The Government Cannot Create Or Save Private Sector Jobs - It Is Absurd to Think They Can
Recently, Nancy Pelosi touted a bill to save jobs and help create more, but the reality is the actions of politicians, lawmakers, regulators, and government are exactly the problem.
To think that academics in the Obama Administration, only a couple have ever owned a business, can micro-manage the complexity and near apparent chaos of free-markets and control its flows, redistribute money, and labor through taxation, regulation, and policy is about the most laughable thing I've ever heard.
Whereas, it is true that Nancy Pelosi is a lot closer to the realities of free-enterprise than President Obama, the reality is that manipulating regulations, rules, and laws to provide barriers to entry (motes, as Warren Buffet calls them) to friends in high places and specific corporations with the biggest lobbyists is not assisting or fixing the challenges we face with free markets, indeed it is the vary challenges that so-called "free markets" must overcome.
Adam Smith warned us in advance of these problems with capitalism - it's the humans, manipulation, and the cozy relationship between business and government we must watch, apparently we didn't listen, and it's obvious that the politicians want to bury his words.
Each time the citizenry complains about jobs they look towards the government to fix the problem; this is ridiculous, as the government and the policies put forth by disingenuous folks and politicians from within are the problem.
"The free market and capitalism has succeeded in spite of the manipulation and regulation of government, not because of it," stated one author of a popular book on the value of capitalism.
Indeed, the author is correct, and so are my comments here today.
If we ever want jobs back in the US, if we ever want to slow the outflow of capital and curtail the challenges of a very skewed and unbalanced trade flow, then we must get our government out of the way.
So far, all the Obama Administration and the Democrats in Congress have done is lost more jobs, run up deficits, increased taxes, violated our constitutional rights as citizens, and made wild promises they cannot keep.
Promises they can't keep because their policies are diametrically opposed to what is needed for a healthiest capitalist economy.
Which should not surprise anyone, as they march us ever close to a socialist state, and that spells the end of America as we know it; for this I am not pleased, and would ask that you please vote all these folks out of office - it has become abundantly clear, they haven't a clue as to what they are doing, don't care, or are purposely driving America off a cliff.
Regardless, of the reason, this group of leaders is unfit to lead.
