NOT UNDERSTANDING JOB CREATION

Sometimes you wonder whether or not elected officials will ever learn from historical mistakes. The answer is that they never learn. What has failed in the past is repeated again and again. It is not as though the government has not been provided with workable answers. They have and have chosen to ignore them. Modern day politics is not doing what is right, but about maintaining power at all costs.

The Christian Reconstruction Movement has correctly recognized modern politics as power religion. Power religion is using physical force to enact policies. The use of physical force is necessary because their policies can work in no other way. Power religionists do not understand that the world has been predefined by God and therefore, only by being in conformity with God’s law does anything work in the real world.

Even though their policies will be destructive, the power religionists do not care. They will enact any policy that further entrenches their power. The government uses illusions and propaganda to keep the electorate blind. The electorate remains blinded willfully. The electorate does not want to take the responsibility for their votes and find out what effect enacted policies will have long term. Everyone is shortsighted.

What is amazing is that Obama is acting as though he is the President already. The media covers him as though he has already been inaugurated. I do not recall it ever being like this. Obama is arrogant. He cannot wait to get power. He thinks that he has answers to what is ailing America. He does not. All that he will do is what has failed miserably in the past. He and his future administration are economic ignoramus.’

The government does not create jobs. Businesses creates jobs. The government has make work such as the proposed infrastructure work proposed by Obama. Once a bridge is built, it is built. There is no recurring work. It is a one time event. The government generates no revenues, so they must extract it from its citizens. This means that job creation will be stifled by the amount of government expenditures in creating make work. This is the effect of government expenditures. Economic growth under these conditions is impossible.

A good example is a military base. Very few industries thrive in a city where the military is the primary employer. This is because the primary service of the military is to provide for defense. The military is a net user of goods, not a producer. Only through production of goods and services does a nation gain wealth. This principle is understood by very few of our elected officials. It is not understood by the future administration. Obama’s administration is not based upon ethics, but upon power.
