FORTY LIES IN 40 DAYS: #28 Less Public Sector Jobs is Good

Blue Sky Girl appreciates today's letter to Syracuse.com!

To the Editor: 

Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle is once again quoted asserting - as does Mitt Romney - that ''government doesn't create jobs.'' It is mind-numbing to think that two folks who have spent years - and millions of dollars - pleading to be hired by the taxpayers can suggest something so abysmally asinine. 

Who do these folks think teach our children, police our streets, put out fires and help care for our elderly? Who ensures clean water comes out of our faucets, and spares most of us from a septic tank or an outhouse? Who is there in a disaster, and protecting us against attacks and in times of war? 

You might wonder how Mitt Romney can promise us 12 million new jobs when he has spent the past six years trying for a job in the sector that supposedly doesn't create any. 

On Election Day, I suggest leaving Romney in the private sector and hauling Buerkle away from the public trough. If you can't figure out what government does - or who issues your paycheck - you shouldn't be in it.

Thank you, sir!
