If taken in context I read it as meaning that the private sector is doing fine in terms of beginning to grow again, while the public sector is not doing fine because it is shrinking instead of beginning to grow. Out of context it sounds stupid.

I am glad we can talk about this instead of WHY the private sector gained jobs while the public sector lost them, because this is easy to discuss while the latter topic would be too hard and no fun at all.

I think just the fact that we moved beyond questioning the basic composition of the thread to at least nominally discussing politics was a significant achievement here.
