Quick. Guess which of the most recent Presidents had the most, the least, the growingest or the slowest growth in government jobs.

You know. The people who suck off the public tit. Not welfare but "government work".

When I was a kid, the phrase "government work" meant a slacker's job. Something easy. I am not sure this is the case any longer.

OK. How did the presidents stack up for government work employees?

Reagan? I bet he cut the shit out of those people living off our tax money. Or, how about George Herbert Walker Fucking Bush? Was he a trimmer of the damned goof offs in government? How about Carter, the christian wimp? Too kind to cut. Could it be Clinton? That lefty? While he was running around screwing everything in sight was the government work force growing out of control? And what about the anointed son, W? The one initial pres. A half or a third of the usual initials. Short of a load. I bet he cut the bejeezus out of those spongers on the payroll. Even the dumbest winger can wield an axe. Finally, Obama. Looking to even the score for those lazy black folks who were so badly treated by the GOoPers?

Well, the answer is here. Hold onto your hats.

Who reduced the payroll? The only goddam one of them to do so.

By now you probably have guessed that this is a trick question but not really. It is just that you, like I, have a twisted idea of who adds and who subtracts from the government when they have a chance to do so.

Of course, some of you might say that it is really the Congress who supports these numbers high or low. In a way, you would be right. But it is the Congress who is most pigging up to the trough at budget time. A skillful politician, one who was able to cut the size of the government work force, would have to be a canny politician to fool these money hogs long enough into beating their brains out at budget time. Right? Right.
