The Patriot Post® · Obama's Budget Rhetoric

John Stossel: “‘I will … create new jobs …’ Politicians always say that, but this president says it especially often. Do voters not know that government has no money of its own, so when politicians ‘create’ jobs, they take money from the private sector, the only group that creates real jobs? I emphasize ‘real’ because, of course, politicians can create jobs by funding companies like Solyndra, hiring more staff or paying people to dig holes and fill them up. But those jobs don’t last or create real wealth. Politicians can’t create real employment by taxing people and giving the money to others.”
