Michigan loses government jobs, hampering economic recovery

I'm just saying.

You didn't say anything.

The same is true of the national economy. Conservatives complain about the job numbers and unemployment rate when those would be much improved if there weren't the job losses in the public sector. You give them exactly the downsizing of government jobs that they have demanded for years and then they complain that there's too many people unemployed. It appears that "starving the beast" does have some negative effects.
