Note that somewhat more than 2% of the current unemployment rate is driven by public employee lay-offs in the 26 states with a Pub majority in the legislature or with a Pub Governor.

Herman Cain was spot on last night when he answered the challenge given him that he didn't understand how government worked, and he replied, "It Doesn't!".

Unfortunately, we have to lay off lots of folks (that's what Greece is not doing!). The consequence is everything that anyone in the private sector has experienced when laid off. The problem comes with the finger-pointing by pols of both sides, blaming anyone else but their party.

Harry, sadly
