Why there are no Jobs in America Porter Stansberry explains why there are no jobs in America by clearing up or simplifying the American governments’ inability to stimulate their own country’s economy by mocking them. He tries to get to the point that the government continuously sucks every last dime out of the American entrepreneur‚ which in turn leaves the American economy all dried up.
