Optimal allocation of resources produces the optimal employment. And “no” the role of government is not to create jobs. That Leftist claim should be changed to state the role of government is to get the hell out of the way allowing the economy to grow creating new jobs.
“And “no” the role of government is not to create jobs.”
I’m not talking about “Government Jobs” paid for by taxpayers. You jumped to a conclusion there.
I’m saying government should create opportunities for Americans to have jobs, not some theoretical notion of “optimal allocation of resources”.
Government can create those opportunities in a number of ways: tax incentives, free public education, property rights, etc and yes tariffs to prevent corporations from sending jobs overseas.
“Optimal allocation of resources produces the optimal employment.” ==> Maybe the optimal employment in foreign countries you mean.
