Hey, this is a cut & paste job. What actually happened was somebody asked Leo what he will do at the next Apple event. So the first part you missed was “screams like a girl and leads the crowd in a chant of…”.
About the government creating jobs for people and how that breeds dependency over what the private sector does.
CCC, TVA, WPA, etc.
Yeah these made the Great Generation, the dependent, weak people that fought and won WWII so you would be free from Imperial Japan and Germany.
They came back and made damn sure the whining sycophant baby boomers had all the TV, gas guzzlers & suburban life they could get as they lived off their government dependency.
Naive, easy to forget the past, foolish little sheeple you are to even THINK that. But then that is the MO for such. Blame someone other than the individual. Blame gods, blame the state, blame culture, blame youth, blame genetics, blame the family. We are the final arbiters in our lives.
Take the wheel, be responsible.

Jobs and spending are tied together. If you want jobs, more spending is necessary.
The people with money need to start spending the money.
Products need to be sold in order for more to be made. The more products that need to be made the more workers it takes to make the products.
The government can ignite some spending by creating jobs that build bridges, roads and rails.
Tax breaks for companies are nice but do not ignite hiring if customers are not buying.
Tax breaks for individuals do not help in times like these because the people will apply the tax break to rent or food.
#33, The people with money need to start spending the money.
Correction:
The people with money need to start spending THEIR OWN money, not other people’s money.
The government can ignite some spending by creating jobs that build bridges, roads and rails.
And where does the government get this money? It prints it through the Fed.
By the time the workers have it, it is worth less, which means they don’t have the cash to pay for said goods because they are trying to keep the lights on.
#34 — “And where does the government get this money? It prints it through the Fed.”
Two ways come to mind.
1) The normal way which is to have China fund the programs.
2) Make people whine by cutting back on programs like Homeland Security, Department of Defense, Department of Education and some research projects that can be delayed.
Thanks for the correction. Definitely, people with money need to spend their own money.
govt cannot create jobs, the people create jobs. they create them if they are left alone by govt and get to keep their money to create them. Overtax and over regulates and you get our current situation
# 1 Jim w.:
“The real question is jobs created by the government or by private industry?”
I don’t think someone who has been out of work for a year CARES! Either one will get his or her family off the street, fill their bellies and put clothes on their backs…
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
