I have to wonder what he thinks governments role in general and the presidents role in particular IS... when it comes to job creation given what he just “hinted at” with his comparison of himself and Dr Carson
It appears he was hyping HIS ability to create jobs as a Presidential Skill which it is not.
No, but the President “hires” the Treasury Secretary and economic advisors who set economic policies and lobby Congress for legislation, Labor Secretary (who oversees the NLRB) who sets labor rules (or removes them), EPA Secretary who sets environmental policies (or removes restrictions), appoints federal and SCOTUS judges who rules (for better or for worse) on cases that may affect labor rules, appoints the Federal Reserve Chief, etc., etc. It is definitely not necessary, but I thin someone who has been successful in business, especially in periods of time when there were less regulations and government restrictions, that would know that government’s job is to stay the hell out of the way. Trump has that experience. Carson, though a good man and a genius doctor, does not. If you don’t like Trump, that’s fine, but you can’t ignore his knowledge and experience in capitalism and free market enterprise as opposed to Carson’s lack of experience, or even Obama or perhaps a President Sanders who is an avowed Socialist.
“It appears he was hyping HIS ability to create jobs as a Presidential Skill which it is not.”
Obama will not approve the Canadian pipeline. Trump will. Obama prevents jobs from being created. Trump will make sure jobs are created. Policy decisions matter.
Understanding how jobs are created is knowledge Obama does not possess. We need a President who understands job and wealth creation or the US economy will never recover.
I believe what he’s saying is that he knows how to stimulate business because he knows what works to make a business grow. Therefore there will be job growth.
