I have seen that the US government is now talking about creating jobs. Is this what they mean?

The US government does no create jobs by getting larger. Entrepreneurs and the private sector create jobs. Innovation creates jobs. Many of the people on this board (those who aren't surfers) have probably created more work in the USA than
Obama ever has or ever will.

I am not going to be sucked into the hysterical horse shit about Obama being a communist etc, but I cringe every time I hear anyone from the government talking about 'creating' jobs. If there is one thing we learned in the 20th century, its that government intervention in the economy leads to inefficiencies, and inefficiency leads to poverty.
