Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

There should be some truth in advertising requirement applied to political slogans. For example, what is “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs” supposed to mean? At face value it might seem that the slogan is about promoting a higher rate of employment. On closer examination, it seems the slogan is more about private sector employment and less public sector employment. If one happens to be employed in the public sector (I guess this apples to me), one might take offense at the probable misrepresentation. Evidently, one way to boost the general economy is to cut jobs in certain sectors. One of these sectors is public education.

It turns out that the mantra is more about employers than employees. Perhaps the politicians should chant “Profits, Profits, Profits” – this request might better reflect a  position that generates the campaign contributions.
