15. Most successful products invented and mass marketed in the U.S. are exported
around the world. If a product that is manufactured in the U.S. creates demand in other countries then it will create jobs here. If people are given money to shore up demand and all they spend it on is pizza, beer and clothes.. it won't create many jobs here. Inventions and innovation create jobs exponentially...giving money to people will increase demand but only temporarily until the money is spent. The government is not like a free energy device where you get unlimited output with no input. Every dime that is spent or borrowed has to have corresponding revenue eventually.
