Thanks for your insight.

Do you realize that most of these so called "jobs" are going away in a year or two once the states no longer get the money and have to adjust to the lower tax receipts? 

Also - do you realize these so called jobs are costing the taxpayer about 485k per? 

WTF is that?

or they are government jobs which help the private sector in no way

"or they are government jobs which help the private sector in no way"

TRUE - but only if none of these govt workers spend their $ in the private sector.  And since most things we buy are in the pvt sector, then this $ does get taxed when it's paid as income, and it generates pvt and state revenue (taxes) when it is spent.

So while yes, they're govt jobs... they do pipe a lot of $ into the private sector... which creates more pvt sector jobs.  If 2 mil govt jobs are created, these 2 mil people spend their checks at walmart... then Walmart is gonna hire more ppl.

ok even if the new government employees spend a lil money and the whopping 8% goes into the economy was it worth 800 billion of tax payer money ?  hardly..

Does only 8 percent of your check enter the private economy?

I think most people spend 90% (or more) of their take-home income.  Rent, food, car payment, food... all private sector $$.

ah i gotcha.  My whole point is that these goe jobs are pumping a lot of $ back into the private sector.  When mailmen, cops and teachers get their checks, they pay landlords and spend it at walmart.

When some people (not you) claim that the govt-created jobs help zero, that's just not true.  They do create jobs in the pvt sector when new $ is pumped into it.
