Rainbows, Unicorns, and Government-Created Jobs!

The Obama administration has already hired their 16,000 IRS agents to help enforce the new healthcare laws and their 1.5 million census workers.  Apparently those were their only two ideas.  Now they are asking for ideas from the public.  Well, any ideas except those dealing with tax cuts to businesses that can actually create jobs.

Two ideas that have already been dismissed:  1.  Do away with self-service at gas stations.  Attendants would be required to pump your gas and make sure your tires are properly inflated.  Remember the tire gauge was going to end our dependence on foreign oil according to candidate Obama.  Well maybe not.  The administration decided that would just be a "make busy" job.  
2.  Federal subsidies for "urban farms" like Michelle Obama's.  Unless they were growing medicinal marijuana, it would again be a "make busy" job.

One they did like?  If a company is contemplating layoffs, they should eliminate a position, and take the two full-time employees and make them part-time.  Then no jobs are lost!  How easy was that?  They also announced the reason for the continued high unemployment is that for every new job listed, there are five applicants.  And not as many jobs are being created as are being lost.  Whew, that clears up that question.

 Completely unrelated, I love this web ad from the republican party.
