The case can be made that certain of the politicians’ efforts to improve the economy, and thus maintain power, have actually contributed to the continuing doldrums. And then there’s Obama.....

[central_va]

Even the Republicans don’t talk about tax cuts anymore. The MSM and the Demonic Party own them. Just like the Globetrotters own the Generals...

They can fix the problem if they have the will to fix the problem.

It means major regulatory and tax reform.

The only way job creation will get started again is if govt steps out of the way.

Can Politicians Fix The Problem?

Is this a trick question?

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Neither party is creating American jobs.

Bring back jobs, and bring jobs back to America.

Jobs have been exported to China now for an entire generation.

China. A massive, communist nation, now exports more than America, and is rapidly growing.

Bring back AMERICAN jobs. Now.

Our government seldom rescinds a law or regulation because they are made by lawyers for lawyers. Instead to fix something they add more laws and regulations and make things worse for us but better for them, the lawyers. A lawyer making a law or regulation has an automatic conflict of interest.

[BitWielder1]

Yes. By stepping aside.
If they stop trying to fix it, it has a good chance of fixing itself.

Dave Stockman’s book (which is extremely depressing) says the number of true “breadwinner” jobs in the US peaked in 1998 and continues to decline.

I think he’s right.

[G Larry]

Yes!

Get the Federal Gov’t the hell out of the way.

Shut down the intrusive regulatory agencies.

Stand up and tell the public that 90% of the budget EPA does NOTHING for clean air and water. It’s all about shutting down energy production, industry, and our economy.

[TruthWillWin]

Fix the problem? Politicians are the problem!

[MortMan]

The headline is kind of like asking “The bathtub is filled with water. Can the drain plug fix the problem if we leave it where it is?”

[blueunicorn6]

Not as long as they can shuffle money around and borrow money.

[Mastador1]

Job growth is stalled? The article makes it seem like this is a new phenomenon, it has been happening for over five years. The only way they ever show a reduction in unemployment is by throwing away all the people who have given up or been dumped off unemployment due to benefits running out. The only thing demonrats are good at is destroying business and jobs, oh and sowing racial division.

[Dead Corpse]

The only thing politicians can do at this point to help the job markets would be to get government out of the way...

This is anathema to both Parties, so instead they’ll try to be SEEN to be doing SOMETHING the results of which they know damn well they’ll never be held to account for.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

[bmwcyle]

We’re on a sinking ship and people are drilling more holes.

[MasterGunner01]

The real question is: can the politicians responsible for the laws and regulations that have given us an economic depression be trusted to “fix” the problem THEY CAUSED?

Two words: Hell, NO!

Fire the incompetent political hacks and eliminate all the job killing rules, regulations, and laws the Donkeys and GOPee Establishment have put into place. How about tarring, feathering these corrupt hacks, and ride them out of town on a rail? Or, employ a tree, a rope, assembly required, and repeat.

[TruthFactor]

Politians are the problem. We need a leader of heroic proportions. Under the guize of civil rights the marxists have destroyed our Republic..
