Ultimate Cycler Creating New Jobs
I cringe every time I hear some politician talking about
government “creating jobs.”
I hate to burst anybody’s bubble, but the idea that government creates jobs is
about as real as the tooth fairy.
Jobs are not “created” by the government, by corporations or any
other third-party entity. The only person who “creates” a job is the individual
by acquiring skills that someone is willing to pay for.
If you have a valuable skill, you will create your own job.
Whether you choose to work for a company, the government or on your own is your
business.
The world is full of needs—that will never change. People need
to eat. People need their plumbing to work. People need their cars repaired.
People need their computers to function. Businesses need accountants to balance
their books. The list is endless.
If you have a skill that meets a need, you will always have a job. It’s as
simple as that. If you have no skill that is in demand, you will be unemployed.
The government cannot take somebody without in-demand skills and
make them valuable. If government “creates” a job it merely destroys real jobs
in the private sector through taxation to “create” a false job in the public
sector.
That’s why the stimulus failed. The free market is more
efficient than the government. When government taxes or borrows excessively, it
suffocates the private sector to expand the public sector. This moves money
from efficient private operations to inefficient government operations. That’s
a recipe for stagnation, which is exactly what we have.
Many of us saw this coming a mile away.
These public jobs (and welfare) create dependency, which may be good politics
for Democrats, but doesn’t help people acquire real skills necessary to be of
value in the free market. We keep extending unemployment benefits and wonder
why unemployment stays high. This is not rocket science.
I know quite a few people who – when facing poor job prospects –
worked nights, went to nursing school and are now making good money. They
didn’t wait for the government to create a job for them.
If your existing skills are not of value, you must get a new
skill. Those on unemployment should use the time to retool and learn new
skills. The world changes. Learn to weld, earn a CPA designation, become a
bricklayer or a plumber. Just don’t sit around waiting for President Obama to
“create” a job for you.
This is a classic symptom of the Nanny State, in which we
impatiently wait for the government to fix our problems instead of taking
personal responsibility for our own situation.
Just like FDR, Obama’s misguided policies are dragging us
through an unnecessary prolonged period of economic stagnation. FDR’s attempt
to “create” jobs also led to a lost decade. So it is now.
But take heart. This recent softness is not surprising
considering the Fed finally quit printing money willy nilly. We’re finally
starting to stand on our own two feet. We’re wobbling, but we’re standing.
Historically, it takes seven years to recover from a financial crisis. By 2014,
we should be beginning.
We have to quit expecting government to solve all our problems.
Business cycles, even severe ones, are part of life. Rather than run to the
rescue, the government needs to lay off and let the economy right itself
naturally.
The more government money we throw at the problem, the longer we
delay the cure. Simply put We need to start our own business and then hire
yourself as an Employee
