>> Demand leads supply. You claimed that last week, which I promptly shot down and you had no response for it. Now, you're back arguing it again and Ten has promptly shot you down. Investment and Innovation create demand. Demand doesn't just materialize out of thin air. And government doesn't create it.

CO, like I said before, you're trying really hard to separate the investors from employment. Yeah, I get it, investors don't care how many people get employed. If the company can do what it does with fewer employees and lower costs of labor, then the investors will encourage the company to do just that. But you don't get it that customers only come when the company produces value. Said value does not materialize out of thin air, nor does it materialize thanks to any action of Obama, Hillary, or Sanders. Value is only created by employees doing their jobs funded by investors. The whole process is what creates jobs. And the whole process is fueled by INVESTMENT. The source of said investment could come from investors, or it could come from customers via revenue. It's ALL investment. By the way, it's funny how you bemoan companies that try and minimize the number of employees. Sounds like you prefer companies that hire the maximum number of employees, which means a lot of digging holes that other people fill up. You know, kind of like government "job creation" programs.
