How to create one million jobs

[LifeDontWasteIt]

I don't care if it was to create jobs. Do you know anyone who has starved in America? Even if they move around and can't get benefits? A guy thought I worked at the Salvation Army Thrift store (I was in on my work break shopping!), and asked for a voucher for a pair of pants he was homeless (came from the local shelter). I'm not real wealthy or anything (I shop there myself!) but I bought him 2 pants and 2 shirts. Why? Because God said if someone asks of you... go 2, NOT because of the gov't.

To quit being republican:

1. Take off pants

2. Squat

3. Remove stick from ass

At least someone's reporting on the spending WITHOUT a political agenda. I'm so tired of dems and repubs hating on each other. Creating political theater...

@recklessprocess World War II effectively ended the Great Depression. Civilian unemployment was reduced from 14% in 1940 to less than 2% in 1943 as a result of the massive war spending.

I'm not saying that going to war will save our economy (in fact, I think war should be avoided if possible). My point is that spending CAN stimulate economic growth. That's a historical example.

@sklkd93 War always creates debt. The Government CANNOT create jobs!

[recklessprocess]

Government spending cannot create economic growth.

[sklkd93]

Also, your organization is making a MASSIVE oversimplification of economics. For one thing, you claim that the transitive property proves that cutting spending will create jobs. You're a dumbass. Cutting spending will lose jobs in the sectors that you are cutting from. Assuming that the result of the spending cuts will automatically offset these losses is just plain dumbassery.

[sklkd93]

Most of this stuff is WAY out of context. For example, at :47, they go on a spiel about how much job loss 15 million unemployed is. As you stated at :36 however, the unemployment rate went from 13 million to 15 million. We didn't lose 15 million jobs. We lost 2 million. Another example: We had a debt of about 80% BEFORE the recession. That's only 1/10 of your claimed figure.

@sklkd93 she didnt really say that we lost 15 million jobs, she just showed how much 15 million is, right?

Ramzpaul points out that our government is training people in SRI LANKA to take American jobs!

You don't need some "Reinhart" character to tell you the danger of debt - this was known from the beginning - look up "Secret of Oz" - well worth the watch here at youtube.

Here's the government plan.

1. Put on your blindfold.

2. Bend over.

3.  Let us do the rest.

[meyerd2]

I completely agree with the advice, I think that cutting the spending makes sense but there is a logical problem here. After applying the transitive property they just reverse the direction of the arrows. Too much spending lowers the number of jobs does not imply that cutting spending guarantees the jobs come back. You easily make an argument they cost us jobs, but this is not a plan to get 1 million jobs back

Amen !

This November it is time to vote for only those with true common sense and understanding of the U.S. Constitution.

@quizerry

Time to vote for some *cough* honest *cough* republicans...I can't wait, YEE HAW!!!!

[trekkerperson]

Govt spending only prolongs the inevitable and makes the day of reckoning that much harder. The sooner we cut spending, the better the long term. Keynes is dead and we are living in the long run...
