That would make corporations (whoops, "Job Creators") feel more secure, so they will hire and expand, to serve a demand that is no longer there, because the jobs they shifted overseas have left the American middle class with no money to spend on consumerism.

Damn. Pyramid schemes are like that.

Yes, if only the wealthiest had more money, on top of the record 1.2 trillion they are sitting upon and keeping out of the economy, they would feel confident enough to create jobs and grow, in spite of there being no demand possible.

Presuming economic growth in a consumer vacuum ... trickle-down Reaganomics at it's best.

Who are the stupid ones again?

Yes, temporary jobs, for 1-3 years, that leaves tangible results, that produce ... consumers.

just because she produced a plan doesn't mean it's necessarily a good one. is it a start? sure. but just because you and dailykos both call it awesome, doesn't mean it really is.

if it's temporary, where does the tax money collected in future years go? or is that a temporary tax as well? somehow, i doubt it. all the teachers, firemen, etc-who pays for them after the 1-3 years? more pushed on the states in a few years time, along with obamacare, to be trumpeted as savings? 50k per job is the average-how does that work out specifically, since many of the jobs are for summer help, or temp jobs? that's the main problem with jobs created by the govt, paid for by tax payers-there's no generation of profits from sales, etc. it's not a private sector job that sustains itself.
like i said, an idea. a start. awesome??? not so much.
