The problem is the federal government pays an average salary and benefits that is 16% higher than what the workers are worth.

THAT is the problem today, not merely the raw number of federal workers.

It isn't only about how many there are; it is why are they being paid more than they're worth?
