No rights without duties/remedies, so who's obligated to create all those jobs? If the State deploys an elr strategy as opposed to self-authorizing a monopoly on the creation of jobs/work and the citizenry gets agitated at the ensuing waste of time and money, and believe me there will be waste, does the citizenry get to vote for lower taxes to cut the waste? Or would there be no need for budget constraints?
