In the debate of job creation and how best to pursue it as a policy goal, one point is forgotten: Government doesn't create jobs. Government only diverts resources from one use to another, which doesn't create new employment.

Your post is nonsensical and almost unworthy of reply. All i'll say is that communist/socialist policies sound nice, but are predictably unsustainable and history has shown us that Marxism basically levels an economy to the ground.
The people may be equal, but they all end up equally miserable and dominated by a powerful [yet oh so self-righteous] government. The living standards of the lower classes in free market societies are superior to those of the working classes with socialism.

@coryland21 No you dolt, lobbyists want MORE government spending! Why? So that the industry they're lobbying on behalf of gets federal funding and/or special treatment and they only have to kick back a portion of the money they make to the politician's campaign funds.

@coryland21 Ad hominem arguments don't work on people worth convincing. Please use a plausible form of argument.
