government’s spending and jobs creating

In July, 2011 Democrat and the Republicans have big argument about raising debt ceiling. The Republicans insisted to cut government’s budget meanwhile Democrat wanted to increase tax. It looks like the Republicans care about cutting budget but ignore role that government play in the job market. The Democrat simply spending and not worry about if the money is spent in a smart way.

A statistic report shown that in New York City, hospitals hire the most people and about 50% of those hospitals’ bills are paid by the government. The second field that the most New Yorkers work for is restaurant and the third one is home care. Home care provides service to low income people and have funding from the government. There are other fields such as school, post office, policemen, and city offices are governments’ direct departments. That means in New York City over 50% people’s income are directly from government’s funding. Those people’s spending majorly supported the restaurants and other stores in New York City.

It makes me think about the economic structures in the United States. How many Americans’ jobs are relied on government’s funding and how many people are not working but picking social security checks or wealth fare checks from the government when our government itself living on debt. If government cuts its budget what will be the economic situation in U.S?

In the last two years our government did play important role in the job market even though they were broken. We actually not only have the problem of if the government should spend money. We also face the problems of how to spend money in an efficiency way when creating jobs.

As what we see most of the medical expenses and home care services are unnecessary needs. It is very simply, if people have to pay fees by their own they will rather give up those medical tests, treatments and home care services. Nursing homes charge $15,000 a month for per person and make government pay for people who have low income. If without government’s backup those low income people will arrange their lives in another way. We there for have right to reevaluate Government’s spending even though it creating jobs. Taxpayers cannot support that in long term when those spending create no products with profit. This is why the Republicans insist to cut the budget. In some point they are right because if we don’t have money we not spend money.
As a metter of a fact Obama makes three mistakes in the last few years.

1) He believes that maintaining budgets for Medicare, Medicaid, SSI and unemployment payments means protecting publicans’ benefit. He doesn’t realize that people who using the above benefit are not the majority of the Americans. If they are that means American’s welfare system needs to be reformed. Beside that many above spending are unnecessary. He should not for earning votes to please those so call poor people.

2) Obama believes that spending can create jobs and save economic. He made spending but not made investment and his investment decisions such as building high speed rails is so stupid. He doesn’t realizing that if government’s spending can not create profit but rely on debts, he actually solves no problem but transfers troubles from left hand to right hand.

3) He can simply increase government’s tax income by stopping Little Bush’s tax cut decision. He gave up that best chance and put himself under the control of the Republican at the time he need to raise debt ceiling.

Obama obviously is not a smart person. He can win of not in 2012 depending on how he adjusts his mistakes. How he actually handle unemployment problem. I again list things he could do as below:

Government does need to play role in the job market directly. We can’t imagine the situation without government’s function in New York City. Government should not only care about how to cut the budget they should also find out how to spend money efficiently to solve people’s living problems.

I mentioned some related ideas in this blog before. In short term government should let people share government jobs. In long term government can build retirement homes to encourage retirement and leave jobs position for the youths. They can also use housing project to substitute social security payments and reduce cost for retired people. The process of building houses will create jobs immediately.

Eventually, we need to change goal we seek in our live. Mankind should not seeking for money and high GDP any more. We should learn how to live better and spend less. Living in low income will result in requesting fewer jobs. Job demands decreasing in the market will increase people’s chance to look for jobs. Another goal is make the spendings have mulitiple results.
