To elaborate on the Obama administration’s emphasis on the use of almost a trillion dollars as an anti- recession slush fund for political purposes.
It was supposedly a pick and shovel job proposal but the funds were used primarily to pay unionized state employees.
But proposed pick and shovel job proposals are meaningless to women and skilled workers who make up such a large part of the work force. This did not help in the 1930’s when women were a small part of the workforce. It certainly is of no use in today’s high-tech industrial society.
What is more, government jobs emphasis create poor psychology. This job program philosophy creates just the opposite employment atmosphere, if we must overcome fear and gloom to get over a deep recession.
