That means more than 10% more people work in gov’t, siphoning off productivity, than work in the productive areas.
Add in all the folks who collect money from the gov’t for not working, and we’re basically at a point where some small percentage of the working age are supporting the rest of the working age and the non-working age folks.
I’m sure that’s sustainable and does not mean that we need to shrink our gov’t to a sustainable level.
At least, that’s what almost the entire country thinks.
Eh, we be boned.
