Employers make jobs. Not Congress. Not the President. Not Dims. Not Republicans.
Actually, consumer demand creates jobs. .
No it doesn't, dipstick. There is plenty of demand in Africa. Where are the jobs?
[Which is why these austerity measures are failing miserably.
It never fails. It is just never tried.
Austerity means cutting government spending, not raising taxes. Austerity means those sucking on the government tit have to tighten their belts, not taxpayers.
1) YOu want to compare us to subsistence economies now? REally?
You are kind of making my point. When you reduce everyone to the very poor, which seems to be the goal of your Corporate Masters, you have no demand. Period. People don't buy new cars, they get more milage out of the ones they have. They wait for things to break down before replacing them and sometimes they don't replace them at all.
2) Austerity fails because when you cut government spending, you are reducing infrastructure and reducing demand. This is why it fails.
The problem is not the lack of money to invest. It is estimated the corporations are sitting on two TRILLION dollars. They just aren't investing it because theres no demand right now.
Which is the problem when you let too much wealth accumulate in too many hands.
