Goverment has to take the money from working people to pay salries---private sector creates or invents things people want or need--

The government can only create jobs with private sector money that they confiscate under the guise of taxes. The jobs that they do "create" are always expensive, and badly managed. Also they are temporary.

LOL if I gave you the long answer, you would be shocked and probably ask that every fed & state govt. worker be fired. So, i will keep it short.
Private sector jobs are based on the budget of that company. Every job created is (usually) targeted to increase the effectiveness of the company. (I.E. no 3 men to do 2 men's jobs) Jobs are assigned based on different qualifications, and jobs may be eliminated based on the budget of that company sometimes without long term notice.
Getting a job with the fed govt & state (atleast very recently) meant they had that job for life. Unless they really made a lot of mistakes, they could count on retiring from that job. Often with a pension for the rest of their life.
This is what has brought down Greece, sets Britain at the edge of a cliff, and is also contributing to France & other countries with economic problems. And the United States, as well.

When the government creates a position, it takes your money away and pays them..the government produces nothing, so nothing economically is benefited,it is all drain. when someone in the private sector creates a job, that person is no longer living of fof the tax payer, he is producing, and he is now paying taxes himself, so the government has more money to work with, by producing more, more is available which also lowers price making things more available, which increases sales and stimulates growth. government jobs drain the economy, private jobs stimulate the economy.

Wow... there's a HUGE difference...
A government job does not ADD VALUE to the economy... rather it takes it away...
When an IRS JOB (and there were 16,000 created in this "health care bill") is created... it's paid for by our taxes... by YOU and ME.
Let's take this analogy:
Say a SON... realizes his DAD is having trouble paying the bills... So he goes to his MOM and says... I want to do chores this week that will take in money... SO he Mows the LAWN and re-organizes the CLOSETS, and fixes the garage door... and when he's done His MOM gives him 100 dollars...
He then gives that to his dad.
Sure... it helped getting some of the STUFF DONE... but it did NOTHING to increase the family income. The family made 1,200.00 that month... -100 given the son + 100 given the son.
The same is true of a GOVERNMENT job.
True... the FAMILY is better off.... because DAD or MOM is bringing home a paycheck... BUT, the money from that paycheck 4 cents or 40 cents or 4 dollars... came from YOU.
I think that OBAMA shouldn't be able to count:
"Government jobs" and
"Saved jobs" in his number...
Further more... I think he needs to count those who are UNDEREMPLOYED: (making way less than what they're worth, because SOME money coming in is better than NO money coming in) and
THOSE who have GIVEN UP looking for a job... because it's been too long
IN the unemployment number.

A job is a job. Given the symbiotic relationship of both private and public sector I'd say there's little difference

The government does NOT create anything. There are no commodities or services that contribute to the economy... It's a drain on society not a grower. What's more, government service jobs are paid for by the taxpayer, so again, we get screwed. What's more, the government NEVER does anything efficiently so there is terrible wastage of money.
Private sector jobs CREATE products and services that when bought add to the general revenue AND the personnel hired by the job creators pay them out of money that was earned or provided by shareholders as well as their companies profits... So the money goes back into the economy.

Government jobs are not productive, rather a drain on society by those involved in, generally, worthless activities. There are activities the government causes to create demand, for example going to war, building highways, improving waterways, etc which create jobs. These latter jobs are really created in the private sector though to build the bombs, guns, tanks, etc. and build the highways, etc. Government created jobs through these activities are usually temporary in nature though, as soon as the war is over or the project complete, the jobs are lost. Government needs to then create more demand, go to war again, build another highway; the jobs created are temporary. Private sector jobs are built on the growth of the nations economy and tend to be longer term, more stable as there is a solid foundation to support them. Government by sucking money out of the economy by taking it from investors and workers dries it up and deters growth.

When the private sector creates a job . . . . the money comes from private sources and not taxation.
When the government creates a job. . . the money comes from taxation.
Although the lines are blurred today . . . . not for profits create jobs with money that COULD have gone to taxes.
And the big bailout of 2010 . . . to save private sector jobs . . . came from the taxapayers.

There's really no difference. I've worked for the federal government, my state government, small business, and medium sized businesses, everything but really big businesses. Anybody who thinks that private businesses are consistently more efficient than government, or that there's nobody in the private sector who sits around and collects paychecks without really doing useful work, obviously hasn't got the slightest knowledge of the real world. I also know from direct experience that the money spends the same.
But that's brilliant insight compared to the idiots saying that the government doesn't produce anything useful. How would you like to try moving around if all the roads, bridges, airports and railroads built by the government no longer existed? How do you think the food that you eat, which probably comes from 20 different countries, would get to you? How do you think you would get water fit to drink or even wash in if the government wasn't building plants to clean the oceans of waste and sewage produced by hundreds of millions of people? Does it even occur to you that using the internet, which was created by scientists working on government grants, to spread the claim that the government does nothing useful shows what a fool you are?
