The Post told readers that Republicans who complain about a bloated federal work force have the view that:
“new hires under Obama and the premium are helping to drive the deficit and discourage private investment that could boost the economy.”
Actually, they don’t usually say this since the claim is so obviously at odds with reality. With interest rates at 60 year lows, it is very hard to say how the deficit would be discouraging investment — as opposed to encouraging it by increasing demand. The argument against deficits usually involves name calling and hand waving. There is no obvious logic to it at this point and the Post is misleading readers by implying that there is.
