Obammas #s do not include the millions of high school grads every year entering the work force that can not find work and do not qualify for unemployment. They do not count the millions who can no longer qualify for unemployment cause they have been out of work for so long. When will our government (all of them) come clean with the real numbers? When will they stop lying to WE THE PEOPLE.
Lately Obamma has been talking to many of the tech leaders to try to create more jobs. Is he crazy? They can not and will not be millions of jobs in tech. He should be talking to industry! And before people blame unions, consider this, how can we compete with other nations on the price of goods when they don't have to have child labor laws, safety and emissions inspections, and all the other regulations we put on our industry. The only chance we have to do that is trade tariffs. The free trade deals with China, Mexico, and Canada need to be ended with tariffs imposed on them. This would create huge revenues we desperately need and also equal the playing field for our industry.
Most people do not think of this either but we also need to stop selling our natural resources abroad. Or at least tax them very heavily. Countrys like China are buying out raw lumber and other resources for next to nothing and then making cheap crap to sell back to us. We can make that cheap crap here.
I shall fear no retals,
Cause i have the biggest, baddest, and toughest country in the valley!
