Cuts to Government spending, which Obama has pushed for and supported, is stalling economic recovery

Richard's Real Estate and Urban Economics Blog: Anti-stimulus

The Government Component of the  National Income and Product Accounts for the past 6 quarters (QI 2010 through Q2 2011):

21	Government consumption expenditures     and gross investment	-1.2	3.7	1.0	-2.8	-5.9	-1.1
22	Federal	2.8	8.8	3.2	-3.0	-9.4	2.2
23	National defense	0.5	6.0	5.7	-5.9	-12.6	7.3
24	Nondefense	7.8	14.7	-1.8	3.1	-2.7	-7.3
25	State and local	-3.9	0.4	-0.5	-2.7	-3.4	-3.4

Anyone see a problem here? It's not like we have seen a rip-roaring "crowding-in" of the private sector. For those who think we should cut government spending, well, we are, and more is to come thanks to the debt-ceiling deal. I hope I am wrong about this, but it is hard to see how this leads to a recovery in jobs any time soon.
