So how much of the spending discussed in that letter was the result of unemployment and other benefits necessary as a result of the recession, and not as a result of growth in any governmental agency? How much of the spending occurred despite cutbacks and layoffs of local government employees? If those factors are not taken into account, is not the letter to the editor misleading?
