B.O. plans to create 2.5m jobs
President-elect Barack Obama yesterday outlined his plan to create 2.5 million jobs in coming years to rebuild roads and bridges and modernise schools while developing alternative energy sources and more efficient cars.
Using which auto companies? |
2.5 million jobs would be less than a 2% gain in employment today, given that we have about 145.5 million people employed in the previous quarter. We create more jobs than what he's proposing in a good year without any government intervention. |
He'll take credit for the ones that would have happened anyway. This guy has 'public image over substance' down to an art. |
