[QUOTE="804brown, post: 927032, member: 29553"] Like I have said before, the government can create jobs: infrastructure, defense, health care, education, energy, etc.Usually as the spender of last resort when the private sector refuses or cant spend. Obama's polices were to stimulate growth in a weakened economy, that is classic Keynesian economics, not leftist ideology ( no one is taking away the profit motive). It has been used by every administration since the 1930s to strengthen a weakened or depressed economy. On middle america, they have no problem with government that works for them. They do not want government budding into their private lives but feel it is ok to protect them from greedy bastards that look to harm them: our food supply, the air we breath, at work, etc. . I agree we all want to see everyone treated equally. But we all want government to make sure we are all being treated equally. A true democratic government representing we the people, not just the rich and powerful, is what is wanted. But you keep arguing with that strawman you created. [/QUOTE]
