Just a few comments:
1) This does not show number of jobs created, just total number of jobs; it shows that the number of jobs in the private sector has recently been going up, while the number in public sector is going down the number in private sector has increased.
2) The chart is sort of out of date, showing that the turn around occurred relatively recently. In reality, the graph was compiled from data only reaching into late 2010. Since then, the trend has continued, as shown by my graph.
3) The chart overestimates the decline in private sector jobs and increase in public sector jobs. If you notice, the lowest number on the y-axis is 106 million, and the top number is 118 million. If you were to set the graph so the lowest y value was zero, these would technically be minor statistical flukes.
I do not approve of radical redistribution of wealth, or radical redistribution of gpa. However, I believe whoever has higher gpa or wealth, has an obligation to help, or at least not hinder, anyone who has a lower gpa/wealth, AND WHO WANT TO DO BETTER (your scenario does not apply to the masses of american youth who sincerely do not care that much about gpa.
And now, I give you a scenario?
1) A student gives a teacher money to give them an "A"
A corporation gives the government money to lower taxes.
fmtiger, if the graph came from the bureau of labor statistics it is legitimate. However, the blogger came up with it, then yes, I call butterfly.
