Silly Facts

Green Eagle vs. Confederate Yankee, who claims that a million jobs in the vital "sport-fishing" industry will be lost because the Obama admin.'s "indifference to the economic, social and biological value of the sport has been deafening."

Now, what can we gather from this information? Well, first of all, more people are employed in the exciting career area of sport fishing than work for the U. S. Government, or in nursing care facilities, or restaurants and bars, or hospitals, or food manufacturing. In fact, according to the ever-reliable Confederate Yankee, more people are employed in sport fishing than any other single area of the American economy! Who knew? In fact, more people work in sport fishing than the total number employed in "Amusements, gambling, and recreation," which I suspect includes sport fishing.
