After all, capitalism as an economic system depends heavily on borrowing to create wealth-producing assets. So it's apparently okay if businesses borrow (especially from the government) to build more capacity, but it's not okay for government to do the same -- especially when the business sector isn't investing much at all. The statement, in fact, ignores most of the recorded history of economic progress in the USofA, especially the recoveries following the Great Depression and WWII.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-87651565371775770132011-09-16T22:19:12.108-05:002011-09-16T22:19:12.108-05:00Show me the money, not more debt, to "create ...Show me the money, not more debt, to "create jobs" comes from.

Same for Milwaukee, city and County unfunded OPEB liability.<br /><br />Fact #2 - Job creation takes money. Another one time shot by the federal government will have the same no job creation as the last stimulus. <br /><br />Fact #3 - Public employee unions are killing Milwaukee. Higher taxes, less services, no private sector job creation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
