thanks for the links.

Surely you haven't been believing the politicians. All politicians want their own power increased, if only for the time being, just until they get things straightened out. Surely you knew that is one of the destabilizing aspects of the nature of our money. No? Then read the POM Education group articles at: http://pomeducation.gather.com/

I seem to be the only person who's ever worked for the government and is on Gather...I worked for the Department of Corrections(state). One of the reasons that we do as well as we seem to is because we have Union Representation--we have the strength in numbers to stand up and say--No you can't fire us at will and Yes you have to pay us a decent wage! Many state, county and municipal workers gave up money for benefits and now too many people want to take our benefits--its not the worker that's the problem for the most part--its management. We watched as management got bigger and bigger(anyone can be hired for mgmt., but union workers are usually hired by guidelines and certain criteria other than how much you contributed to someone's campaign).

Another reason, I feel, that gov't workforce is larger than any other is because most of it can't be outsourced to India or China! Since Reagan, we've seen law after law that protects people gettin thrown out so the Corporation can make more money.....too bad we are still too stuck at pointing our fingers at the little guy--who's working the toll booth, fixing potholes, checking that the water is fit to drink....
