Haha. That Lawrence Katz can be SO funny! Too bad nobody listens to him.
“I just think it’s a silly exercise” counting jobs, Katz said.
The numbers are inherently inaccurate, he said, because we’ll never know how many jobs would have been created or lost without the stimulus. To do so, we’d need a control group, say giving stimulus money to North Carolina but withholding it from South Carolina.
“Obviously, that’s not something we can do,” Katz said. “We’ve only got one draw of history.”
That’s an “old” quote (January of this year).
I agree! Trying to count how many jobs have been “saved” or even “created” is SUCH a silly exercise! So why is government insisting that doing this and that “saves” and “creates” jobs? If it was truly SO silly, wouldn’t you guys all quit talking about it? What I understand is– you government control freaks throw around the term “create jobs” when it’s convenient to SELL and MARKET an agenda you have, but when we look around for evidence (since we do, after all, PAY for all this “job creation”), it’s suddenly SILLY! Ha hah hah! Funny, guys!
“Now, if you hear some of the critics, they’ll say, well, the Recovery Act, I don’t know if that’s really worked, because we still have high unemployment,” the president said in Nashua, NH on February 2, 2010. “But what they fail to understand is that every economist, from the left and the right, has said, because of the Recovery Act, we’ve started to see at least a couple of million jobs that have either been created or would have been lost.”
Oh yeah? Then how do you explain this stuff?
Personal Income Drops Across the Country
Personal income in 42 states fell in 2009, the Commerce Department said Thursday. Nevada’s 4.8% plunge was the steepest, as construction and tourism industries took a beating. Also hit hard: Wyoming, where incomes fell 3.9%.
Incomes stayed flat in two states and rose in six and the District of Columbia. West Virginia had the best showing with a 2.1% increase. In Maine, Kentucky and Hawaii, increased government benefits, such as unemployment insurance and Social Security, offset drops in earnings and property values.
These people are JOKES. They’ll sell their souls for a dollar, and then try to sell ours from under us, too. This isn’t a GAME, you Washington degenerates. The people of the United States are not a Nintendo Wii game, you jerks. You want to toodle around with quack policies and goofy socialist-style experiments? You wanna wreck your life? Go ahead, whatever. But LEAVE ME ALONE! I thought this was supposed to be the land of the free!
