It Is Government Spending That Creates Jobs???

George,

Remember high school and college "Debate Class!" They would randomly assign a subject and just as randomly decided if you were to speak for or against the subject. The student debater would be given time to research the topic then speak to the subject.

It didn’t matter how you felt. You spoke the company line. There is more to this, but you get the idea. This evil will say anything to win. These liberals expound the absurd while hiding their true movotation and salivating like a mad xanthippe.

We can’t forget their audience! The direct themselves to the gullible, the ignorant and the stupid!

All I know is if I keep spending more than I have coming in I loose everything. There is the answer. However if we could think like the government it would be great for us to just vote on a debt ceiling increase for our clients! Despite what underwriters want. I know I would close more deals if they would!

George -- you forgot that you live and work in the real world, and he is tied up in ivy covered halls of academia or the governmental fog of DC.  Believe Jay Markanich would have some wonderful things to say about this.

George... I am pleased that someone at AR saw fit to give you a Feature on this post... I too am speechless and totally perplexed about the fact that American people have elected these politicians...  I am sad to say that I believe the USA is totally on the decline and I'm not sure how we can stop it...

Thanks for a great post and have a Happy Day... Beth

Of course government spending increases jobs.  If a road needs to be built, the government gives a contractor money, which in turn goes towards a payroll.  The contractor signs the paychecks that goes to the workers.  If the government goes to war, jobs are created to build the material needed tfor that war.  Best part is the government takes 25% (or thereabouts) from each dollar earned in taxes.  The workers then sspend money on houses, at the local furniture store or restaurant or computer store, etc.  Thus, a dollar moves through the economy, getting taxed along the way, of course.

Anyone who doubts that government spending does much outside of putting/keeping more money in the pockets of politicians, lobbyists, overpaid government workers, political contributors and people in & around the DC area needs to watch Sean Hannity's special "Boomtown".  If the government were run like a private company, we wouldn't have the out of control spending and deficit we have.

Wake up everyone! The government wants to conrtol you & everyone & there is no better way than to bankrupt the economy. READ your history. Hitler printed more money, got your guns, & burned the Reichstag & blamed his own citizens the Jews who he wanted to get rid of alon with the Catholics. Where did Hitler get his MONEY. Americans are the perfect target to be taken over. Jim

Nobel Peace prize winners say more government spending the better for jobs and economy. I laugh, then become sober because the main stream media promotes this nonsense and the public who doesn't know much about economics, finance or world history, believe the garbage and lies. Folks need to educate themselves and not on tv. Jimmy #21 above has got it right: Read and study your world history. Learn economics. Don't listen to Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan who says people don't need to know how banking works because it's "too complicated." Nothing is too complicated to learn and study if folks want to take the time to and not shut out the bad news -- especially banking, it's not rocket science and it's not that complicated.

Starting a political discussion on active Rain. Dangerous? I'm sure there are those that would disagree with you but before we start casting blame about whose doing all the spending let's make sure we have all the facts. Great post to raise awareness and maybe get folks to research and understand how the great experiment has failed.

Good Evening, George!! It just makes you want to pull your hair out, doesn't it! :))))

George, that is just another way to describe 'pork barrel legislation' and politicians just love adding dollars to satisfy their home interests. Most of those dollars just go on to fill up already stuffed pockets.

George -- When conversation and news coverage about Mrs. Obama's bangs takes priority over trying to figure out how to get this country out of the mess it's in, the problems are NEVER going to be solved.

George, It's more "smoke and mirrors" that they are trying to create to help cover up the "smoke and mirrors" they already used to get us into this deep financial mess.

George - Imagine if we could just print money or get it off the money tree and didn't have to conform our spending to our income.

Maybe we'll all end up working for the government ??????????????????????????????????
