Arbo,
Who said anything about government jobs? I said "public-private partnerships," a cooperative arrangement that's been successfully implemented by both sides - government and private enterprise for years going back as far as the Civil War. But you and others who believe as you do would ignore that despite the historical evidence and instead focus on short-sighted gains or as you'd have people believe the lack thereof.
Of course the nation will have to spend money in order to move out of this economic mess we're in, but isn't it better to have public money working alongside private money in order to make our country stronger?
Your side says 'NO MORE FEDERAL SPENDING". Okay, fair enough. We stop spending and reduce cost wherever we can. We take the Ron Paul approach. Then what?
Military spending is cut far worse than the Budget Control Act of 2011 would call for. We withdraw from the world. Then what? Foreign relations fall apart. The world feels less protected. The three strongest nations - USA, Russia and China - all go their separate ways. The stronger nations abroad partner with rouge nations - Russia/Syria to our West, China/N. Korea to our East. Can you imagine a scenario where American can continue to defend herself against forces of such magnitude set against us?
If you people want another war on your hands, vote for Team Romney. But if you want a chance to see this country succeed and avert war, you'd better put your bigotry and your anger and your mistrust aside and vote for the Black man in the White House.
