government spending = more jobs??

NO! Government spending does not create jobs. We must remember that the government raises revenue by taxing its productive citizens. The more we're taxed, the less incentive we have to work. Just think about what they do to over-time pay and bonus; more work = higher taxes.

I came across this graph that actually shows a correlation between government spending and joblessness. Finally some proof to the puddin'!



The craziest part of it all is that a significant amount of Americans have fallen for the trick. Government spending grows the government; government programs increase dependency.

Let's take the extended unemployment benefits for instance. On the radio show the other day, someone called in and shared an example of their friend's son who is in IT and "can't find a job" and is "forced to remain on unemployment" because there are no good jobs out there. Am I the only one who remembers when people worked 2 or 3 jobs just to make ends meet?

My husband and I own a delivery restaurant and WE'RE HIRING!! You'd think that the talent pool would be incredible and we'd have the cream of the crop applying. You know, there aren't any jobs out there, so the stack of applications should be huge, right? WRONG. Because our government has extended unemployment benefits, potential employees are staying with the unemployment check rather than working a job that is "beneath" their skill level.

Wake up, America! This is part of the scheme of creating government dependence.

The Cycle of Societies.
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;

8. From dependence back into bondage
