[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 878555, member: 13254"] The government really shouldn't be creating jobs, but creating an atmosphere friendly to job creation by private concerns. Government jobs, while the employee does make a wage and in turn spends that money does help the economy BUT, when only public jobs are being created (by the government) it also creates a black hole that swallows up the economic increase to never be seen again. When the government creates a $60k per year job @ the cost of $ 500k, there is only one winner and that is the individual that landed that job. When a private company creates a $60 per year job, there are multiple winners, including the government. I really doubt there can be a scenario where the economy can recoup the $500K spent to create a $60k job. Moreluck is correct that the massive regulations imposed (regardless of who imposed them) is strangling job creation. Oh and cutting back on the spending is only part of the equation. [/QUOTE]
