JOB CREATION NOT THE PRESIDENTS JOB.
It is not the presidents jobs to create jobs at Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Bank of America or any private sector. It is his jobs to create government jobs that stimulate private sector to hire. But President Obama has been blocked on every occasion to create government jobs. It is a fact that government jobs has been lost by budget cut resulting in a domino effect of the private sector not hiring and laying off workers.
It takes money to create government jobs but the pay off is well worth it.
A sure way to make sure Obama fails is to stop him from creating government jobs. Obama failing is number one with Right Wing Nuts and T-Baggers.
Texas has not created one job. Supply and demand has.
It was government jobs that brought us out of the Great Depression and it will bring us out of the recession. Not Ford, Hoover Vacuum or Fuller Brush.
How many jobs does our military create? How many private contractors do we have in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Wow -not exactly top shelf when it comes to brains, huh. You sure sound like a product of our public school system too.
Right off the bat let's get out of the way what is meant by "job creation" because no one is saying it is the President's job to personally create any jobs. Government doesn't create jobs and government is NOT the engine that drives our economy either. When people talk about him creating jobs they do not mean they expect HIM to personally create jobs -but whether his policies are ones that will encourage job creation -or stifle it. Texas led the nation in job creation because their government policies encourage it and businesses are enticed to relocate and move to Texas because of that fact. Their state government policies are actually very different from those in many other states. California has some of the most anti-business policies in the nation which are driving businesses out of their state -many of which relocated to TEXAS! So yes, Texas created those jobs because their state government's policies are not anti-business policies but PRO-BUSINESS policies.
And I mean job creation in the PRIVATE SECTOR because those are the ONLY ones that count as real jobs. Something you really should already know! If policies are pro-business, it means businesses will move there -and bring all their jobs with them. It means businesses can prosper and grow even larger. And this one is important - when they grow, they will need to hire more people -thus JOB CREATION.
You clearly haven't a clue what is even meant by "supply and demand" because that not only is NOT why Texas led the nation in job creation, you clearly have no understanding how government policies can make it irrelevant entirely by artificially driving up prices, creating shortages and over-regulating and making a business that was operating on the margin fall into unprofitability and fail!
Government can either INTERFERE with those who really do create jobs -or create an atmosphere that encourages economic growth and more jobs. Please try to understand that one. If a President adopts pro-job creation policies, it is reflected in the private sector where the jobs are actually created and the unemployment rate is low.
So when people talk about whether the President has created jobs, they are actually talking about whether his policies are PRO-BUSINESS and PRO-JOB CREATION in the private sector. Or ANTI-JOBS and ANTI-BUSINESS. And let's keep it real. It is impossible to be anti-business but pro-jobs. Obama has been unapologetic about his unrelentingly anti-business and anti-job policies.
Now let's move on to your incredibly STUPID notions about government jobs -because you made some really MINDBOGGLINGLY dumb statements. When a REAL job is created in the private sector, that person's wages are paid by that worker's own productivity and the increase to the business his work brings. That's how it works in the private sector.
But the salaries of government employees are paid for by those in the PRIVATE SECTOR -and not by their own productivity. WE pay for them with our income taxes. And don't bother about the income taxes of government workers -we paid those too because we paid for the entire salary of that person. Its like pretending if I steal $100 from your piggy bank and put $10 back in that I somehow gave you $10. No I didn't -I took $90 instead of $100 but at all times the money being moved around was YOURS -not mine.
When government increases its size and hires another person -they have removed a productive worker from the private sector. That means everyone else who is left will be paying for an additional government employee and the share of the burden for everyone left in the private sector GOES UP.
While you are astoundingly stupid enough to believe that government growing larger is a good thing -in reality it is BAD and it puts greater stresses on the only people who are footing the bill for the whole thing -TAXPAYERS. You apparently believe the money paid to government employees comes from some magical place -but in reality it comes from those who work in the private sector!
Get it through your head. Government does not create wealth -it can only take it from those who do. Wealth is created by those in the PRIVATE SECTOR. Just like REAL jobs are created in the private sector. NOT by government which can only impede job creation or get out of the way so those who do create jobs will do so. Right now our government under Obama is impeding job creation.
And sorry to break the really bad news to you but government jobs did NOT end the Great Depression. WWll did. For years it was considered an untouchable subject to criticize how awful FDR's policies really were -but they were TERRIBLE. In fact more and more economists today agree that the policies of FDR actually deepened and lengthened the depression and made the depression last at least 7 years longer than it would have without his policies. That is about twice as long in case you didn't know that. Imagine if a Republican oversaw policies that kept a depression ongoing for 15 years. There are economic cycles but none that would naturally last 15 YEARS without a lot of active "help" from government. If you took even a basic economics class you'd know why his policies were terrible.
You no doubt rely on your chosen lack of ignorance to influence your votes -pity we must all suffer for it.
You can find literally thousands of reliable sites regarding an HONEST appraisal of FDR's policies and the New Deal -written by experts in the field of US economics from all over the country. And you can find thousands of sites claiming those experts are all wrong -written by political hacks. This is just one of many of the former -from economists from one of THE most liberal universities in the nation.
