In reply to Chris.

He’s also backed off of his 80% number as he’s felt the fullness of his powers. He now says that only 10% will be public sector….of course, if you read the paper put out they are taking things like education and counting them as private sector jobs…yeah right! Another interesting tidbit is that while only 20% of the jobs lost thus far are by women, Obama’s team claims that 42% of the new jobs will be held by women….the entire piece is nothing but a furthering of sex, class and race division. but more on that later

Maybe by inauguration day it will be 5 million.

I still suspect the “new jobs” will either be manual labor the chronically unemployed consider “too demeaning” to sign on for, or require math/science education that most Americans don’t have/won’t get. Or both. Obama is already saying we need an illegal alien amnesty to “heal the economy”–nevermind that as they’ve been losing their jobs here they’re go home. I have no trouble imagining him increasing the H1-B visas to fill government sci-tech jobs. Good grief.

The scary part of this is that he said 80% of those jobs will be private. What I wonder is if a job is subsidized by the government, is it still considered private? The other 20% leads to an expansion of Federal Government workers of 25-35%. Imagine another 600,000 more government officials telling us what we can and can’t do!
