Thom Hartmann is about as stupid as they come. Whenever I want to listen to someone who uses himself as his own authority, TH is the one with which to listen.
What Thom conveniently and consistently misses is that while demand for products and services might create jobs, unless someone is willing to invest capital to create the product or carry out the service, all the demand in the world won't do you any good. He just says you need demand and capital is insignificant. But, he's stupid.

Yep, but since not many people have the first good clue as to how the food in there local grocery store "magically" appears there, we have DUmp monkeys. It fits in neatly with their two other idiotic theories. The first that the wealth is limited, when it is not in terms our minds can understand. The second that anyone who makes a profit from an employees work is a thief.
My FIL never finished high school. He owns a cabinet making factory now, and he owned painting company in the past. I'll bet he knows more about how the economy works than just about all the DUmmies put together.
