President Obama: "Our economy is growing again. Our businesses are creating jobs." #ActOnJobs pic.twitter.com/kfS5SKt2od— The White House (@WhiteHouse) April 16, 2014
Regular readers of this blog will be able to identify the problem here: businesses don’t actually create jobs. In fact, the goal of a business is to be able to make as much profit as possible while employing as few people as possible.
Companies don’t create jobs. Customers do. It would be nice to have a President who helped communicate that reality to the American public.
