Barack Obama says he wants to create new jobs. Job creation is not necessarily a good thing.

From 2000 to 2007, says the New Jersey Business & Industry Association, the government added 54,800 jobs. To put that in proper perspective, that works out to 93% of all jobs created in New Jersey over those seven years. (LINK)

These jobs cost tax payers. When you consider that many government jobs have lavish benefits including retirment benefits, the cost to the tax payer will continue for years. New Jersey needs to cut taxes and expand the private sector. That is unlikely to happen with Democrats firmly in control.
