Today, House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) delivered remarks on the House Floor on the Republican economic plan to create more than 6 million American jobs.
Where do you think money comes from? When a government job is created, how is it paid for? Money is taken out of the economy through business taxation and income taxation to pay for that job or program. What effect does that have? Job loss! With all the unrealistic benefits and low productivity of government jobs, it costs our country many jobs to support every single government job created. A net LOSS of jobs. Just this once, put your politics aside and think about the consequences.
The government could do much more to create jobs at ZERO cost if it was willing to reduce it's own size. The vast majority of government jobs are unnecessary. Every government job that exists sucks wealth out of our industries and thus prevents many jobs from existing in the private sector. Someone needs to stop this insanity.
My God stme2008--- that's the most provactive and intelligent argument that I've heard for the stimulus. You should consider applying as Nancy Pelosi's spokesperson.
