New Jobs Bill - Help for the Unemployed (Not)

Why are we doing another jobs bill? Last year a $154 billion bill was passed. It hasn't made a bit of difference. Now, we are doing it again with a bill of only$15 billion. I guess that means less is more? I thought if a lot did little then a little will do less.

Once again, job seekers will read about the bill and get optimistic their situation will change. The President and Congress have done it again. They are playing on the hopes and fears of the people to spend more money they don't have. What is the saying, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." Who is fooling who?

Elementary economics taught to freshmen is that job creation is a result of savings and investing. Who is foolish enough to believe that taking tax dollars from some one's pocket and printing money to spend will create a job. The only job it creates is for the printer and the IRS. If they are government jobs they are not producing any goods or services that are paid for by a buyer and a profit is made to be reinvested. Did the WPA work during the Depression? No. Why is the government foolish enough now to think it will work now? For that matter why would they think any of the policies started by Hoover, adopted by Roosevelt and advanced by him would work when they prolonged the Depression? We are going down that very same path. I thought we were supposed to learn from history?

Let's stop the nonsense. Let's tell the emperor we actually know he doesn't have any clothes on. We were just being polite and his cronies are just yes men (and women).

Let's help the unemployed in real terms. Let's have a sound monetary and fiscal policy that takes the power to regulate interest rates and puts it where it works best, in the market place. Let's stop propping up bad businesses and let their assets go to companies that are well managed and wants to buy them with real money. Then the workers can go to work with an ease of mind. Let's stop the printing presses so our money does not devalue. Finally, let's stop spending money we don't have so we don't have to continue to sell the country to China tomorrow.

All of that would help those unemployed by allowing for real job creation not smoke and mirrors. Then the unemployed would consist of former politicians and bad business managers.

Wow, glad I got that off my chest. Seriously, this is what it takes. Career Talk Guys know what we offer helps individuals in good and bad economic times .
