Keith Ellison Channels His Inner Krugman
— andy

Sometimes I wonder if we could do worse by replacing elections with an American Idol-like contest to find the 535 stupidest people in America and send them to congress. This is one of those times.

Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) tells MSNBC regulations create jobs because a business will have to hire people to help them comply with the new requirement.
"I think the answer is no," Ellison said when asked if he believes regulations kill jobs. "And here is why: When we talked about increasing fuel efficiency standards, the industry responded, and they need engineers and designers and manufacturers, and they need actually more people to help respond to the new requirement."

Got that? Government diktat causing people to be hired chasing unicorns is good for the economy. I wonder why they don't just decree full employment.

Problem. Solved.

I swear, the first week of every new Congress should be devoted to studying Bastiat's broken window fallacy. Then there should be a test.

3 A jobs program hiring people to stand in front of the House, Senate, White House, and other legislative and regulatory offices to point and laugh at the clowns;

That's full employment

5 If we could only get the entire population of the U.S. back to work, filling out regulatory forms for the government, why, we'd all be fantastically wealthy and able to buy all kinds of nice things built by ... uhm ... other people in exchange for .... uhmmm ... well, you get the gist of what I'd saying, I'm sure.

They did -- The Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act of 1978 aka the HumphreyÂ–Hawkins Full Employment Act

You're welcome America.

Posted by: Spiker at October 10, 2011 03:24 PM (4t9J5)

9 Back in the heyday of the big 3 automakers, cars only lasted 100,000 miles, insuring that buyers would need a new car by the time the car loan was paid off

Then came foreign competition with cars that didn't rust on the dealer lots or need a tow back to the dealer after the first day

And if they hire blind people, they'll need twice as many. It's a win-win!

15 A leftist utopia. Get up in the morning in your tiny government housing apartment, take the train to work on your job filling out forms about trains. Take the train home to your tiny government apartment, take a shower on your designated water day, eat government approved meals, hot ones on your designated day to use electricity.

16 OT of sorts but this remark was left on the NYT article on a little encampment of the OWS called Krugmans army.

Call me crazy but does anyone else
think we would have a better government if we threw all the jokers out of congress and replaced them with 535 random people from OWS.

BTW:

The Act set specific numerical goals for the President to attain. By 1983, unemployment rates should be not more than 3% for persons aged 20 or over and not more than 4% for persons aged 16 or over,

If private enterprise appears not to be meeting these goals, the Act expressly allows the government to create a "reservoir of public employment." These jobs are required to be in the lower ranges of skill and pay to minimize competition with the private sector.

Looks like The O might miss the mark by a tad. Oopsie!

25 "I wonder why they don't just decree full employment"

They have already 'adjusted' the work force & number of jobs available to keep the official unemployment ## under 10%

Watch for further 'adjustments' through 2012 with the U-6 magically dropping to 5.6% when the September are reported in mid October.

28 Competitive businesses strive to eliminate any and all non-value-added processes. Regulations do not add value to a business' product. They just add cost and make India and China even more competitive.

Posted by: Lemmiwinks at October 10, 2011 03:33 PM (pdRb1)

29 Yeah! Why do you need to worry about hiring a person to be productive and help you with whatever product it is your producing. Just hire someone instead to be a "drain" on your company because you have to pay them to do nothing besides making sure you're not pissing off the government. Its so obvious.

47 This is a classic example of first-order thinking. What a freaking moron (hey... maybe he could hang out with us here at AoS!). Sure, you can increase costs on domestic businesses. And some of them will hire "engineers" and others to help them comply with the new regulations. Others will move offshore, believing that it just ain't worth it to keep operating in the US. Worse, there will be many, many businesses that will never BE founded because the returns on capital won't justify the initial investment.

Recall that Rep. Ellison was sworn into office using a koran. You know how he's always babbling about Jefferson owning a koran because Jefferson thought it was so great? Not so much. Beck got one of Jefferson's korans from TX historian David Barton and showed the intro pages of the batch TJ had translated and printed in the United States to explain to the public the menace we were facing.

The intro explained that our brand-new navy would be fighting Barbarians from Africa who claimed that their religion ordered them to kill anyone who didn't subscribe to it. TJ went on to call them all manner of derogatory names. He thought the American people should understand why their new country (whose founding documents didn't provide for a standing army or navy) was going to be mired in a (most likely) 35-year seige because these savages were "relentless." Jefferson and his compatriots were worried back then that the American people (direct quote) "Wouldn't have the stomach for a protracted war with Islam."

111 The downtown protest group Occupy Boston threw its proverbial doors open yesterday, and played host to supporters of accused terrorist Terak Mehanna, who are looking to raise awareness of the Sudbury manÂ’s upcoming trial. The Tarek Mehanna Support Committee came to Occupy BostonÂ’s ever-evolving tent city on the Rose Kennedy Greenway to say Mehanna, a Muslim American pharmacist, is a victim of anti-Muslim sentiment. The U.S. government says Mehanna, 28, provided Â“material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization,Â” and acted as a Â“media wingÂ” for al-Qaeda. Birds of a feather and all

204 In 1970, a Chevy Vega cost $2090 base which is about $11700 in today's Ogabe bux. (Truth is we got boned all along the way). That was pre-emission controls and 'Good Luck and God Bless' safety features. Chevy's corresponding compact today is a Cruze. MSRP is $16720 in 'eco' trim. If you bought one of each in the winter salt belt, you could expect the Vega to rust to pieces in 6-8 years with cancerous lesions showing after 3 winter seasons. That's if it wasn't already laying down more smoke than a WWI destroyer smokescreen. Truly a POS. The Cruze should last twice that long easy. There are features you don't get with the Cruze - need to replace fouled plugs frequently, need to lube chassis points frequently, need to replace points and condenser frequently, need to replace lousy engine frequently, etc, etc. And the Cruze is rated 50% better fuel efficiency. Plus 60% more HP, better handling and much better safety. So I reluctantly conclude that Ellison managed to find an example where government didn't do a bad job unlike so very, very many examples he could have cited.
I still can't stand that marxist Islamist apologist.
And he's wrong about needing more people. Cars take fewer labor hours now by far and those are as likely as not to be Mexican hours at Mexican wages.

@207: "Plus 60% more HP, better handling and much better safety."

Ok, I'll bite - how many hit points did a Vega have?

206 #207 was said Vega made on a Monday or Friday? Quality was known to decline dramatically on those two days at UAW factories during that era.

Posted by: chuckR at October 10, 2011 09:11 PM (UGxsK) But I used to be able to diagnose and fix my own car. These days, I'm dependent on an idiot light and a computer I don't own or care to purchase. I suspect the market will change this though. If I simply need a new catalytic converter, OnStar should tell me this so I don't have to wonder why the check engine light is on. I miss our Vega.

208 Wow this is soo helpful I have been trying to figure this out on my own for a long time now. Hopefully making this change will help encourage discussion on my blog.

Sometimes I wonder if we could do worse by replacing elections with an American Idol-like contest to find the 535 stupidest people in America and send them to congress.

We're way ahead of you.

215 Yep! I was agreed, I'll keep in touch to your blog.

216 Amen--I mean, PBUH--Billy Bob. Queef Al Isan sees government regulation as a job-creating engine, but his black rock heart *knows* we'll have full employment only when every business has to hire muslim experts to assure strict shariah compliance.
