If there is one focal issue which all people, parties and movements in America seem to agree on, it is the need for JOBS.

But what has escaped the Madison Avenue inspired White House spin doctors is the proper way to approach the issue. In a classic case of the Freudian slip, the Administration still insists (in typical narcissistic fashion) that it has this god-like ability to CREATE jobs out of, basically, nothing but paper promises. 

This boast can only emanate from a big government, government-knows-best mindset, which clearly betrays itself, in the obvious result that the greatest number of jobs being created are government jobs, or jobs which support government initiatives, or, sadly, jobs with personal inside connections to actual government officials, or their friends or families.

It’s amazing that the White House behaviorist propaganda wizards have so clearly botched the semantics of their spin, which should be couched around a campaign to prove that they are “helping to create an environment which enables the growth of private sector jobs”. That’s what they should be saying, even though it’s clearly not what they’re doing, and it is oddly out of character for this administration to miss an opportunity to euphamistally enshroud their government-growth-centric agenda in righteous sounding, patriotic, capitalistic rhetoric.

But regardless, the effect is clear. For example, when my 19 year old daughter, who currently flips pizza’s for a living (her fourth part-time job in under two years) comes over for dinner, I have to realistically, as a concerned father, suggest what I think to be her best bet to secure a stable full time job.

“Try to break into government, especially federal government” I say, knowing that the great socialist experiment that America will likely be gagging on for the next three years provides the best opportunity for stability, advancement and growth. After all, with the average federal government salary at $71,000 per year (and rising), vs. $40,333 (and falling) in the private sector, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out where we’re headed.

A government job may not be very exciting, or very satisfying, but it’s currently our number one growth industry and the only industry where incomes are growing, and it’s where our tax dollars (in the form of stimulus spending) are headed. And since the country’s headed for bankruptcy, making hay where any dwindling ray of light still shines seems the most pragmatic solution for now.

“You may luck into some academic study of the foreclosure crisis, or maybe a research position to determine the efficiency of green jobs during a global cooling cycle will topple your way. Maybe you can make a living studying the effects of healthcare reform with some assistance from a grant for whatever ACORN ends up changing it’s name to.”

Of course, this isn’t exactly what I say, but it is what I’m thinking, as I try to craft a message that relates to what remains of the positive thinking that a 19 year old mind can wrap itself around, coming from 50 years of life experience–of which the last 15 has been spent in perpetual disgust.

Likewise, as the private sector shutters it’s doors and pulls the curb up around the expected surge in uncontrolled spending, earmarked to “create” more wasteful, useless government jobs, the sad fact is pretty clear. What jobs are created or saved, or “funded”, will no longer employ the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the great American free market (appropriately in hibernation with the private sector economy).

Rather, the new norm in contrived job “growth” is to languish along the sordid path of big government cronyism, operating under the “invisible hand” of multi-national corporatism, which curtails private sector growth through it’s public-private partnership with a government bent on the extortion of middle class wealth and the elimination of it’s honest work ethic. Working hard and sacrificing for the future is out. Knowing the right people and making the right connections is in.

The multi-national corporate – government cartel subsidizes failure with penalties (taxes and fines) for success, and by penalizing regional or national economies, it thereby extinguishes all up and coming rivals. If  big government can transform the majority of voters into unemployed wards of the new “Governation”, their bets will pay off and the hopeless, new, majority entitlement class will keep them in power.

Under that plan, government functions as a condom for the global elites, protecting them as they sodomize what’s left of the former working class, and providing “safe” jobs for the useless serfs which serve them, at various entitlement layers of the socio-economic stratum.
