The jobs emergency
Salon.com ^ | 8/9/2010 | Robert Reich

Washington’s latest answer to the worst jobs crisis since the Great Depression is $26 billion in aid to state and local governments. [Blah blah blah blah... Don't bother reading the rest of this tripe. We're talking about Robert Reich-sha, after all].

The ruling class just wants bigger government and more spending that we cannot afford and getting nothing for it. They have spent, since Democrats took power in 2007, over $1.5 TRILLION dollars in "stimulus" and we got nothing for it. They killed our economy. They pushed Humpty Dumpty over the wall and now they cannot put the stupid egg back together again.

Now they're getting desperate. Spend spend spend spend. It's all they know.

Here's how you fix the economy. One, throw the credit crazy Democrats out of office, and chuck a few RINOs with them. Two, cut taxes and reduce the size of government.

Ronald Reagan did it and it worked. Cutting taxes and the size of government works every time it is tried. Big government and big spending (along with its big debt) has never worked, ever.

Federal regulations (EPA, FDA, OSHA, 0bamacare, etc.) are bad enough, but local (e.g. zoning, nieghborhood associations) and state regulations are job killers on an even larger scale. Too much focus on the federal nightmare will miss the local problems.

In the meantime, make your own job by going onto www.craigslist.org (click on the Services option). There you’ll see hundreds of ways that people are making money off the grib, without holding down jobs.

Might give you or someone you know a helpful hint...

“...local (e.g. zoning, nieghborhood associations) and state regulations are job killers on an even larger scale.”

You are absolutely correct. We’ll only survive this crisis if we get all these petty potentates off our backs. We’ll have to be able to use our own property however we must.

Democrats don't know how to create jobs. They only know how to create work.

It's funny how the big stuff takes care of itself.

We are watching the collapse of governments from their debt.

There ain't gonna be any government left because there ain't gonna be any money.

A complete economic collapse is coming.

That should pretty much take care of the government problem.

Only thing the government can do to facilitate job creation is to get out of the way.

Unfortunately, that's the thing government is worst at.
