Creating Jobs
Job creation should be America's first priority, ahead of deficit reduction. The main reason that the economy is still under-preforming is because of lack of demand. Consumers are unable and unwilling to spend because they do not have the money. Without enough costumers, businesses will not create more jobs. Since the cost of borrowing is at such an all time low and our country's infrastructure is so neglected, it makes sense to borrow more to put Americans to work to rebuild our nation.
Big companies are actually sitting on a lot of cash, but are hesitant to invest in new jobs because American consumers are not buying enough to justify the risk of investment. Corporate profits are healthy since they have cut payrolls by using lower-paid contract workers abroad. We need to give businesses incentives to keep jobs in America. For example saying that in cutting their payrolls, businesses also decrease their customers. If they have less employees who are less skilled, the companies will not receive as much business.
America also needs a Jobs Program to create more jobs for public positions such as teachers, police officers, and firefighters. We need to create government contracts for repairing our bridges, roads, and railroads. In re-builing our infrastructure, we create jobs and create demand which will then create the need for more jobs in many other fields.
Another way to create jobs is by using and creating new sources such as green energy. The use of fossil fuels is causing the nation to spend large amounts of money. If we use natural recourses we can create jobs to aid with the development of these natural energy sources and also jobs for inventing new types of energy resources.
For 75 years, our country has used government spending to get us out of crisis. While we often fall into debt, we always get out of it. Without job creation our debt will be worse and will last longer this time.
The private sector cannot create the jobs we need to get our
