Government Jobs?

Democrats work on multibillion-dollar jobs package

Interesting.

Our government, which is continually telling us that we are in the midst of an economic recovery, is finally troubled by the rising jobless rates. They are so troubled, that they are starting to admit, that giving billions to Wall Street firms, doesn't do much for unemployment. Of course, if they were completely honest, they would have to admit that giving billions to Wall Street firms did NOT help the economy either. But you can't expect too much honesty from politicians.

In any case.

Politicians are now working on a bill to provide jobs.

Ha.

The only thing politicians are good at is accepting bribes, raising taxes, increasing the national debt and pretending to do the jobs they were elected to do. So don't expect anything useful to come out of this publicity stunt.

Oh, I am sure that the politicians can come up with a public works bill that will in the short term provide dead end jobs with no future. If we are lucky, it will be short term, if not, it will create a new federal bureaucracy that will never end. Of course it will all be funded by public debt, and higher taxes on the few remaining people with jobs or businesses. But not to worry, as the government continues their war on capitalism by destroying private businesses, they will create more public works jobs. And at some point the federal government will be happy, as there will be no private sector jobs or businesses, only public jobs working for the government, or welfare for the people the government can't be bothered to create make work jobs for.
