So Now The Focus Needs To Be On Jobs...

[rsmith6621]

Obama gave the wealthy what they wanted and our children and grand kids will be paying for it for years after we are bones and dust...

Now that that is done it is time for us to focus on JOBS and JOBS and more Jobs....It is time for us to address how we will handle company's that outsource jobs overseas without creating a new job here first....we also need to work on LEVELING the playing field on trade between the United States and China....

If 2011 isn't about JOBS and JOB creation many of us are going to be looking to further reduce our lifestyles and make new housing arrangements.....THESE JOBS HAVE TO BE GOOD PAYING LIVING WAGE JOBS....not more WalMart.

1. No worries. The Republicans will be all over it.

John Boehner told us so.

3. Like Orange on Circus Peanuts. Or something.

BOHner couldn't get "2" if you spotted him the "1 + 1".

2. It is nice to expect jobs and jobs and more jobs ...

and it is wonderful to expect substantial, full-time positions with benefits. In fact, I think the PTB really wants a good number of people to dwell in that limbo as long as is possible. It will help to forestall any serious or uncomfortable backlash outside of the usual, wealth-serving political system.

Some of us can't seem to see anything tangible when we ask, (and look for) the what, how, where, why and when questions on the employment issue. How do we create jobs when the consumer economy has pretty much gone belly-up? The circle has been broken and it is hard to believe that this was not foreseen or obvious by the producers of goods and services.

Shhh. Don't tell anybody, but the rats have been leaving the ship for emerging markets in China, India and anywhere else you can squeeze more out of people. Americans get to see what profit creates when it comes to the value of individuals/humans. The prevailing view seems to be that there is no profit in altruism so, there will be none practiced here or abroad. Remember that humans are considered by business, (Owners) to be resources and so, we are, in effect, like anything else that is used-up, exploited for something, then tossed on the purportedly infinite trash-pile. We simply breed a means-of-production product, not children. Though it is cold and heartless, that is currently the prevailing paradigm.

It seems plausible that there will be a growing underclass and that those folks are to be written-off because, well, it seems more profitable to those who matter most in our current culture. What if we realize that to the the case and are left without assumptions and hope?

8. We already have a sitcom about an industrious young man going to India to work in a call center

Doesn't look like we are in shouting distance of challenging the establishment to do much of anything about jobs unless there are some race to the bottom ideas you are ready to argue as progress or "getting stuff done".

Where do any actual fixes come from? Hope that tax cuts and austerity create "confidence"?

We are ideologically opposed in about every way to any change in the way we essentially conduct business in both parties to any action or policy that would create broad prosperity.
