How Washington Proposes Creating Jobs

If this wasn't so scary, it would actually be funny.

There is a "jobs" bill floated by a Democrat lawmaker in Washington that would create a million new jobs. Now most of us would rightly believe that Washington isn't really good at creating jobs, mostly because common sense tells us that government isn't designed to produce anything of value. Also, most of us understand for government to create a job, they have to take money from someone else to do it. So then, is it really a job?

Well, here is the proposal...lower the retirement age to 60 for six months. This would have the effect of creating openings of the people that are retiring.


I try not to be partisan, but if a Republican ever tried to float such a dumb idea, I promise you, they would get laughed out of the town by other Republicans. Unfortunately, other Democrats might just actually embrace it.
