[quote=Jacarandoso]CArenter,
How do you “give” people jobs?
Who do you “give” the jobs to?
What jobs do you “give” them?
Doesn’t this “giving” also one way or another involve “pushing on a string”?
Is everyone supposed to like the national “job giving” program?
Could their be any unintended consequences of “giving” jobs away?[/quote]
In addition to fixing the tax and trade policies, I’ve always supported a WPA-style program for infrastructure, as well as possibly increasing public spending on healthcare and energy R&D.
These have worked exceedingly well in the past, and much (most?) of our current technology is due to PUBLIC spending on R&D that provided the foundation for private companies so they could turn them into profitable ideas.
