Government is #2 Industry in Kentucky

Seriously?  Seriously.  

In a recent study that lists Kentucky as the 7th fatest state in the Union – a little missed fact:  We’re also pretty fat on government.  The study lists Government as the second largest industry in the state.  

1. Manufacturing
2. Government
3. Real Estate, Rental, and Leasing
4. Health care and Social Assistance
5. Retail Trade

No mention of the Horse Industry in the top five.  I find it incredibly interesting that we just had a special session to plug a budget whole created by our own fatness.  There’s simply no denying this.  Kentucky’s government is far too big.  Next time the legislature has a special session, it should be to give themselves liposuction.
