Going by the kind of logic that the far left uses, government could hire everybody
Government could pay everybody to sit on their hands, and that would fix everything.... [:D]
While we are at it pay everyone a ten thousand dollars an hour minimum wage.
Hell, we should count everyone who is getting unemployment checks or food stamps, or even SSI as employed, by that sort of crazy logic!

A Republican plan to sharply cut federal spending this year would destroy 700,000 jobs through 2012, according to an independent economic analysis set for release Monday.
The report, by Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi, offers fresh ammunition to Democrats seeking block the Republican plan, which would terminate dozens of programs and slash federal appropriations by $61 billion over the next seven months.
Zandi, an architect of the 2009 stimulus package who has advised both political parties, predicts that the GOP package would reduce economic growth by 0.5 percentage points this year, and by 0.2 percentage points in 2012, resulting in 700,000 fewer jobs by the end of next

From your link:
In all, the private sector added 54,000 jobs.
But government has been shedding jobs consistently for the past year.
It did so again in June, slashing 39,000 jobs. Government spending may be higher, but employment at the federal, state and local level is falling.
So explain this to me.
Conservatives, such as yourself, want to cut government but ignore the fact that cutting government means cutting jobs, while at the same time you complain about high unemployment.
