Job creation

[Dusty]

I thought you all might enjoy this article. Tom Mullen does a great job of putting things into prospective. Long, but worth the read.

I'm doing my fair share, spending all disposable income that comes my way:rolleyes3:.

The current thinking is wrong. They are looking at spending 50 billion dollars building and maintaining the infrastructure. They are jobs that are already there and most of them union, paying prevailing wages.:smash:

Back when Bodger was a wee lad, there were probably 50 private sector jobs for every government employee. We are probably hovering near 7 or 8 these days. It gets worse when you take into consideration that government employees usually make more than private sector employees doing the same thing.:smash:

Thanks, Dusty. Actually a very well written and poignant article. Too bad non of the politicians will read it much less apply its principles.
