The government can't create jobs!
Word!
"There is no free lunch in the job market, any more than there is
anywhere else. The government can always create particular jobs or save
particular jobs, but that does not mean that it is a net creation of
jobs or a net saving of jobs."
"The government can create a million jobs tomorrow, just by hiring
that many people. But where does the government get the money to pay
those people? From the private economy -- which loses the money that the
government gains."
"With less money in the private sector, the loss of jobs there can
easily exceed the million jobs created in the government or in
industries subsidized by the government. The Obama administration's
creation of "green jobs" has turned out to cost far more money per job
than the cost of creating a job in the private sector."
