Politics and job creation?

[Svartalf]

OK... so I'd like to have a discussion about how people even believe politicians who promise to create jobs.

Far as I can tell, the only mean politicos have to actually create jobs is to either increase the administration (boosting the personnel in a given office, creating new offices, or even whole new organisations), or to launch into New Deal style major works.

We all know that as of the last 2 decades, the trend has been more to the reverse, yet politicos still promise to find jobs for the enmployed... How.

I can understand the tricle down economics theory, except we all know that when bosses get tax breaks and whatnot, they don't hire more people, they just laugh all the way to the bank.
Still, there's a logic behind the idea that a guy who is looking to hire will be incited to do so if he can pay the employee peanuts, have no payroll contributions to dish out, and can rid of the employee whenever he doesn't want it anymore. Yet, acting on these factors has proved not to work as advertised.

So how can politics induce job creation when all the jobs are created abroad?

They still do that? and those things don't hire a crushing majority of illegals? 'cause unless you make it a permanent service to, say, maintain roads or whutver, just how many jobs can they finance to make boondoggles, and for how long?
LOL, and we mock homeopathy...

I watched major changes go down in this little town of 7,0001 due to Shovel Ready. We had a nightmare exit from the local Interstate, into a main street with no stop light and a short ramp. They took a two lane street and made over a mile of it four lane with a new exit and on ramp and better access to the weight station for the big rigs. That's just one example.

Job "creation" has been great the last few decades. Simply invite (il)legal immigrants in that demand less wages, made up of course through welfare, and as wages fall companies can afford to hire more workers. That is when they are not too busy freely giving away what was once considerd trade secrets to third world countries that pay what would be less than slave wages here.

Make it ho ready, and you'll be right.

Which is the same as creating the bob abroad, since that money gets out of the normal circuits.
