In addition, it is frequently noted that public employees earn more in benefits such as health care and pensions: therefore, a simple wage comparison will not accurately capture difference in total compensation. Nonetheless, after controlling for multiple factors including level of education, hours worked and non-cash compensation, Keefe found that, on average, full-time state and local employees are undercompensated compared to “otherwise similar private-sector workers.”...
Private sector job growth depends on increased demand for services. The 'opportunity' to grow those jobs depends on CAPITAL available 'TO EVEN GO THERE.'
I always have to laugh when I hear how cutting government SPENDING is going to increase jobs and income to the business sector. Really? Where EXACTLY is the 'capital' coming from to increase the ABILITY for small businesses to increase their production, increase jobs and increase the tax base?
EXACTLY WHERE?

From the EXACT place that prints the currency and distributes the funds THROUGH GOVERNMENT SPENDING, that's where.
The BANKS are getting FUNDING from the GOVERNMENT to facilitate increased opportunity for increased productivity, job growth and increased tax base THAT WILL PAY THE DEBT. Now, everyone want to try this AGAIN? Without the nonsense, this time!
A full year ago this MEASURE was proposed and then acted on by a majority Democratic legislature. It is NOW taking effect.
