First of all, get your claims straight. Republicans dont claim republicans are good for jobs. They claim that the private sector is good for jobs. Its the largest network of job creators, which no govt can or should compete with. Obama has shown, he will throw money at any losing concept, as long as it fits that agenda, like Solyndra and electric cars and Petrobas in Brazil. But he wont let private money create a pipeline to pump oil and sell it to whomever will buy it from a republican state. If you want to make Gasoline in North Dakota, then try and get an Obama permit for a plant. Good luck.

Private business does its own research to decide what product or services are needed and profitable. The fact is, the export of jobs is a function of population growth or growing standard of living, such as china and India. China highway system is expect to surpass the total miles in the US in our lifetime. Just like states compete, now countries compete. Excessive govt control raises the hassle and expense of creating a business or running it. Most commercial properties take a year from Demolition to construction, while they take weeks in other countries.

Govt promised more jobs thru more military bases, (which are closed only by non elected base commissions) and more post offices (which are closing) why? cause peace broke out a while back and we dont need to kill as many trees to write a letter. Govt responds much to slowly to dieing industries. They do have plans to kill a few, if they get a chance.

The Obama Administration counted census workers. How desperate is that? Did they subtract out all the lost jobs at Solyndra and the rest of the taxpayer funded losers? We still have to pay the interest on his 5 trillion in NEW debt. It takes over 300,000 new jobs per month, just to keep up with a new entries into the work force. No government can keep up that pace, unless you want to cull the population thru never ending war. Or you have every gas station attended and a cop on every corner.

The problem with Keynesian economics is, you eventually run out of other peoples money.
