^I listened to Marc Faber this morning on CSNBC, he says if we continue this unfunded spending, we could be Greece by 2018.

Bill, I agree with your prediction, even with the early drop - by the end of the day it will be up.

^I wonder how many new jobs were created if you factor out the Census jobs? They hired 48K in March alone.

^I found it:

The hiring of 66,000 temporary government workers to conduct the 2010 census helped payroll growth last month.

There's the answer: Make the census a regular full-time job w/ Federal pension and benefits

With an annual census, the party in power could gerrymander their Congressional Districts every YEAR.....making even more "work".
