Quote from dumb_mother:
first i'd start by, not rolling back legislation on financial institutions enacted after the great depression to prevent a further one, but levying a thousand pages of new rules... i mean they might have to hire people to figure out what the rules are at least and i'm sure this would in no way negatively effect their current situation.
second i'd take over healthcare, i mean the best way to add jobs is to make them public sector jobs so that you can hire 4 people to do what 1 person could do in the private sector. if natural employment is 95%, if we made all jobs public sector we could get all the way up to 380% employment!
third i'd add more new environmental requirements, so that before a company wanted to do any project it'd have to hire a bunch of people to figure out if it was possible. for every 10 projects that isn't allowed we'd still get a bunch of people hired just to apply and get denied, and we could hire more people to be the deniers- hell that's got to create a couple million jobs again.
fourth i'd outlaw firing workers or moving to different areas to become more cost effective and efficient. obviously our goal in promoting employment is to get the least efficient workforce so that more people can have jobs. if someone tried to move a factory to make it more efficient i'd just nationalize it and then since they'd be public sector jobs there'd be a hiring frenzy again so that we could bring our efficiency down.
i mean i don't really understand how the unemployment rate hasn't dropped by 2% rather than increasing 2% since obama took office- he's got all the perfect plans in place already.
i'm stumped
