What's wrong with this picture?


Here's a nice image from Fabius Maximus comparing government payrolls to manufacturing.

Questions

Exactly what has the increased governmental payroll gotten us?

Has it reduced poverty?

Are our schools better?

Does our mail get delivered more efficiently?

Do we have better public safety?

Have we eliminated drugs from the streets?

Seriously, can anyone actually name one problem that used to exist that no longer exists as a result of this increase in government employees?

Is there one problem that has even been improved as a result of this government payroll?

I've got an idea for all those governors languishing over their state budgets right now.

Tell every state employee "if your job didn't exist in 1970 it won't be here in 2010".

What would be the end result of that?
