You cons, who so firmly believe that govt spending does not create jobs, should do the following:Now wait just a minute. Everyone knows that government spending does not create jobs.
it does not cause a net increase in jobs. IF it did the governmnet could just hire the 23 million unemployed and end this depression now and never have to worry about unemployment again.
They could if they had not already spent 10 trillion or so before the recession hit.
FDR did it.
And we entered the 80's with under 1 trillion in debt....
Then we became a debtor nation under Reagan.
1. Go find a cop and tell him that he does not have a job created by gov spending.
2. Go find some Reagan economists and tell them that their idea to borrow and tripple the national debt, and increase taxes on 11 different occasions, in order to eliminate some of the problems that were caused with their massive tax decrease, was wrong. They sure believed that stimulus spending was a great idea, and needed to save their asses
This absolute certainty of deficit spending not helping the economy, and not decreasing unemployment in particular, are just plain butt stupid. Spend some time trying to figure out what has helped us during recessions and you will be surprised.
In the interim, if you need more information (which you obviously are not interested in) let me know. I will be happy to help.
