Why do some people think government jobs are the answer to our dilemma?

Our government and our nation is like a family. If we were a mom and dad and four kids and only mom was working we might be hard up like we are now. If mom decided more of us needed jobs to get ahead would it help if she gave Dad a job raking leaves and mowing the lawn and all the kids jobs around the house. We would all be payed by mom and our problems would be solved right?

No, we would be no better off just like if our government borrowed more money to give us jobs that we would have to pay for later plus interest.

The only answer is getting real jobs like raking leaves for our neighbor or selling our services to the nice Chinese lady down the street, or Dad working some other place besides at home and bringing money home from there.

So, that is why more needless government jobs are not the answer.

I am interested in your opinions however and will give them my full consideration.

    Government jobs that provide a needed service to the public are fine but making jobs just for the sake of employing people is insane. Some people must not even know the meaning of debt maybe like the story of a person who opened a checking account and then wondered why they were in trouble a few weeks later for writing thousands of dollars of checks on an empty account.

    It has been this way since the new deal that turned the country around. They think if people are working for the government they will keep the country going. They do not think where the money will come from. Building things and making things is where money comes from and unless we are doing that we will not have the money to pay the government people.

    Private sector and Government create jobs. When the private sector can not or will not create jobs, the government can, it will stimulate the economy and quicken recovery of our weakened economy.
