But I was Promised a “Shovel-Ready” Job!
Government leaders talk about creating jobs … but their actions just hurt the average American.
Mr. Self-Sufficient Job Creator Mittens Romney’s Bain Capital destroyed jobs left and right [9].
Romney launched Bain Capital with money from the leaders of El Salvador’s death squads [10].
And a federal bailout saved Bain [11] from ruin.
But surely Mr. Liberal Help-the-Little-Guy Barack Obummer is fighting for the worker?
Unfortunately not … Obama thinks that unemployment is a good thing [12], because it shows that the economy is productive.
Despite the partisan rhetoric [13], Obama and Romney both support policies which help the ultra-rich [14] – and politicos in D.C. [15] – at the expense of everyone else. [16]
They both support terrible government policies [12], the off-shoring of American jobs [17], never-ending bailouts [18] and ruthless behavior by the big banks [19] … and so we will continue to have Depression-level unemployment [20] under either a second Obama term or a president Romney.
Indeed:
- There are lots of jobs for the 1%, but few for the poor [14]
- The politicos and lobbyists are doing great – D.C. has the highest income in the country [15] – and yet Main Street is suffering [16]
In case we weren’t clear about how unhelpful government policies are in relation to job creation, let us give some example:
- The government has intentionally squashed [21] lending by the big banks in an idiotic attempt to give the banks never-ending bailouts, without causing runaway inflation. (And see this [22])
- An economics professor says we’ll have “a never-ending depression unless we repudiate the debt, which never should have been extended in the first place” [23] … but the government refuses to ask big banks to write down their debts
- Fraud was one of the main causes of the Depression, but nothing has been done to rein in fraud today [24]. But the only action the government is taking is to help cover up fraud [25]
- All leading independent economists have said that the economy cannot recover until the big, insolvent banks are broken up [26], but the government has just helped them to get bigger [27]
- The Federal Reserve caused the Great Depression and the current crisis [29], and has done nothing but help the fatcats at the expense of the little guy. And yet the government has given the Fed more power than ever [30]
- Government policies send manufacturing jobs and dollars abroad [31]
- The government’s monetary policy is only making things worse [32]
