If public sector jobs were rebounding at the same rate as private sector jobs are, unemployment would be dropping considerably right now. The lack of government revenue, of course, currently makes this impossible. Cutting spending and increasing taxes will solve this problem.<br>

</div>Your personal comments reflect exactly who you are. You could not be<br>
more wrongheaded.<br>
<br>
I do not have to defend my 30 years in public education to you. And you<br>
know nothing about my commitments to improve education, at all levels.<br>
<br>
As I have suggested numerous times, I see very little gained in<br>
interacting with you. Perhaps we can share the blog space and choose<br>
not to interact at a personal level. Let's focus on the issues at hand.<br>
