As manufacturing goes overseas, government jobs grow in number.

With the election underway, Americans seem to have forgot that Obama is still in power. And for those of you who think Obama is an amazing president, you may like to know he has grown federal bureaucracy so much that we now have more government bureaucrats than manufacturing workers.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - America now manufactures more red tape than all other goods combined. Our nation can finally boast having more government bureaucrats than manufacturing jobs.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the United States lost 9,000 manufacturing jobs in October. At the same time, we added 19,000 jobs in government. This means there are now 22,216,000 people working for the government.


Just 12,267,000 people are working in manufacturing, producing the goods we rely on in America.

The growing gap reveals just how serious our job problem is in America. We have become a nation of bureaucrats and service providers, and we have abandoned our role as manufacturers. At one time, Made in America was a respected label we wore with pride. Today, it's rare as all out manufacturing has been outsourced to China.

There are now more than 9 million more government bureaucrats than people working in manufacturing.


This is important to keep in mind when we wonder why wages are low and taxes are high. With fewer manufacturing jobs, we are making and selling fewer native-produced goods. That's fewer good paying jobs. It's also higher taxes to pay the salaries, vacations, benefits and pensions of more people whose primary job is to involve themselves in your business.

So if you think this is a fantastic development, make sure you vote for Obama's third term, Hillary Clinton tonight. Millions of government bureaucrats are counting on you to keep voting against your self interest.
