Over here in the UK we have just heard what else our govermant intend to do to try and cut or deficit by laying off 600,000 public sector workers. There is already talk of strike action from the unions. I think its gonna get real ugly over here in the next few years
"Some 600,000 jobs are expected to be lost in the public sector over the next six years, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has said.
The OBR has forecasted 490,000 job losses by 2015 and 610,000 by 2016.
During a Commons exchange, David Cameron said unemployment would fall during the coalition government's term.
Denying Labour's claims that more would be "pushed into abject misery", he said: "There are going to be more people in work."
Mr Cameron said the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) had produced full tables for employment in the public and private sectors - "something that never happened under a Labour government".
