25. Exactly.

During good times, the economy is managed to keep unemployment high enough that inflation isn't a risk. During bad times, government gives the 1% money in the stupid hope that they'll hire someone with it.

The employment to population ratio has been dropping for more than a decade now, with no clear sign of it ending.

IN NO SENSE IS THE 1% MOTIVATED TO CREATE JOBS. EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE.
