Malfeasance - Job Creation


 

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!

It's pronounced Or-ree!!!

  This first edition offers some insights into this weekly article and provides a brief history of Horry County.  Our readers can expect an array of subjects, topics, and stories, both current and past, that have opinion, fact, and some stories passed down over time with no collaboration aka Horry County lure.  No subject will be off-limits, and the goal is to be entertaining, informative, thought provoking, and simply a fun read.      Horry County: Pronounced (OR-ree), was occupied primarily by the Chicora Indian before English settlement in the early 1700’s. Not named Horry County until 1801, initial settlement was in 1732 by English settlers that made their way up the Waccamaw River from Georgetown to settle on a high bluff area overlooking the river where history claims the group of explores killed a bear eventually naming the area Kings Town in honor of the English King to later be named Conway.   Located in the easternmost region of the State, from settlement through the early 19

Rankin Out of Touch

  Luke Rankin is out of Touch with Voters Horry County Senator Luke Rankin put himself in a political box last week that he will find it difficult to get out of as reelection time rolls around. With reform of the process which elects judges in the state being a hot topic among the voters and other elected officials, Rankin chose last week to voice support, in an hour-long speech on the Senate floor last week, for the current process. As Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Vice Chairman of the Judicial Merit Selection Commission, Rankin has a lot of say in who becomes judges in South Carolina. He probably can’t be blamed for wanting to keep that power in his hands. However, 695,791 voters in the recent South Carolina Presidential Primary election answered a question included on the ballot of whether the current process of electing judges in the state should be reformed. Over 91 percent, 634,345 to be exact, said YES. When 9 out of every 10 voters disagree with the position of
