it's true that 8+ percent unemployment makes job-creation a "huge" issue (not only for politicians but for those on the left). But we should remember that almost any government program creates jobs."Job creators" (rich people) create jobs, but then again, so does working-class spending (due to the multiplier & accelerator effects). We can't forget the importance of the _kind_ of spending done: no spending can be justified on the basis of job-creation alone. -- Jim Devine / "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." -- Albert Einstein _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
