"Liberation" From All Angles

By Chris Rossini

We're always so focused on the death, destruction and chaos that the U.S. foisted on Iraq.

When they're not dodging bombs and bullets, how are the Iraqis doing otherwise? How's that "freedom" thing coming along?

Politico reports:

In 2008, Iraqi government payrolls totaled about 2.3 million people.

By 2015, government employment was up to 5 million people—an additional 2.7 million people employed by the government rather than the private sector.

The U.S. government liberates people real good and hard...and from all angles.
