Tell me Charles,  what was the main point of the topic?  Excessive gov't 
workers laid off from their jobs?  That's a problem in ever industry when it 
downsizes.  The answer there would problably be retraining, (or in many case 
of government employees, training) in new job skills for the future.
Where we are losing jobs, is in the industrial sector where people made money 
to buy goods from markters.  In the new economic model, the workers are 
marketers, so we have marketers buying goods from marketers, and everyone has 
to have their "profit margin" which leads into spiraling inflation.
