Last summer, as Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton celebrated the former president’s 65th birthday with a party at their rented Hamptons home, talk among their guests turned to President Obama’s travails over the debt crisis and doubts about his re-election. “I’m really trying to help him,” the white-haired former president said, shaking his head, “but he seems to have lost his narrative.”
The American public has a hard time seeing that creating more public money dependents (jobs) will help the economy. It is just more burden. Public sector "jobs" do not create GNP. The moneys required to support these "jobs" takes money out of the economy.
If public sector "jobs" are SO good, then why not have 99% of the jobs in the U.S. be dependent upon tax revenue? Who would make the products to sell overseas? What would we stock in the auto parts stores? Who would plow our crop fields? Who would build our houses? Who would make furniture, mattresses, guns, fishing equipment, computers, phones, TVs? Wait..........who makes them now?
Slick Willy.....you've got to hand it to him. Wait......I don't think that he would be satisfied with a handjob.
