I want you to stay and illustrate the economic fallacy that a benevolent government, through its actions, can "save" jobs

Where did I make the claim that our benevolent government can save our jobs. Quite the opposite, I agreed with you that their interference is making things worse.

And I'm under no obligation to shift the conversation to the topic you want, when you won't even acknowledge the Law of Unintended Consequences.

Shipping our technology to other countries has EVERYTHING do with unintended consequences, as do laying off the American consumers you're counting on to buy your cheaper products and borrowing money from foreign countries to pay their unemployment benefits.

And you're right, you have no obligation to answer my question. Just remember that I'm not the only one reading your failure to reply to it.

I'm glad people are reading this, because they see you spinning like a top. Let's say your benevolent government chooses to save some jobs in the steel-producing industry . . . in order "save" money on unemployment benefits, etc., as you postulate. How many jobs in the steel-consuming industry are you willing to sacrifice, and pay unemployment benefits for? How are you so certain you are "saving" anything? Remember, this is our government we're discussing.

Until you can answer the above without another one of your dodges, then you haven't demonstrated that you are capable of understanding my response to your question.
