Barack Obama announces job creation plan

Addressing the nation on his YouTube/radio address, President-elect promised a plan that would create 2.5 million jobs by 2011.

The plan is not worked out yet, but from the video it sounds like it will involve repairing crumbling infrastructure and investments in new green energy. No estimate on a price tag, or method of payment either. Hopefully it will involve raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans.

I hope he will include high speed train rails - I think we need our infrastructure rebuilt and this would be better for all than just sending an unemployment check.

It is of course of form of insanity, since it will all be done on money created out of air--which will devalue the existing money--your savings and earnings--and also be created, for no reason except that its part of a scam, as debt ... Any idiot in the world can dream up ways to spend magic money in Happy Land ... This isn't a public service. He's simply writing pretend checks against your real labor and real property for a fantasy scheme to keep the unwashed masses pacified.

What people don't understand is the real cost of all of these schemes is shown in the loss of free will and actual prosperity. The currency is destroyed and in the process the ability to maintain one's business, to be employed at one of these businesses, to make house payments, car payments, to be, in short, in charge of your own destiny, is lost ... So the crisis is created by reckless money creation and central manipulation of the economy, and the solution is what? Creating ten times the money, and making the national economy the sole property of the people who destroyed it.

If the money was created as a public service, a free tool to facilitate trade, we could, conceivably, go a thousand years without a depression. Ask yourself why this valueless paper is created as debt, with constantly mounting interest ... There is no reason whatsoever. Ask yourself why the amount in circulation isn't regulated according to economic activity so there is never too much or too little and the value is always maintained ...The equation to achieve this is absurdly simple. Look up colonial scrip.

Obama isn't offering solutions, he's offering some big doses of the problem. There may be temporary pleasant side effects, but the end result is destruction of our savings and earnings and destruction of our liberties. Get educated.
