Only Small Business creates jobs!
The biggest problem is that we don't have the money. It has to either be printed or borrowed. If it's printed it creates inflation which is just a delayed tax, if it's borrowed well that's another can kicked down the road.
Money goes around regardless of how it goes around. When you pay money to a hair-dresser to "dress" your hair, you're paying for a service. When you pay taxes for government to do something, you're paying for a service. It doesn't matter how you pay it, it's still payment for a service.
There are other reasons why government jobs tend to stimulate the economy less than private sector jobs (except for hedge fund managers who are about the purest parasites there are) but this one is completely wrong. It's economics 101 High School level wrong.
It is a bullshit idea. Because it will fail. And as Obama does this, it is only to distract from another bill that will make it easier to outsource jobs.
BTW, think of the jobs bill like this: Your taxes are being used to fix infrastructure (which we need) In the process this creates jobs. It's not like you get nothing.
Are there any real people on this site? We're all crying about the ills... is there a more productive method to express our grievances?
