It would be cheaper to privatise or get rid of these jobs.
Meaning less cost, meaning less taxes meaning people have more to spend, lower costs of borrowing, business growth - more than 2.0% are employed with the same amount of money.

The debt is not nearly as scary as you think: Government budgets are nothing like family budgets - New York Daily News
There was also a newer article of the same kind in the past week but I can't find it.

Of course. Look, I never said they were effecient or good at what they do. I simply said that the US debt is not like consumer debt.
I'm all for less gov't - fuck I wrote in Ron Paul when I voted in '08.
@ taktikz Lol their will never be a change, this nation is way too lazy for that, unless they disconnect cable, food stamps, wellfare, and cigarettes there might be a small revolution. Money isn't the root of all evil, laziness is.
No, they don't create jobs. I've always considered job creation to mean that the total number of jobs increases. The only thing government does is take money from us, which reallocates jobs from the private sector to government. The number of jobs doesn't increase because of this. In fact, it likely decreases the number of jobs when you consider the corruption, incompetence and inefficiency in government.
WTF?!!! This author of that "article" is a fucking MORON!!! He should have his fingers pulled out so he can never type again.
His arguments:
1) The U.S. government can charge its employer (the taxpayer) pretty much anything it wants to. - No, it can't. Even if people didn't revolt - there's only a finite amount of money being made that can be charged (read: stolen).
2) When households owe money, they owe it to other people. The U.S. debt is owed mainly to ourselves. - Yeah, but it still has to be paid out in the form of entitlements (SS, Medicare, etc...) If it's not, people will starve and/or die.
3) When households owe money to other people, they can't just print it. The government can... The only real limit is the danger of inflation: If we flood the economy with too many dollars, the dollar itself might begin to lose its value. Might?!!! You can't create something out of nothing, dumbass. Inflation (price inflation, that is) is a direct and inevitable cause of the expansion of the money supply (i.e. inflation).
4) When someone in your household writes a check, the recipient tends to cash it. Not so when the U.S. sells Treasury bonds to banks in Brazil or China. Right, they're just holding on that that paper cause it looks pretty. This point is too WTF to even continue commenting on.
5) If a household doesn't pay its debts, creditors can take them to court or call the cops. Internationally, we are the cops. - That's laughable. We've fooled the world into believing we're the cops when in reality, as soon as they cut off our credit card, we'll be their bitch.
It's dumb fucking propaganda like this that got us to where we are now.
