	Curt Clawson on Budget & Economy

Government has zero ability to "stimulate" job creation

There are lessons to be learned from years of stimulus spending, subsidies for the politically connected, and from ObamaCare. The first lesson to be learned is that the private sector is the only way to create productive jobs to create real prosperity. Government is ineffective at creating jobs and has zero ability to "stimulate" job creation on its own. If a stimulus strategy were truly effective, America would be awash in jobs today--but, of course, we are not.

By the Obama Administration's own admission, the government spent $278,000 for each stimulus job "created" or "saved". While Democrats hailed this law as the single most important effort to save jobs, an honest assessment would view the government action as extremely unproductive.
