Two big reasons why the federal gov't isn't going to bring back jobs.
First, there were never any jobs that were crated, airlifted, and unpacked in Nanking to start with. A job in America happens when one American hires another American. The Chinese have no part in it. In the second place the federal gov't doesn't make jobs happen anywhere. State run economies fail. Conservatives are supposed to know that. Anyone who thinks America should have more jobs can create jobs himself simply by hiring someone --and if they can't or won't they should at least stop whining about how someone else should do all the heavy lifting for them.
The thing is that it's really not that hard to hire someone, and one of the easiest ways is to own a corporation and make it hire people. Right now in the US there's about $18T worth of corporations that employ about 120M Americans. That comes out to about $150K per job. Imagine if the all the gold bugs on the FR dumped their gold & bought stocks --we'd end up with higher employment, plus a lot of freepers would be much better off.
Of course those corps would be able hire even more people if they didn't have to waste so much of their earnings paying federal import taxes...
So, you blame the corporations? Well, they do not do the hiring for the most part. It has always been the small businessman/woman who led us out of troubled times. What you cannot do is change certain factors of production that are basic Econ. (land, labor, and, capital). Why do you think the Texan with 1,000 employees cut his workers to 28 hours a week? It was that the 2 million fine for Obamacare was cheaper then the alternative. That is the FED GOV in the way of jobs. You can go to your macro econ game, AKA national income accounting. Add the monetary policy you seem so bent on. Please realize that not all business owners are millionaires. When did you mortgage your home plus all you owned to start a business? I have.
