You may have noticed some economic difficulties across the country in recent years among family, friends, neighbors, colleagues. One sector is doing quite nicely, however, under Barack Hussein Obama.

In the 1,420 days since he took the oath of office, the federal government has daily hired on average 101 new employees. Every day. Seven days a week. All 202 weeks. That makes 143,000 more federal workers than when Obama talked forever on that cold day in January of 2009.

Under Obama the total federal workforce has surpassed two million for the first time since the first Clinton term, now sitting about the 2.2 ,million level.

Now comes a new poll revealing that Americans know what’s going on. A majority of Americans believes government workers make more money than private sector workers, according to the new Rasmussen Reports poll. Sixty-one percent of private sector workers believe that.

Nurses, doctors? Or what....I mean you think we hired that many people to actually treat people?

Yeah...sure. Because we all know hospitals and medical facilities don't need any other personnel. Right?

Probably a combination of nurses, doctors, administrators, etc.

There is almost 1400 VA facilities across this country and they serve around 5 million vets + the 200,000 + that served in Iraq and Afghanistan
