Malfeasance - Job Creation
In a world where job creation is the holy grail of economic policy, our valiant government has heroically stepped in to ensure that everyone has a job—even if that job is creating more jobs. Yes, the government has mastered the art of job inception, making the movie "Inception" look like child’s play. The idea is simple: hire a person to find people who need jobs, and then hire more people to manage the people who are finding people who need jobs. It’s job creation, government-style! It’s like a never-ending Russian nesting doll of employment.
Only in America, can folks get excited about a jobs report that says over 200,000 jobs were created. That sounds like good news, but when you realize most of the jobs created were government jobs, one starts to realize that this ain't such a good thing after all. Many economists would agree with me that a new government job does not add anything to America's GDP. Look, America is something like Two Trillion dollars in debt and we keep hiring people. Does that make sense? If you think it does, you're either ultra-liberal, an idiot or both.
Are all of these new government workers heading over to the Department of Redundancy Department? This innovative agency ensures that every task has at least three people assigned to it. Need to staple a document? No problem! There's a stapler, a staple supervisor, and a stapling quality assurance officer. And let’s not forget the stapler's assistant, whose job is to ensure the stapler has the right staples for the job. Efficiency at its finest! Meanwhile, private sector companies marvel at the sheer number of people it takes to change a light bulb in a government office.
Of course, Joe Biden and his minions would say this surge in government jobs means our tax dollars are hard at work—or at least, they’re working hard to support a lot of hard workers working hard on... well, working hard. So, who needs the private sector to innovate when we can create an army of public servants to file, sort, and supervise each other? So, next time you hear about the government’s new initiative to boost employment, remember: it’s not about the jobs that need doing, but about the people who need jobs to do. And if that means hiring someone to oversee the overseers, then by golly, we’ve got ourselves a thriving economy!
