Wecome To Politics In America
We in the Coffee Grinder Group believe that what America needs is effective government, not necessarily bigger government.That we need our private and public sectors working together to improve the lives of all Americans. Although we feel that both the private and public sectors in any country have their strengths and weaknesses, it seems that we Americans have lost the willingness that we had in the past to make these sectors work well together. We need to find a new American way to accomplish this again, not the European way, nor following the standards of any other source, but our way! Right now these sectors are in divorce court, and because of this, the members of many factions, the children of our great country are suffering. We need to bring the public and private sectors together again to work toward a common goal, to bring our country together and restore to greatness, our American Democratic System of Government.

But will companies start to hire or will they still sit on their profits?
This is how a government stimulus can create jobs: The private sector corporations are now saying that they can't hire unless there is more demand, and have NOT said that they need more tax brakes. The public just needs to buy more goods for companies to feel secure enough to hire. During a bad recession or depression when the government steps in and creates government paid jobs, like fixing roads and bridges, the people have the money to buy more goods. A tax brake will not create job growth, because giving some corporations more tax brakes only makes them richer if they just pocket that money and not use the money for growth.If a company or corporation's bad product is not selling, a tax brake becomes corporate welfare. Conversely when a company (and their share holders) see that their product makes money they have the natural incentive to grow their business, and hopefully share that growth with their workers. A good example: Google has hired during this recession!
