Create Your Own Job...Whatablessing Reports

Oct. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Create Your Own Job….Whatablessing Reports

I cringe every time I hear some politician talking about government “creating jobs.”
I hate to burst anybody’s bubble, but the idea that government creates jobs is about as real as the tooth fairy.

Jobs are not “created” by the government, by corporations or any other third-party entity. The only person who “creates” a job is the individual by acquiring skills that someone is willing to pay for.

If you have a valuable skill, you will create your own job. Whether you choose to work for a company, the government or on your own is your business.

The world is full of needs—that will never change. People need to eat. People need their plumbing to work. People need their cars repaired. People need their computers to function. Businesses need accountants to balance their books. The list is endless.
If you have a skill that meets a need, you will always have a job. It’s as simple as that. If you have no skill that is in demand, you will be unemployed.

The government cannot take somebody without in-demand skills and make them valuable. If government “creates” a job it merely destroys real jobs in the private sector through taxation to “create” a false job in the public sector.

That’s why the stimulus failed. The free market is more efficient than the government. When government taxes or borrows excessively, it suffocates the private sector to expand the public sector. This moves money from efficient private operations to inefficient government operations. That’s a recipe for stagnation, which is exactly what we have.

Many of us saw this coming a mile away.
These public jobs (and welfare) create dependency, which may be good politics for Democrats, but doesn’t help people acquire real skills necessary to be of value in the free market. We keep extending unemployment benefits and wonder why unemployment stays high. This is not rocket science.

I know quite a few people who - when facing poor job prospects - worked nights, went to nursing school and are now making good money. They didn’t wait for the government to create a job for them.

If your existing skills are not of value, you must get a new skill. Those on unemployment should use the time to retool and learn new skills. The world changes. Learn to weld, earn a CPA designation, become a bricklayer or a plumber. Just don’t sit around waiting for President Obama to “create” a job for you.

This is a classic symptom of the Nanny State, in which we impatiently wait for the government to fix our problems instead of taking personal responsibility for our own situation.

Just like FDR, Obama’s misguided policies are dragging us through an unnecessary prolonged period of economic stagnation. FDR’s attempt to “create” jobs also led to a lost decade. So it is now.

But take heart. This recent softness is not surprising considering the Fed finally quit printing money willy nilly. We’re finally starting to stand on our own two feet. We’re wobbling, but we’re standing. Historically, it takes seven years to recover from a financial crisis. By 2014, we should be beginning.

We have to quit expecting government to solve all our problems. Business cycles, even severe ones, are part of life. Rather than run to the rescue, the government needs to lay off and let the economy right itself naturally.

The more government money we throw at the problem, the longer we delay the cure.
