I watched a man who labels himself as an economist who said that the only hope we have to create jobs is a “massive” (his word) government spending at least two times that of the previous “stimulus”.
I ask this: As a business owner, if I am encouraged to hire people in response to the government spending money that they borrow for that purpose, should I fire those people when the government takes the money back out of the economy in the form of taxes to pay the loan principle and interest? Does this not make the argument that tax cuts stimulate job growth? And don’t they do that without hiring bureaucrats to handle the money in the mean time?
