Why don't Rebublicans talk about the economic effects of the loss of public sector jobs?

[sad sally]

But there is one area of job creation where President Bush clearly outshines President Obama: the public sector. Public sector employment is now down 608,000 workers since January 2009, a 2.7 percent decline. At the same point in President Bush’s term, public sector employment was up 3.7 percent. If, over the past 40 months, public sector employment had grown at the same pace as it did in President Bush’s first term, there would be 1.4 million additional people at work right now. That’d be enough to bring the unemployment rate down by nearly a full percentage point.

Public employees get hammered for being public employees, but they take/took those "good paying" wages and put them back into their communities - buying goods and services, paying taxes - how many other jobs are lost by the reduction of those 608,000 workers?

1. Because they are the reason the public sector jobs are gone.

Right wingers do not think public employment jobs are real ones. To them, those jobs are a symptom of big government; also, they think mostly minorities get these jobs (affirmative action, ya know). They also think public employees make way too much money since, after all, they do nothing to earn it.
