Why isn't the US Government creating MORE JOBS?
Probably, the answer is in the video below

It's the skill set that is lacking.

Nice over simplified and propoganda video.
The simple fact of the situation is that the tech sector is destroying jobs faster than they can be replaced. Just look at the difference between Google and General Motors. Google employs world wide a total 44,78 K full time (and part time) employees. But General Motors employs 212,000 full time employees. (estimated 310,000 with part time according to one source) Progress is
Progress is not I-shit, Google, Facebook or any other garbage such as that. Steeve Jobs was a scum bag that was worth more than $7 billion and he made it publically known that he hated charity and had no intention of bringing back the jobs he sent to China's Foxxcon factory. In a world of true progress this man shares the same collective public opinion as that of Musolini instead of being worshipped like some sort of demi-god (Worshipped as the video you posted attempted to make us do) http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...ercenters.html |
more jobs, thats easy!
Insted of putting loads of people in jail for minor offences they should have made work camps, that would give people a new meaning to life maybe not for all but for most part of the prisoners. I am sure many would love a second chance to get an education or learn a skill, there is no life just to sit inside a jailcell and look at the walls that surrounds you.
In the very end the US Gov will benefit from all hard work it would be to get this going, cause a skilled person would much easier get work than a ex con that has not done anything than feed his hate of the system. I am not an american but i am sure most people would not disagree.:pimp |
I do not recall at any point agreeing to give tax dollars to the government for "job creation".

So I will tell all of the young people that if want progress and change. You take it to the streets and not in a stupid "occupy wall street" kind of way. Because the Internet and Facebook not only will NOT help you but they Certainly WILL STOP YOU. Today's gouvernemnts and corporations can use these so-called-tools to manipulate and control the population like never before. Just look around at all the wars, financial crises and racism and understand that if even a small fraction of what is happening today happened in the 1960s there would have been a full blown revolution. Therefore go to the streets and start by

Government only creates government jobs. And that are one of the biggest groups responsible for laid off employees over the last 8 years.
They help create jobs by assisting companies with lower taxes for hiring and things like that. |
The US government's isn't creating jobs right now because the US government is shut down because the Republicans don't want anyone to have healthcare benefits.

Government funded Unions are also an issue when talking about jobs.
As technology advances, there are going to be less "labor" jobs. Machines are taking over, just look at assembly lines. |

In the near future, you're not going to have enough good paying jobs, food, water to sustain life. That's when things will really get spicy as people will be fighting for their very survival versus over the latest iPhone. :disgust |

The people who built the interstate highways were paid by the government (directly or indirectly) as were the ones who built the bridges and so on. The conventional wisdom is that the infrastructure in this country is falling apart. Putting people to work repairing and upgrading all of the above seems like a no brainer to me. But hey, what do I know I just make spanking videos. Quote:
Now on the other hand if the economy collapses yet again because of the current budget impasse, the blame will sit entirely upon the government. Quote:

Agree with the video.
The bigger the gov't gets, the more it will saddle down the world economic output. It's basic re-distribution. You take from the efficient and give to the less efficient. While it's good-hearted and there needs to be a safety net for the extreme, it also promotes and subsidizes inefficiency. While the free market needs to be monitored, the government doesn't do anything that well. Everyone should be for a smaller government, not a bigger one. A bigger government simply means more corruption, more bureacracy, less efficiency, etc. Contrary to popular belief, the government can't fix your personal problems. We'll see what everyone thinks of the government in 10-20 years when more municipalities go broke, and the good faith of the government is long gone with the printing presses of $$ turned on. And as the gov't gets bigger, the divide between the poor and rich get wider, because the super rich control government. |
I see mostly low paying service type jobs being created. Technology is allowing businesses to trim expenses and the biggest expenses most have is the employee. The average American is fucked.

So the argument is, if taxes were lower, people would buy more burgers, they'd be more prone to eat out, etc. Your example is specific, but think about it in terms of the entire economy. You want $$$ IN the system. You don't want it OUT of the system. When the gov't raises taxes, money goes OUT of the system, and then re-enters the system who the fuck knows how, at that point its prime for corruption. The guy who owns a burger joint for example isn't getting a subsidy to run his business. But the guy who has hookups with the politicians is. Raising taxes takes money away from the people making the way in the world on their own, what I like to call "givers" and the gov't gives that $$ to a variety of people, like net "takers." There's both good and bad to this, but in the long run, this is a bad thing. The good is all the anecdotal shit you hear about people having a hard time getting assistance. The bad is, in a cut throat world, those people aren't contributing anything economically speaking to the growth of the world, and you are taking it away from people who are. To put it simply, you are taking froma productive "Peter" and giving it to pay for an unproductive "Paul." The bigger the government gets, the more this happens. Oh, and the super rich, they continue to game politics for themselves. We should be eliminating and making government smaller. The best charity a person can give, is a job. When a gov't takes $ away in the form of higher taxes, it hurts GDP growth, it hurts job creation, it matters. This is fact. It's called fiscal policy. Lower taxes help create a better business environment, just as lower interest rates do (monetary policy). The questions aren't if they help or hurt, the questions really rely upon how much they help/hurt. Some people argue a lot, others argue not a lot. |

why should the government be responsible for creating jobs? you think a job should be supplied to you? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
everyone is consistently crying about how there are no jobs available, yet I always see companies hiring... oh wait, those people don't want to actually EARN a position in a company, they want to sit behind a desk and earn a half decent wage because they BELIEVE they entitled to it. the biggest problem with our society, IMO, is the push on cheap goods. You want to continue to buy shit at razor thin margins, then companies have to offshore their development to China where people work for $.18/hr. same with those people who complain about auto manufacturers who build cars in Mexico or overseas... if they were all done here in the states, could you afford to spend 20% or more? |

A century later The Thirty Years War reduced central Europe's population by half. And then of course we have WWI and WWII that together killed nearly a hundred million people. Were it not for modern medicine and the nearly universal fear of Nuclear Armageddon the same sort of things would be going on now. Quote:

Government funding of jobs to make useful repairs or create new infrastructure that would benefit businesses and/or citizens directly is worthwhile. |

Emmet and I were never what I would consider to be "friends." My connection to him was through Louise his wife, we both grew up in Saguenay not far to each other. What I will say about Emmitt is my impression of him. He was a very complicated man that appeared to be always looking for something. He seemed to be very emotionally dependant and was always saying crazy things to get people to like him. Quote:
Then what is the point in giving them you hard earned money? Afterall they certainly have enough money to build bombs and defend the interests of disloyal corporations like Mansanto that destroy our food and toxify the enviroment or Google and Facebook that spy on us. Personally I would prefer that a gouverment give a homeless person a place to live, help a druggie stop using drugs or create apprentiship programs for our young adults instead spending millions building bunker busters and fighter planes. |

For the millionth time, over turning citizens united and reforming campaign finance will go a long way to fixing things....

Govt can create jobs
Technology can be good. Even before pagers, faxes & cell phones, it was estimated that every person in the USA would have to be a phone operator, the way phone usage exploded in the 1960's. But when the dial phone came along, people were screaming it would cause massive unemployment. It didn't.
Government can create jobs, as was done in The Depression. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) put men to work building dams, parks and schools. Most of these beautiful projects are still standing. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) put men to work, on soil and water conservation projects, such as planting tree rows to keep farm soil from blowing away, during the drought of the early 1930's. Government doesn't have to be the employer. They can finance projects, the way they financed the transcontinental railways. They tried to do that now, with high speed rail. But the governors, of several Republican states, refused the money. The government should have just gone straight to the rail companies. Would have saved a layer of state bureaucracy. |

And we must all remember, if it wasnt for government funding there would be no internet.The private sector had no interest in funding the creation of the web. |

Taxes as a percent of GDP is high relative to history. I just googled it, both overall, and corporate profits are as high as they have ever been (http://www.epi.org/publication/ib364...onomic-growth/) Maybe you can explain why Apple + everyone else is stock piling cash overseas? Has nothing to do with taxes, right? 100B and counting for Apple alone. |
Look at this interesting text.
