Thread: Excessive Government Spending - Obama needs to be voted out!!!

Where is everyone screaming about how we need to get rid of Obama and how the government is too big??? Obama has destroyed this country, especially Oklahoma...right?

We need to start a group called the 90 Percenters (since 9 of 10 jobs in okc are government jobs) and start protesting. We are the 90 percent of OKCers that benefit from excessive government spending and it has to end!

I'm tired of this muslim, socialist, bigot, illegal immigrant, taking from the value creators and giving to government employee parasites!

Why leftists are generally disbelieved:

27,000 work at Tinker.
So, the OKC metro area has 81,000 inhabitants.
Instead of the 1,300,000 you have been led to believe by the racist right-wing cabal.

Plenty of private sector jobs fled to China and else where. Would you like government jobs to do the same as a means of getting rid of them?

Brilliant comeback. Nothing lost in that translation.

FWIW: the tinker number is only the direct tinker employees--military and civilian workers who are employed by the miltary. It doesn't count the number of contractors on base (that's about 300 from Boeing alone) or those who are directly affiliated with contractors working on contracts at tinker. This would account for the rest of boeing because Boeing doesn't manufacter anything in Oklahoma any longer. Add Lockhead, L3, Arinc, TRW, Lear, Northrup, Goodrich, UTI, SCIC, Wackenhut, Flight Safety, Sodexo, DRG, GE, and about a thousand mom and pop contractors and the number is probably double. IIRC, the Governor's various aerospace initiative's press put the number at 50K.

But, the military doesn't count when you are critisizing the cost or size of government. There's no relationship at all between the giant military machine we maintain and the overall size of government. None at all....

So, I guess you were right all along, no?

Another reason the left is seldom believed.

Another brilliant comeback! Touche little cabage!
