I didn't say that you made any such assertion...but your lack of clarity on quality versus quantity led me to promote a succinct point of distinction needed in the discussion. And yes, as with all aspects of the U.S. economy the U.S. government is the girding economic factor for the private sector as it the largest single user of national resources and employer of human resources with which to sustain private sector profits (via government contracts/bail outs/subsidies etc.).
