While I don’t disagree with you to a point, there has to be some rationality to all this.
If it is optimal to have tens of millions out of work, then the best situation would be to have everyone out of work.
That obviously isn’t the best situation.
We need to develop and implement policies that help business turn profits with domestic employment. If we can’t do that, we are done as a nation.
Were did I say it was optimal to have anyone out of work? So you want a policy that says we should have profit and employment? No problem, I would be glad to start a business tomorrow and hire 1,000s if the government has a program that assures me of a profit.
On the other hand you could have no policy at all just a low flat tax, light regulatory load, no unions, EPA, OSHA, FDA, FTC, and I am guessing that you will have more demand for labor than could be fulfilled.
The problem is you have a “we” solution, as in “we need”. Business is an “I” proposition. I work, I invest, I take risk, I should reap the reward. Sounds like you want a government led policy because who else “implements” policies besides the government. That is a “we” I can live without.
