we could end unemployment right now buy cutting public employee wages by 60% (since they make double the going wage and work 10% less) and use the money to hire every single unemployed person!!
Don't tell me liberal public employee goons aren't deadly to our economy!!
I have said this from the start of the depression. We can cut the government wages in half to hire way more than twice as many people, because we are paying the unemployed to sit on their ass & eat, why not a little more to work instead. They can build many things that benefit us all but were not economically feasible for private industry. This could spur more job growth & higher wages. The unemployed are a wasted national resource.
Did you realize that governments do not, by and large, building anything? They hire private companies to do that.
It is an easy thing to say we need to cut government employees, but exactly what employees are we talking about? Fire, police, teachers, building inspectors, health inspectors, military, the people who pay the private companies and the fire, police etc? What exactly are these unnecessary jobs being done by government employees?
I did not say cut the number of employees, I said cut their pay in half. Take that savings plus what we are already paying the unemployed & hire them WPA style to build stuff like bridges, power grid, fiber optic networks, sewage systems, water treatment plants, dams, parks & recreation areas, clinics, hospitals, government buildings, maybe even train rails & stations or rehab, insulate & lower energy consumption on older buildings & HUD apartments, etc. There is always something they can be doing to improve society.
There are a lot of professional people & college grads out of work who are very talented if we give them a chance. Currently my tax dollars are paying to waste their productive value & overpaying government employees. Government is destroying capital & labor on purpose. This is why people hate to pay taxes to our stupid inefficient government. If we got good return on investment, we would not bitch so much about paying taxes.
Obama is no FDR. At least FDR hired WPA workers to build a great society making the country more efficient. Obama like Bush is trying to make the country less efficient. He will not be remembered fondly if this does not change.
Democrats cheer the government single payer insurance competing with private insurance companies. Why not have government compete in building society instead of being a boat anchor trying to destroy what they view as excessive production?
