Where are the jobs?

The democrats promised and started work on large infrastructure projects to produce jobs and restart our economy. The Republicans took over (the House) and promised jobs and that was the last time either party really addressed them. Since then there have been all manner of bills passed in the house and then they started on the debt ceiling which has nothing to do with jobs and everything to do with grabbing power.

I keep hearing that the way to get more jobs is to give bigger and better tax breaks to corporations and the very rich in the hope that they will for some mysterious reason create jobs.

Anyone with just a little sense can see that the only, ABSOLUTELY ONLY way to create jobs is to put money in the hands of people that spend it to buy things. So the question arises; who are those people? Well the poor would spend the money but mostly just to stay alive and educate their children. The rich already have money and know how to keep a tight reign on their expenses so they’ll likely look for a safe investment like precious metals, treasury bonds (not necessarily U.S. bonds) or just save it for their children’s tax free inheritance.

The Middle class will actually buy things, new cars, home improvements or new house, clothes, and many other things. Projects like the high speed rail would create middle class jobs and put money in their hands. Infrastructure creates construction jobs and jobs for their numerous suppliers. Of course most of the new republican governors killed most of the programs in their own states.

People with money force manufacturers to produce and increase their workforce and satisfy customers. If their products are good and accepted demand increases, and manufacturer increase jobs and make more money, so round and round it goes. It seems like common sense to me.

So I ask you again; where are the jobs?!!
