More public sector job needed to jump start the economy.

[Stephanie]

None of these have had the intended effect of jump starting the economy.

Blame it on the Republicans. We have a Republican economy because they've done everything they could to obstruct the President's efforts to restore prosperity.

lol, that poor Obama...he's being blocked from his greatness of spending more monies.
dang it all to hell

 

[Rozman]

Public stimulus does not mean that the public sector can sustain an economy. Obama has been talking about jump starting the economy for 4 years now.... Auto bailouts, cash for clunkers, Obamacare, redistribution, taxing the rich, increased regulation, failure to shift America's dependence from foreign oil...... None of these have had the intended effect of jump starting the economy.

Do we really need 4 more years of costly failures to jump start the economy?

Stimulus programs are designed to temporarily boost employment and GDP. The 2009 stimulus did exactly that.

If conservatives don't want any more stimulus spending, then stop complaining about slow growth and high unemployment,

and btw, the GOP GOT the tax cuts they wanted that were supposed to 'stimulate' the private sector -

- apparently that strategy has failed too, if you ask, ironically, the GOPers.

Obama just got finished saying that the private sector was just fine...
You guys gotta get together and get your stories straight...

How did people become so ignorant? Many public sector jobs are necessary for maintenance of infrastructure and public safety but they do not stimulate the economy. Public sector jobs transfer confiscated taxpayer funds from one segment of society to another segment. The net result is a spike in phony employment stats but zero growth.

The economy will get its jump start when obama is out of office.

Only a total fool thinks public sector jobs can solve our economic problems.

Indeed. Big government IS the reason why we are here.

MORE PUBLIC SECTOR JOB NEEDED TO JUMP START THE ECONOMY.

President Obama also reiterated, a number of times, that we need more public sector hiring. The private sector is fine, the president said, but more jobs need to be created in state and local government.
Ben LaBolt, an Obama campaign spokesman, said in a statement that “Mitt Romney promised to eliminate even more public-sector jobs.”

Obama may blame GOP for a bad jobs report but it's no subsitute for leadership | Fox News

Mr. Obama’s point at his news conference was that for more than two years, monthly jobs reports have shown growth in the private sector, but continuing cutbacks in the public sector as state and local governments slash jobs in their struggle to balance their budgets; the public sector — not the private sector — most needs additional government help.

He has been wrong on everything else but we should believe him on this?

Hell? he lied to just get the gig...he shouldn't be trusted on that alone.

He's right, of course. The whole point of having a government is doing things and that takes workers.

Hitler and Stalin both "did things." The whole point of keeping government small is to prevent it from "doing things."

 

[bripat9643]

Oy vey!! Where's the money going to come from to pay more public sector employees??

Have you asked the Romney supporters that question? He wants a huge increase in defense spending.

Not because he thinks it will be good for the economy, dipstick.

 

[bripat9643]

We've eliminated about 450,000 public sector jobs in the past few years.

Why are you conservatives complaining about weak job growth?

They're all military personnel, imbecile.

Can't liberals be honest about anything?

If they are in fact sitting on that kind of money with the current workforce, what motivation is there for them to hire?

 

[Katzndogz]

Business will not engage in significant hiring until the economy has stabilized and they have some idea of what the future will be. Which means, when obama is out of office.

Tax cuts won't induce business to hire because business people can read. They know that the tax cut is small and temporary. The tax cuts will be followed by permanent massive increases.

Do people in the military work in the private sector or the public sector?

How is possible that I would have to explain to someone that a job in the military is a government job?

Oh, it's possible because that someone is a conservative, with the typical brain of a conservative.

 

[motownron]

Its not even cute or funny anymore this is the stupidest idea on the board. A total lack of basic math or understanding that we already can't sustain our government.

The reason I put this line in there:

was because I said to myself, if I don't explain it explicitly, some idiot will come in and say what you said, but,

I thought, if I put that in there, no one will be stupid enough to still post that.

Well, once again I underestimated the stupidity of USMB wingnuts.

They don't stimulate the economy? Then why do even conservatives throw fits about losing jobs when anyone talks about cutting military spending,

closing bases, cutting back on defense contracts?????

 

[Wiseacre]

I think the truth is that the loss of public sector jobs that account for most of the decline is because states, counties, and cities have had to reduce their current workforce so they can meet their pension and HC obligations to the public sector unions. They won't hire very many new employees if we were to bail them out with a big new spending bill, they'll use most of it to cover their debts.

There's a squeeze going on, state and local gov'ts are going to have to come to grips with those obligations somehow, funneling more money to them will merely postpone the problem. That's one reason why the last stimulus bill wasn't as effective as it could've been, it didn't really go to hiring new people and creating new shovel ready projects and jobs.
