How so? Ant sounds perfectly rational and looks to be someone that has a very well running business and well compensated employees.

Yeah, I'm a terrible person for creating high level programming jobs and training for vets who can't get proper support from the VA and other organizations created by your ilk. Didn't you go bankrupt or something before?

I'd probably propose some kind of program that funnels money into the things you mentioned (plus more tech job training, sales training, etc.), but maybe with other kinds of incentives for the rich so that they'd stay in the U.S. and actually want to pay into it.

Okay so I've never really looked into it to see the numbers but there is always that fear mongering statement that the rich will just leave and we don't want them to do that. It's so not true. The same thing happens on the state level and that's how especially in NY state larger businesses are able to get huge tax breaks like a PILOT for 30 years and leave the residents in the area left holding the bag with increased property taxes to big up the slack of the rich "job creators". **** that.

You train vets? Can I get a job?

Training covers a few key languages plus website development.

It is spending itsrlf that then creates jobs, it is spending that is the "engine" behind the economy. It is workers that do the work of circulating money thus driving the economy

The "means to obtain" wasn't always money though. For a long time goods were simply exchanged for other goods (barter and similar systems). But creating an "economy" was still possible for innovators if they, for instance, started farming more of a specific vegetable, rice, etc. or managing a local water source and then scaling out the infrastructure of delivery.

Therefore, spending facilitates continued job creation and growth, but initial job creation didn't require it.

Anyway, we're way off in the weeds. We need to be talking about Donald Trump and his magnificence!

I'm definitely going to pass this on to other vets that I know through the VA that would jump at the opportunity. I was partly joking but that's a great thing you are doing. If I wasn't so busy trying to get my two businesses up and running I would apply.

I'm not so strict about my thread. It's fine to go off topic. I made this thread for discussion period. Yes, it was mostly to talk about Trump's cabinet choices and educate about the different departments but discussion is healthy in any form so feel free to proceed.

I know what you mean. I'm talking to investors over the next few weeks on two different projects in the shipping and oil / gas industries. So besides this program I've had my hands full since the start of the year.

What's everyone's thoughts on Buzzfeed's bogus dossier?
