So because they break it out and don't try to cram a 2000 page bill full of crap down the throats of the public, that is bad?
You do understand that your master has now decided to break his farcical 'jobs bill' up into separate pieces?
They haven't broken anything out. They have no plan so they put out a list of previously introduced bills to pretend they actually have a plan.
You do understand that you're a massive tool don't you?

no it isn't. job creation is a fortunate by product of needed construction venues. throwing away money to hire temp teachers and police officers is an unconstitutional waste of taxpayer money that could be used to pay down the debt.

as it should.
I wasn't talking about this specific piece of legislation.

and that goes back to my original point. job creation is not a power of the government.

Walker's repeal of union retirement bargaining saved teacher jobs- That is the way to secure public jobs.
But there are plenty of government powers that can be exercised that create jobs. Lots of them, even. And the government should use those powers.

government doesn't produce, it only consumes. government job creation is a shitty return on investment.

at a loss of 3 to 1. what good can that possibly do?
I'd love to have a conversation with you about this, but you can't keep going up and down the ladder of specificity to suit your argument. Government consumption creates jobs. Lots of them. Whether a specific policy proposal creates jobs efficiently is an entirely separate discussion.

LMAO.... so all of this government deficit spending and yet unemployment remains above 9%... but somehow that spending creates 'lots of jobs'. You truly are a tool.

1. government consumption requires bodies to fulfill whatever purpose is desired at that time.
2. because government only consumes and doesn't produce, any job created is only temporary.
3. temporary jobs will only put an economy on a rollercoaster which creates uncertainty in the market.
4. uncertainty in the market extends negative outlooks in the economy which only serves to continue the downslide.
the end result being that governments attempt to create jobs only fuels economic instability.

Is the unemployment rate above 9% still? Yes.
A point you seem desperate to avoid. I know your masters want you to continue to try and deflect from this... but bottom line, all that government spending did little. It was a stop gap measure. Which is why Stimulus 2.0 is now on the table to once again 'please help our public sector workers again... you know, the same ones we bailed out before, but now have to bail out again'
