Am I the only one that noticed how, the probabilistically nearly impossible, latest jobs report showed that 17,000 private-sector jobs were created, while government payrolls were cut by an exact equal 17,000? Seriously, an EXACT inverse relationship . . .
Is this just irony? It could certainly be interpreted as such, and maybe I just have a warped way of interpretation. Nevertheless, I don’t see it as irony, but instead take it as insult. The “Haves” have been incessantly attempting to privatize the public sector for private profit since government’s genesis. Of course this comes with a blatant disregard for the “Have-nots” that they so easily exploit. However, in the past the “Haves” would at least go through the gyrations of herd concealment so that only the helpless minority of politically astute would realize its happening.
The zero sum of private-sector gain at the total expense of public-sector loss is reprehensible. It is yet another outwardly demonstration of the unfettered callousness of which the “Haves” regularly display.
In Solidarity!
Since early August, three administration decisions—on Arctic drilling, the Keystone XL pipeline and the ozone that causes smog—have all favored dirty industry over public health and a clean environment. . .

That’s the way to put Americans back to work, developing renewable sources of power and fuel and building the next generation of energy efficient cars, homes and workplaces. Read more . . .
