Reply #53: Then why demand that Obama provide jobs?

[JoePhilly]

If Boehner thinks the government can't create worthwhile jobs (which is a lie) ... why demand that Obama create them.

Of course the government creates LOTS of very good jobs.

Lots of great paying jobs exist thanks to government contracts, in a wide variety of fields.

The reality is that the government often has financed the foundational research and development that companies then get to leverage going forward.

Without the US government, and the jobs it creates, there would be no land line phone, no energy lines or cable lines to rural America, no internet anywhere.

But the GOP's argument is UP a level ... "the government is evil and does nothing well ... so elect me and I'll prove it."

This is a simple message to punch them with, and we should do so over and over and over.
