I think we should cut government workers by 35% and get them into revenue-generating businesses. That would make an enormous difference in terms of productivity and generation of GDP. We've done it before when things get.... It happens in businesses as well. Things get bigger and you need to take a step back and look at what your overhead is as a business and trim back to a reasonable level.
I did send in a few charts; I'm not sure if they came to you. There's a chart in there that illustrates this idea of business productivity growing and government productivity is remarkably dead flat. From 2000, the GDP per government worker is completely flat. There's no productivity growth whatsoever. I'm just asking for productivity growth to come there as well, just as the business sector is actively doing.
