Jobs bills are a band-aid. Sustainable, economy growing jobs arent created by Govt spending. They are created by the private sector that the current govt despises and took shots at for a year and a half now.

Govt spending is like huge free agent contracts for over the hill, ex-stars. At first it sounds like a good idea. Yeah we are going to sign Player X/create some jobs. But a couple of years and a whole lot of money later, the luster has worn off, the star is now a bum (stimulus money runs out/govt jobs created become typical drains because most arent really necessary) and you need to gear up for another round of buying over the hill stars/govt spending. You neglected the farm system (private sector and small business)that grows players a lot more cost effectively so you need to spend, spend, and spend. And just like for baseball teams, it doesnt work and eventually becomes unsustainable.

If not now then when?
