Angela Merkel urges company chiefs to hire more refugees to reduce the number relying on German state handouts

Angela Merkel urges company chiefs to hire more refugees to reduce the number relying on German state handouts. This is how her brain doesn’t work. If you hire reduce the number of refugees on welfare then you’ll increase the number of Germans going on welfare. She’s either that stupid or that evil.

  • typical of politicians in general, she is not just clueless in Econ 101 - she is clueless in Intro to Econ 101.

    No, jobs are not a zero sum game. If you hire one guy, it does not necessarily mean someone else loses a job. But at the same time, it's not like hiring is done for the sake of hiring. She apparently thinks, as do all liberals, that companies make jobs as a public service - basically like the gov't. The gov't makes jobs without much regard for what is being produced, does it need to be produced, is there a demand for that service, etc. She thinks there is an endless well of money that the company dips into to pay employees, and of course, they prefer to keep that pay low so they can keep more of that money from the well for themselves.

    There is no connection made between jobs and basic economic principles of supply and demand, production and the value thereof, and exchange of money for services.

  • Angela Erkel..."Did I do that?" She is cut from the same dumb shit cloth as her friend Hildabitch.

  • She could be evil, but she probably thinks business people can afford to hire and pay both, so I vote stupid.

      • No common sense, whatsoever. I agree that globalism is the root of most of the lefts stupidest ideas. With the global leaders it's not as much about stupidity as it is control.

      • People on the left look at jobs as alternative welfare programs, rather than means to production.

  • I think at this point Merkel is just looking at the native Germans and wondering, "Oh, are you still here?"

  • Wait just a damn minute. Hire the freeloaders and deny those who are citizens the opportunity to have a decent job. Seems on Angela has been to one too many beer halls. Didn't the Germans try that once in their very decent past?
