You are unemployed and want a new job, under a Democratic president you have a better chance of getting one!

[Delldude]

How many of those are bureaucrats and gubmint contractors?

Government jobs always seem like they explode under dems.

Government jobs always seem like they explode under dems.

Really? Where are all of these new government jobs? However, the government often provides more job security, good pay with benefits.

 

[Delldude]

Really? Where are all of these new government jobs? However, the government often provides more job security, good pay with benefits.

At our expense.

 

[TruthNotBS]

At our expense.

Not at all, especially when those government workers are employed by a publicly owned company. The profits of the company, of that whole industry pay the salaries. What do you think will happen when people are getting paid a living wage and have job security? They purchase more goods and services from capitalists. The government workers are also paying your salary, whenever they purchase something from your employer. How about that?

It all depends on how you look at it. The more people are working and earning good wages, the more goods and services they're purchasing, stimulating the economy. Finally, don't government workers also pay taxes? They pay taxes like everyone else. Are they paying each other's salaries? Food for thought.

 

[Delldude]

Not at all, especially when those government workers are employed by a publicly owned company.

Paid with government contracts..................duh.

 

[TruthNotBS]

Paid with government contracts..................duh.

So what? Many who work for private business enterprises are paid through government contracts as well. Duh. Government workers can also get paid from the profits of publicly owned enterprises. The point is that everyone, whether working for the private or public sector is producing goods and services and purchasing them in the market. Everyone contributes to each other's salaries whenever we make a purchase and produce products and services.

Capitalism makes its profits private and its losses public, forcing society to bail them out.

You ignored every point I made, but others won't. Continue in your ignorance.

A government creating huge, new bureaucracies, spinning off contracts and creating jobs that usually have direct impact on their donors pocket books.

A government creating huge, new bureaucracies, spinning off contracts and creating jobs that usually have direct impact on their donors pocket books.

The private sector is even more bureaucratic and forces us to bail them out and subsidize their businesses:

Cronyism is endemic to capitalism unless you have a strong nationalist, socialist government that puts capitalists in their proper place (as well as politicians who hold office for the wrong reasons). The federal government is the exclusive issuer of the USD, hence it doesn't need taxes to provide it with dollars. As long as GDP is maintained high, the federal government doesn't have a problem funding itself, by typing amounts on a computer at the FED.

The government can employ everyone who is currently unemployed and pay them a good salary with benefits, without relying primarily on taxes. A market economy is based on production/labor/wages, and demand (paying customers).

That's false, capitalism is much worse than socialism, hands down:

You have no moral high ground upon which to stand and point your crooked, feculent finger at socialists.

Really? Where are all of these new government jobs? However, the government often provides more job security, good pay with benefits.

Government job's are targeted by those whom seek to inflict change through government forcible power, and that is why we are seeing what we are seeing in this nation today. Yes I believe that the Democrat's have been targeting government job's and power in hopes to overthrow the nation's old traditions, and this be it if they are good or bad traditions. Democrat's have to tear everything down, because in order to implement their total agenda, then everything has to be transformed in their ways of thinking.

So what is the ultimate goals of the modern day Democrat ? We have seen a horrid preview of it all so far, but will anyone be able to get along with them in the end ?

You speak gobbledygook. People are employed by the government because they are paid well, with benefits, and have better job security than most workers in the private sector. Your conspiracy theory about government workers wanting to control others is silly.

So intellectually out of sinc now. You have brought yourself to your own Joe Biden missteps, but it was obvious it was coming. Try harder or do better.

I'm always confident that I struck a nerve with you when you resort too or use your goobledygook line...

Government job's are definitely targeted by those who want to change government from within, and it has absolutely nothing to do with security or benefits by way of private sector verses government sector job's.

There is no comparison when it comes to the private sector job's wealth possibilities, otherwise that can be obtained through the private sector's verses the average government job's in which usually are way more undesirable whenever comparing the two.

When it comes to pay and benefits earned, the private sector has always been the desired target for the majority in this country after highschool or college. FACT !!

The Democrat's are trying to break the private sector or rather bring it in line with government employment in hopes to swell government above and beyond private sector desirability, and this is for reason's of gaining more control over the people of this country for very ominus reasoning. For this reason Government has become a target by those seeking to get elected or hired for the purpose of abusing it's power for nefarious reasoning or over the agendas being sought after.

Not only do you spew gobbledygook, but you're delusional too.

Not at all, especially when those government workers are employed by a publicly owned company. The profits of the company, of that whole industry pay the salaries. What do you think will happen when people are getting paid a living wage and have job security? They purchase more goods and services from capitalists. The government workers are also paying your salary, whenever they purchase something from your employer. How about that?

More broken window fallacy.

The money paid to those publicly owned companies still comes out of the pocket of the taxpayer in the first place...Money that they could spend on value-added products in the economy.

It all depends on how you look at it. The more people are working and earning good wages, the more goods and services they're purchasing, stimulating the economy. Finally, don't government workers also pay taxes? They pay taxes like everyone else. Are they paying each other's salaries? Food for thought.
