It's obvious that government at all levels create jobs. That's what the president did. He and the states need to hire more government workers like teachers and cops. Next he needs to start a new WPA to build new roads schools and bridges. Our infrastructure is totally crumbled. I know this because I drive a truck. Next he should issue an executive order that forces companies that are doing well to have hiring quotas. He also should issue a living wage for everyone. That way people will spend more money in the economy.

Government spending will stimulate growth in jobs.

Try to end subsidizing companies sending jobs overseas. I don't think it would pass the House, but it could attract attention to the dreadful practice.
