Businesses do not exist to create jobs.

29. Business and Government need to cooperate.

Employing people should be a win win situation for everyone and frankly the only way you get wages up is by reducing unemployment. First things first.

And maybe we could reduce unemployment by giving money to the states to hire people. But if a Governor doesn't want to increase his future payroll costs and benefit costs after the Federal Government decides the stimulus is over then they need to think twice. Taking that money means future obligations. Local governments can't afford the number of employees they had until the real estate market recovers back to its peak, and even then they were underfunding pensions.

But one thing stands out to me...if you don't understand why corporations hire and try to create those conditions, you can't expect them to create jobs.
