This is what happens when you allow the government to create the jobs, and not the private sector. Eventually there are not enough working in the private sector to pay the taxes to fund the government employees. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100913/ap_on_re_us/cb_cuba_mass_layoffs

The workers will be re-employed by private sector and the difference in how much they are paid will go to shareholders. Nothing new or revolutionary about this and no real lessons to be learned from it.

cuck, we are in about the same shape here with our private sector jobs, I don't see why a communist country would be exempt from a global economic downturn any more than a capitalist country would be.

They are of the impression that the private sector has more imagination than the public sector whilst both contain people with imagination not automatons. If the private sector isn't growing well then that is just because 'the government isn't letting it' according to them. Everything is the governments fault. Realistically there is no need to provide people with services they don't want, this is what stops private sector growth. Then when there is a service the public already gets from their government, they want to let the private sector take it over through this misguided belief the experience will improve if someone somewhere is making a profit from providing the service.

Quite. Everybody knows how massively the train service in Britain was improved when British rail was privatised, don't they?

I'm still paying for Metronet LU improvements. It's like someone forced be to become a shareholder in a company.

Ah, welcome back Thompson! How's the new brain transplant working out? Things are bound to get more interesting now.
