Obama To Announce New Stimulus Cash For Jobs Today

We the people, of course. We're hiring people to do a job for us - in this case, to develop new energy-production technologies. The "private sector" isn't going to do it, because it's going to take a lot of research, development and infrastructure construction before it can be used as a profitable product, and they'd rather use their existing money-earners instead.

I fail to see how creating a useful product that "the private sector" couldn't be arsed to do for themselves is destroying jobs.

They built homes and villages for themselves and fed their families but I guarantee you that if you went into the woods and chopped down trees now to build your house, or planted a crop on someone else's property, your home would be the county jail. We don't even want to mention what would happen if you tried to steal someone else's land so that you could make your little village.

Without taxpayers, there is no funding for govt projects.

Uh...that's true. Also, without water in the oceans, the Hawaiian Islands would be mountains. How does this support your point that public-sector jobs destroy private-sector jobs on a one-to-one basis?

The first peoples of America, did not have a Federal govt with Federal projects to feed little federal dependents. Yet, they built homes and villages for themselves and fed their families. How was this possible?

They had much smaller populations to support. Even the great cities of the Aztec empire consisted of only tens or hundreds of thousands of people, compared to the millions in our larger cities.

Do you really hate the federal government so much that you want to return to a pre-industrial way of life to escape it?
