I appreciate the sentiment, but government exists to secure our rights, not create jobs.

Our American government has a large role to play in protecting America’s commercial system.

For more than 20 years, our government has stood aside.

China has now taken over the global economy.

(they are the world’s premier exporter now)

American government needs to start protecting American businesses.

How that is done, to keep the government out of the business of actually picking winners and losers is a huge consideration, but our government needs to get very involved in protecting American businesses, at home.

We have exported far too much.

Time to bring home, American businesses.

How to do that, without the government getting involved and completely messing up everything, is critical.

(which is how the Dems would do it)

America really, really needs jobs though. Now.

Government can create jobs be repealing those laws that have driven jobs away.

I appreciate the sentiment, but government exists to secure our rights, not create jobs.

The first prerequisite to securing our rights is make sure power does not consolidate. Power consolidated in Washington DC a hundred years ago, and will remain there until the 17th amendment is repealed.
