Growing the economy and creating jobs are diametrically opposed goals?
Growing the economy and creating jobs are diametrically opposed goals?
In a free or mostly free market, that doesn't happen. The lack of jobs now has to do with businesses not wanting to take risks in an environment where an amateur leftwing extremist president is conducting economic experiments.

You would be living in fantasy land
Depends on how we define a free market
If the disparity is esculating to where a small minority is making out great
and the larger majority is sinking
which IS happening
then we've a market obviously freer for some than others
so what happens? well, the same thing that happens in any top heavy economy, doesn't really matter what form of governance, because it's not how ya play the game, it's how ya place the blame....

No but a simple way to think about it is to divide money into three piles: infrastructure, capital and consumption.Growing the economy and creating jobs are diametrically opposed goals?

The current economic difficulties, caused by leftwing meddling in the housing market, has absolutely >>NOTHING<< to do with a free market, and beyond those actions which triggered the current economic crisis, government malfeasance is completely responsible for general american economic decline:
- Failed government schools
- Union wages not justified by the value of the labor
- Bloated government payrolls
- High regulation
- Huge deficit spending
- The importation of tens of millions of illiterate mexicans
- the huge entitlement programs
- "affirmative action"
- Cheap money policies caused by Fed manipulation
The truth here is that our NEW economy doesn't quite follow the rules of our OLD economy.. Consumption USED to be the king. Seed the consumer spending, and all the flowers bloomed. Manufacturers geared up, distribution and sales followed suite, and ancilliary jobs got boosted in the service sector..
NOW -- the American manufacturing sector is the insignificant part of the consumption cycle.. Seed consumption and Chinese mgrs staff up.. American shell companies composed of MBAs pocket the profits and sit on the cash. And although there might be SOME stimulation of the service sector -- it comes from a trivial fraction of American workers.
Our economic leadership better get on message and figure out how to save or redefine a manufacturing sector in America. Because measuring growth in the economy by measuring corporate income no LONGER has a very strong tie to employment..

imho, the economic circle bears definition not only to were the buck stops, but where it starts Flac
i.e.~
we were defined by what we did, not what we bought

Like continuing the tax cuts that didnt work under Bush either to create jobs?
