You people that think the government is controlling the economy need to pull your heads out and take an economics course. The government has very marginal influence on the economy in general, (prices, jobs, etc.) through Federal Reserve policy and governmnet contracting. It is all about supply and demand. If there is no demand for the skills or products you supply, then you go hungry. Sorry, just simple economics.

Maybe it feels better to blame the goverment, but that ain't gonna change anything. In all reality it is just deluding yourself into a clueless fantasy.

That's not entirely true. Government is usually an obstacle to businesses operating efficiently and profitably by imposing asinine laws, rules, and regulations. The Government can also kill the upward business cycle by taxing the hell out of businesses. I'll agree that the Government cannot create jobs, in the private sector, but it certainly has the ability to impact businesses so that jobs are lost. Of course if you know this, then the likes of Hillary and Osama can't piss on your leg and call it rain. The Government that governs the least, governs best.
