Brad Miller (NC-13) - Keynesian Fail

polifrog



Brad Miller is a Keynesian at heart and what is more Keynesian than pumping priming the economy with Census workers?

Payrolls across America increased by 431,000 in May, but
Virtually all the job creation in May came from the hiring of 411,000 census workers. Such hiring peaked in May and will begin tailing off in June.

By contrast, hiring by private employers, the backbone of the economy, slowed sharply. They added just 41,000 jobs, down from 218,000 in April and the fewest since January.
Not even the press pump monkeys can fudge these numbers.

It remains to be seen if the Keynesian take on trickle down economics through government will have any positive effect on the economy in the long run.

In all likelihood the drag imparted on the economy by the immense borrowing done by the Fed will more than offset any positive trickle down effects. Government borrowing kills the vaunted multiplier effect.
