Why does the left think the government can create jobs?

[JRK]

When the US Govt takes 1 trillion dollars of our wealth to "create a job" as Obama did, then all they have done is take 1 trillion dollars (really about 800 billion) of our wealth and re distributed it
It is wealth destruction is all it is

the private sector with the right conditions can create real jobs. How many jobs would that same 800 billion create in the private sector If the those who really pay taxes were allowed to keep that wealth?
What we purchase with that wealth would create work and we would get too keep the end product, instead of it becoming part of Obama's re-election campaign fund
That is real trickle down economics made simple. Allow the tax payer to keep more of his wealth, show him you can be trusted and watch him use it to grow the economy

Hmmmm.....seems to me that we have been engaged in "Trickle Down Economics" since the Reagan years. Bush pushed MASSIVE tax cuts through Congress and Obama has continued those tax cuts. And if it really worked there would be more than enough jobs to go around right now, right?

But the sad fact is that "Trickle Down Ecnomics" has been and is a FAILED policy. It didn't work and won't work. Even Reagan's Budget Director David Stockman called it a "Trojan Horse".

I'm shock that anyone would still advocate cutting even MORE taxes on the wealthy in the name of "job creation" when it clearly has not worked.

How would you propose to fix our roads and bridges if not from using taxpayer money to fund the projects?

AND, question 2,

does funding infrastructure improvement not only CREATE JOBS, but does it not also ADD VALUE to the economy?

Nope. Didn't work.

The economy grew faster and created more jobs in the 1990s when tax rates on top earners were considerably higher than it did after the Bush tax cuts. And both before and after those cuts, the after-tax income gains for the top two tax brackets dwarfed those for all other income groups. In other words, the income growth at the top did not trickle down into income growth for everybody else.

answer to the Op , because its an historic fact

 

[WatertheTree]

The older I get the more convinced I am that liberal viewpoints stem from the ignorance and false understanding of where the money comes from to pay for all the nice programs that they want.

Liberalism is a big problem in this country, half of the people with liberal mindset thinks the government has unlimited funds, its this mentality that has caused our debt.

Well im here to tell the libbs that government doesnt have unlimited funds, and who pays for those programs is the middle class, along with everything else. And we are sick and tired of forking over our lives so you can be a bunch of lazy do nothings with your hands out.

Why did the GOP?

The politicians used to care about unemployment. At least, they gave it lip service in their speeches. But they don’t even do that any more. Before Republicans took control of the House in January, Republican leader John Boehner taunted the Democrats every day with his challenge: “Where are the jobs, Mr. President?” But since the Republicans began to share responsibility for the government, he’s dropped any pretense that he’s worried about jobs.

Where are the jobs, Mr. President, Mr. Speaker? - Rex Nutting - MarketWatch

How is that whole GOP idea of extending the Bush tax cuts to the rich, I mean "job creators" working out, by the way?

Even better, after 3 years of increased govt stimulus spending where is our total jobs number and unemployment percentage at? Worse than they were when we started stimulus spending by the govt to try and create jobs.

Its obvious, from the numbers, that it did not work.

Of course that happened over night. RR had nothing to do with that, neither did the .com bubble
You got 40 million jobs staring you right in the face in the private sector form 1980 and your trying to convince people that a small tax increase in the 90s is the reason why?

because some states have shitty governments that dont take care of the people..

Teachers have real jobs

Police have real jobs.

The facts are that government has always created jobs

look at the policies and what they did to jo growth atarting with RR

You can also clearly see when the GOP took congress in the 90s an 00s

Nope. Didn't work.

The economy grew faster and created more jobs in the 1990s when tax rates on top earners were considerably higher than it did after the Bush tax cuts. And both before and after those cuts, the after-tax income gains for the top two tax brackets dwarfed those for all other income groups. In other words, the income growth at the top did not trickle down into income growth for everybody else.

No Evidence of 'Trickle Down' Job Creation - Room for Debate - NYTimes.com

Of course that happened over night. RR had nothing to do with that, neither did the .com bubble
You got 40 million jobs staring you right in the face in the private sector form 1980 and your trying to convince people that a small tax increase in the 90s is the reason why?


You have that right

It was the small tax increase, coupled with infrastructure rebuilding (roads and bridges), coupled with investment in new technology (internet), coupled with a smart opening up of new emerging markets (NAFTA), coupled with money given to states to train workers for the new high tech jobs. That's why Clinton was a success. Ronald Reagan's economy needed bailout after bailout.

Seems that went down the memory hole.

When the US Govt takes 1 trillion dollars of our wealth to "create a job" as Obama did, then all they have done is take 1 trillion dollars (really about 800 billion) of our wealth and re distributed it
It is wealth destruction is all it is

the private sector with the right conditions can create real jobs. How many jobs would that same 800 billion create in the private sector If the those who really pay taxes were allowed to keep that wealth?
What we purchase with that wealth would create work and we would get too keep the end product, instead of it becoming part of Obama's re-election campaign fund
That is real trickle down economics made simple. Allow the tax payer to keep more of his wealth, show him you can be trusted and watch him use it to grow the economy

"Trickle Down Economics" is just Keynsian Demand-Stimulus economics for Corporatists--there is really no functional economic difference between "trickling down" between one source of the "trickle" or another: demand always necessarily exists (the same cannot be said for supply, however), and abuse of Demand-Stimulus just saturates the demand side of a market that has insufficient supply to meet such an artificially robust demand--the inevitable result is serially perverse boom cycles.

None of this, of course, is news.

Why did the GOP?

The politicians used to care about unemployment. At least, they gave it lip service in their speeches. But they don’t even do that any more. Before Republicans took control of the House in January, Republican leader John Boehner taunted the Democrats every day with his challenge: “Where are the jobs, Mr. President?” But since the Republicans began to share responsibility for the government, he’s dropped any pretense that he’s worried about jobs.

Where are the jobs, Mr. President, Mr. Speaker? - Rex Nutting - MarketWatch

How is that whole GOP idea of extending the Bush tax cuts to the rich, I mean "job creators" working out, by the way?

Nonfarm payroll employment edged up by 103,000 in September, and the unemployment rate held at 9.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The increase in employment partially reflected the return to payrolls of about 45,000 telecommunications workers who had been on strike in August. In September, job gains occurred in professional and business services, health care, and construction. Government employment continued to trend down.
U.S. Employment Situation Report for September (Text) - Bloomberg

What does the collapse of the housing sector, closing many areas within the fossil fuel sector, Obama-care, threat of rasing taxes on the "rich", and lets throw in the EPA have to do with GWB tax cuts?
and all I remember the GOP who got elected in the house caimpaing on was stopping the Obama train
Good Job to date

And the one percent loves that boom and bust cycle which is why the got Glass steagal killed.

Wealth destruction? You want to see real wealth destruction, study history. Every time a government falls apart, wealth goes with it.

What is it you think is going on today?
Teachers and there jobs is a local issue, why the federal govt. got involved in it I have no idea

So teaching jobs aren't government jobs? They aren't jobs CREATED by the government?

The entire public school system consists of jobs created by the government AND education is one of the single most important components of ADDING VALUE to the economy.

So dispute that.
