Republican, Downsizing | featured news

Government job losses a growing drag on recovery

Conservative Republicans have long clamored for government downsizing. They're starting to get it — by default. Crippled by plunging tax revenues, state and local governments have shed over a half million jobs since the recession began in December 2007. And, after adding jobs early in the downturn, the federal government is now cutting them as well.

Senh: Maybe if the government can first show us that they can keep their own jobs, we'll be more confident that they can actually help the country create jobs.
