Government creates jobs- call the News!

Republicans often say that government cannot create jobs. Job creation is the province of the private sector, and small businesses create the most jobs in America. We cannot raise taxes on small business. This, to use Rachel Maddow's words is "Bulpuckey."

The government absolutely does create jobs. When there is a pothole in a road, they say, "hire someone to fill it." When a bridge needs repairs, it's, get somebody to fix this before it falls into the river." Conservatives must think that it is better for the free market to determine who dies when a bridge collapses.

Of course, these jobs are government jobs, and in order to be free, we need to be less reliant on government, not more. Okay, I can deal with a philosophy of only as much government as necessary not not an ounce more. Then too, government costs money. The more we have the more i costs. This means higher taxes.

We've got a bunch of people out of work right now. They are so out of work that they are in danger of becoming unemployable. The private sector is not hiring. The government must. Not to mention the fact that there are many bridges in this country perilously close to collapsing like the one in Minnesota. Think about that the next time you cross one.
