Ok, with all the abuses of language and blatant misrepresentation of facts this past year, you might think it odd that I’d mention this – but it’s a good example of common economic stupid. In the past year, 25% of American steel workers have been laid off. So this lady was saying on TV that, “every steel worker’s job creates 7 other jobs.” Read more...

According to this article in the Boston Globe, there is mass confusion over counting the amount jobs created or saved by the use of stimulus money. Most groups reported jobs for workers that had not been hired yet, and for work that had yet to start. 90 jobs were reported as “created” when 150 people got a cost of living increase. The Democrats are saying they expected confusion and a shake out, but that the numbers would get increasingly accurate as time went on. This knowledge of inaccuracy certainly did not stop the Obama Administration from claiming that the stimulus has saved or created 640,000 jobs – something we now know (and guessed all along) is wildly exaggerated.

Calling a lawyer litigious is like calling an engineer industrious, or an entrepreneur entrepreneurial, or a doctor inquisitive. Because – like – being litigious means having a tendency to litigate – which is the essential job of a lawyer. So if a lawyer likes their job they probably make lots of money too, which is bad, because everyone who isn’t a stupid right-wing nut-job knows that unless you’re working for the government or in a government program all your wealth is being stolen from the poor. That’s easy enough to see on a percent of national wealth graph.

Green jobs are great. We can do a lot of stuff here in Michigan, like build wind turbines. But that won’t result in more jobs. The greener we get the fewer energy jobs there will be in the energy industry, especially if we reduce our overall use.

The working poor…
Some people are working 50+ hours a week just to feed and house themselves. They make low
wages and are trapped without access to education. Their children inherit this entrapment. Their children have to work right away and get no help.
