I agree with this. Let the so-called "job creators" put their money where their collective mouth is, and either create jobs or gtfo.

1. When you tax a company too much, they start looking elsewhere in the world where the taxes don't rape the,.  We already have the highest corporate taxation in the world.  Tax them for transferring money and they'll just move to another country.

2. Oh goodness. 

If they put a dime in the back, it's going toward creating jobs.  If they invest in something, it's going toward creating jobs.   A business owner doesn't just sit around and one day say, "Hey, I think I'll create a few jobs this week."    And others think, "I'd love to expand my business and hire new workers but I don't have enough liquid capital."

This attitude bothers me. Like the people jumping from failing company to failing company and filking them for all the benefits they can know anymore about business than the people in the government. Just as many of the higher-ups in business are those same kind of know-nothings, and there are quite a few people in government who know what they're doing just as much as there are actual people in business

This victimization of the businessman has to stop

I agree with the idea that we should make green investments. I mean, we're going to need to transition off of oil in only 30 years or we'll have total economic collapse, so we need an entire infrasctructure to somehow replace oil in that time, even if that just means going to biochar and biofuels, more recycling, greener infrasctructure adjustments in every municipality in the country, all sorts of stuff that needs to be done.

We won't have an economic collapse, worse comes to worse and no big breakthrough happens we'll just use Natural Gas for a while.  We've got TONS of natural gas, and you can already run your car on it for 1/3rd the price of oil.

Natural gas is a better option then oil NOW for almost everything, people just don't want to convert everything over when it could just be replaced with some green technology shortly down the line.

I do agree a lot of people in government due know a lot about the buisness world.  It's just, they never get to make the buisness decisions, and instead we get failed keynsian polices that treat the economy as if it were an 6th grader's Algebra homework.

If its about the marcellus shale thing, that phenomenon won't last long, or at least they're going to have to start regulating that industry, which is currently exempted from the clean air and clean water acts. Fracking for Marcellus Shale is perhaps one of the most environmentally devastating things the energy industry does nowadays, aside from open-pit mining

Reform is needed before mass natural-gas adoption will be an acceptable alternative

Before it will be an acceptable alternative to massive economic collapse?

Aside from which, I think Marcellus Shale is supposed to provide like, 2 years worth of natural gas supplies for the US.  While the US is supposed to be sitting on something more to the tune of 90 years of supply for fueling the US.

There are a lot of places to start and things that need to happen. But if you really want to have a boom in job growth you need new ideas, new inventions, new investments that create a high demand for a product or service. But there needs to be big changes if we are to influence the realm of ideas and entrepreneurship. Where do we develop our realm of ideas? The education system.

It is evident through studies and facts that the American educational system has been in decline for years and not getting better even though many administrations have pumped more and more dollars into the system. We obviously know it hasn't been working. Each administration has opted to pump more money into its system. Results have been not so good. Many voices keep saying, "well it must need more funding then!"

What the Education system really needs is total reform. There are plenty of bad teachers in the system that are not getting weeded out. The reason why is, because of Union protections. If a public school wants to get rid of a problem teacher that is not doing their job its nearly impossible once that teacher has tenure. They have to spend large amounts of money and jump through countless loopholes to get rid of a bad teacher, so they give up on trying. Some of these bad teachers get placed into a pool of failing public schools where all the other bad teachers get sent. So in turn our system is not allowing us to get rid of the bad ones to make room for hiring the good ones. Teachers have way too many protections, and so the excess in bad teachers is hindering our educational system to teach upcoming work force. We are not creating enough entrepreneurs like we used to.

To create jobs we need a revolution in the realm of ideas and entrepreneurship. To fix the realm of ideas we need to fix the education system. To fix the education system we need real reform.

If you know you are being forced to do something that is financially stupid, why would you leverage to the hilt against it, as they did?  It is not helpful to spin a story a certain way, in the face of reality  that says otherwise, just to prop up a view of reality.  It is correct to say that the government cheerleadered lending, and also pushed legistlation against redlining.  It is wrong to say, "Well, the excess leveraging on what is here didn't work, because the government made it so". 

But, you are free to believe as you like, even if it isn't totally connected with reality.

That's rather simple.   It's called government backing.   If it all goes south, they'll bail you out.

Basically those government programs that pushed ARM's and high risk loans did so with the guarantee to the lender that the government would pay off bad debts.  Which they ended up doing. 

That called moral hazard.  Loans are lent out based on risk factors to the lender.  When the government removes that risk, what do they care if it gets paid back or not...Uncle Same will save the day.
