Sure, but that isn't how it works. Laid of government workers mean less demand which means businesses either don't add or cut workers. The question right now is which is more harmful, further depleting demand or a slightly higher tax bill for small businesses? My guess is that the latter does less harm to the jobs picture, but neither is desirable.

Bullshit. They are both costs, and they both grow the economy. The distinction that you try to draw here is only your own preference (which is not to say that there are no distinctions).

The question is, If we let govt workers go, would the decrease in spending there flood into creation of private sector jobs?

Only in GOP fantasy land. How would this even possibly work? Are you assuming that we would cut enough government jobs to make significant tax cuts possible? There is zero chance of that.

On your last point, the GOP, I think, is looking a couple steps ahead.

You are clearly joking.
