Gov. Beverly Perdue says a new series of signs saying “Jobs Now” will promote construction projects funded by federal stimulus dollars.
Since these jobs can be funded only by taking resources out of the private sector that would have gone toward creating other jobs, perhaps someone should develop a sign that says “No Jobs Now” and hand them out to overtaxed entrepreneurs.
Since no can tell which entrepreneurs would have succeeded in creating new jobs ? more efficiently than the government ? we’re left with another classic case of “seen” versus “unseen” consequences.
