The private sector:

In economics, the private sector is that part of the economy, sometimes referred to as

Economic sectors the citizen sector, which is run by private individuals or groups, usually as a means of Three-sector hypothesis enterprise for profit, and is not controlled by the state. By contrast, enterprises that are Primary sector: raw materials part of the state are part of the public sector; private, non-profit organizations are Secondary sector: manufacturing Tertiary sector: services regarded as part of the voluntary sector.

Employment

The private sector employs the majority of the workforce in some countries. [citation needed] However, in some countries such as the People's Republic of China, the public sector employs most of the workers.

The GOP is playing that the private sector are the employees when it is the ones who should be job creators, who are making profits, but not hiring.

earlier this week and noticed the same thing. But I also noted that the President Obama ad running was the one talking about President Obama's Jobs Bill and Congress' refusal to pass it ... telling the audience to get Congress to pass it.

It seems a smart strategy:

You say I don't know what I'm doing. I counter with the experts say I do and you are stopping me.

You will see ad blitzes the likes of which you have never seen before thanks to the billionaires and their super PAC's.

Don't think we'll be seeing too many Rmoney ads this election, unless he wants to go all Meg Whitman on us.
