Awesome Employment News: Federal Workforce Grows by 1.3%

More shovel-ready projects votes bought with tax dollars.

Fourteen of the top federal agencies responsible for spending under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act say they've hired about 3,000 workers with stimulus money. That's helped fuel the continued growth of the federal government, which increased by more than 25,000 employees, or 1.3%, since December 2008, according to the latest quarterly report. During that time, the ranks of the nation's unemployed increased by nearly 4 million, Labor Department statistics show.

This is going to be like California on a macro-scale, the same crap that bankrupted California (284,000 to 340,000 full time public employees since 1997)

Why would we asplode the federal payroll in a cratering economy? Because shut up that's why!

I hereby denounce the racism of this post.

I am banning myself now.
