Number of Jobs Added in August?

[asterism]

Balancing the budget, which would require eliminating millions of jobs, is going to help create new jobs how, exactly?

Can you entertain us with an explanation of that one?

You really don't have a grasp of economics, do you? Every dollar that gets spent on the Public Sector has to come from dollars generated by the Private Sector. Every time you take capital out of the Private Sector to subsidize government you're taking the capital with which real jobs are created, out of the hands of the only people who can create them. A balanced budget would force the Public Sector to live within it's means and keep capital in the Private Sector where it would work to grow the economy.

The private sector is not short of capital. Deficit spending doesn't take money out of the private sector unless the private sector is willing to loan it. We are borrowing money all around the world to finance the 40% of our government that revenues don't pay for.

Cut 40% of our current government and you will have to lay off millions, permanently. Stop pretending that is a jobs plan.

That is not a jobs plan that is fiscal austerity plan. Fiscal austerity kills jobs it doesn't create them. You don't get to eat more when you go on a diet.

Local and state governments have been shrinking for 3 years. That accounts for a huge percentage of the jobs LOSSES. Those governments are doing what you want the federal government to do...

...the result will be the same.

Stop pretending that balancing the budget will create jobs.

The private sector is willing to loan it but the FDIC stress tests are preventing it. Small business leads recoveries and federal bureaucrats are blocking loans to small business.

What's the solution?

More tax breaks for billionaires?

We've already seen that doesn't help.

Cons rejoice.

You know what?

I'd be delighted to have a President who was not a clueless boob bereft of the first shred of common sense who could execute even one solution to a problem that would actually help those he claims to try to be helping.

In that person's stead, we have the Big 0.

Your "Us Against Them" mind set precludes your honest assesment of the dismal failure this clown has been in addressing the problems that we as a nation face.

He, and you, are set on dividing the population into the segments that can be fragmented and that is your only goal.

In that, he, and you, are finding great success. We need to fix the problems. Fixing the blame only serves the goals of the hateful and the envious. That is to say, The Democrats.

Oh I don't know about that, code.

A lot of us on this very board continue (in fact in the previous THREE POSTS BEFORE YOURS!) to point out that BOTH PARTIES are basically on the same page when it comes to things like TRADE.

Do you keep missing it, or is it that you're so used to seeing the world as divided into two camps that you don't believe that we believe it when we tell you that both parties aren't worth a shit?

Jobs stopped being created when your party swung the Debt Ceiling arround like an axe.


The right had to do something to kill the economy

Reaganonics worked I don't know how old you are and really don't care I was alive for carter and lived through Reaganomics. America was the land of milk and honey while reaganomics was going.

Let's all thank the Tea Tards....cut government spending to the bone, then wonder where all the jobs went

it's about time the government got smaller. But as for the jobs in the private sector any budget cuts will not effect them because the government does not pay salaries in the private sector, The only thing the government does for the private sector is cut taxes.

i know that makes rightwingnuts happy because they'd rather see themselves destroy this country than be out of power. but the reality is that's not the whole story. the WHOLE story is that the private sector produced jobs. but those jobs were cut in the government sector because of cuts by tea freaks.

getting it yet?

It's not about being happy what it's all about is we were right and told you this would happen with obamanomics.

Are you serious?

Who do you think gets those government contracts that the Tea Baggers are killing?

Isn't it the democrats the ones who want to cut defense spending and those government contracts?

Thing is those government contracts do not stimulate the economy like the private sector does.

 

[JoeB131]

Yeah, DISasterous!

Easily fixed, though.

Solution?

TARRIFFS.

The Democrats have drunken the same "Free Trade/Globalist" Koolaid that the REpublicans have.

Someone says "Tariffs", and they scream "Smoot-Hartley". (They forget that at the time of S-H, we were primarily an export economy, and retaliatory tariffs did more damage.)

Another demonstration on the division of this country in 2 political parties that are identical on all positions that matter...

Or that they reflect where people want to be.

We all want the good paying job.

And we all want cheap shit to buy at WalMart.

There's a general fear of tariffs because everyone else will impose their own. So we'll help some industries, and kill others.

The real problem is we try to have it both ways. We want free trade and we want people who do business here to accommedate certain standards of pay, safety, environment, etc. That's not the politicians fault, they are just giving us what we tell them we want.

It all comes under government spending. Most government spending does not go to government workers it goes to contracts for defense, infrastructure, security, schools...

Many Tea Baggers jobs depend on government spending whether they know it or not

BUt that's the problem with you Keynesian... you think think Government should spend to create jobs, not to provide services.

Which is why it takes a government agency three overpaid workers to do what a private firm could do with one.

Now, if you want to have true socialism, and rob from the producers to give to the non-producers, that's fine, but at least admit that's what you are about.

Stop it you reallky don't care about defense spending you would love to see the defense contracts ended. All you care about is that intitlement spending is not cut.

I think some functions are better performed in the private sector and some functions are best performed in the government sector

Exactly what function has the government done that has not lost money?
U.S. Postal service?
The rail system?
FAA?
The school system?
The pot holes in the road system?

I think that if Tea Baggers are serious about cutting government spending, they should be first in line to offer up their benefits. Social Security, Veterans benefits, senior citizen programs, defense, public services..

If Tea Baggers are serious about cutting debt, there should be no sacred cows and that includes tax cuts. No cuts in taxes without identified spending cuts

Defense, the space program, roads, bridges, schools, police, fire, healthcare are all more efficient if performed by the government
