A small digression.
I keep hearing the buzzword term "creating "jobs". How is a job "created"? It is though the wizard waves his magic wand and employment appears out of thin air.
However, there has to be demand, an employer has to make money through employees. There has to be a market for whatever product or services those employees generate.
There is no market where government kills business or neglects to protect the business it has.
The "creating jobs" through "stimulus funds" is at best a temporary band aid, or maybe politicians taking the stage with just one illusionary trick of pulling a rabbit out of a top hat to impress a gullible crowd, but in the end it has little substance.
In the case of current economy "stimulation" profit for the employer comes out of receiving tax money rather than generating profit through demanded goods and services by ultimately bringing money in from outside of one's locality (home, city, county, state, nation) - the tax base is not an infinite source of capital.
Imagine a whole nation employed entirely through government revenue: 100% taxation.
