Shonda needs to learn a little bit about economics before engaging her pie hole. It would take three people to get her going in the right direction: One to buy her Hayek’s “The Road to Serfdom.” A second person to read it to her. And a third to explain it to her.
my two cents here...
THE GOVERNMENT ONLY CREATES PUBLIC-SECTOR JOBS! THIS IS WHAT GETS LOST IN THE MALAISE. EVEN THOUGH PRIVATE COMPANIES MIGHT BE HIRED TO A JOB I.E STATE ROAD CONSTRUCTION DO YOU NOT THINK THAT THE PUBLIC SECTOR WOULD WANT SOME SORT OF KICK-BACK? I DO. THE GOVERNMENT CREATES WAITING LINES! THERE IS NO PROFIT MOTIVE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR. THAT’S WHY YOU HAVE LAZY CITY WORKERS AND 1-HR WAITS AT YOUR LOCAL DMV FOR SOMETHING SO SIMPLE AS A STICKER RENEAWL! THEY’RE ALL GOING TO GET YOUR TAX DOLLARS ANYWAY,SO WHAT THE HELL DO THEY CARE! THEY WON’T GET FIRED BECAUSE OF THE UNION. THE GOVERNMENT CREATES NOTHING BUT A MESS. WE NEED TO LET THE FREE MARKET WORK! THE BAILOUT PUT US IN AND PROLONGED THIS DEPRESSION/RECESSION. CAPTIALISM ALWAYS EXPANDS AND RETRACTS. SOME GET SPIT OUT ALONG THE WAY WHILE OTHERS THRIVE. SOME BUISNESSES FAIL! LET THEM FAIL! WHEN THE GOVERNMENT GETS IT’S DISGUSTING HANDS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR YOU HAVE COMMUNISIM,EVEN IF IT’S COMMUNISIM “LIGHT” GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION ISN;T ANYTHING ELSE BUT COMMUNISIM.

An employer might have some serious reservations about the employability of anybody “thinking” in this fashion.
“More and more economists are coming around to the idea that the economy is faltering because of a lack of demand, said Boushey. The best ways to increase demand, she said, is to invest in things that generate demand, like infrastructure aid to the states, education and long-term unemployment benefits.”
That’s right Heather. Let’s crank up the Federal printing presses another notch or two and “invest” a few more trillion in infrastructure aid, education and long-term unemployment benefits. I’m sure that’ll create a sustainable demand for consumer goods. In fact, I’m so sure of it, I’d recommend enough money be printed to allow EVERYONE in the United States to be given long-term unemployment benefits. In fact, let’s just make those unemployment benefits permanent and REALLY supercharge our economy!
“Create jobs now!”
Cuz it’s magic! Obama just hasn’t sprinkled the right government pixie dust on the economy yet!
What an anti-intellectual hoax. Especially out of the AFL-CIO. All they know is how to kill job-creators.
Because, as we all know, the only reason companies exist is to employ people and the salaries and benefits don’t actually cost employers anything. < / sarc x3 >
