Only a few people perhaps will ever read this blog I had a few things I needed to say about our economy here in the USA.
Millions now unemployed and the homeless rate is growing. Companies are going broke.
The long term plans being put into effect in Washington will take time. The jobs that were outsourced are not going to comeback and none of us want to work for 10 dollars a day to compete with forien workforces. We should ban those products and not buy them... if they don't want us to produce it then why should we buy it? Even if we save a few bucks in so doing.
Not talking about produce or stuff like coffee.
The stemulation money sent out will be spent but much of that money will aid the economy of China and so forth, or will just be used to pay off overdue bills.
Obama will help to create new jobs in the fields of alternative energy, healthcare, and governmental jobs. But we cannot expect everyone to get onto that bandwagon relative to job searches.
Getting re-trained is a joke, why should those who were laid off go back to school when a company could just give you a days training on-the-job? Honestly, most jobs are not all that complex to learn about doing.
Of greatest importance is to find a way to regulate the rising cost of living. That should be paramount - the cost of housing, food, fuels, clothing, utilities. The basics that are needed to get by from day-to-day in a decent manner. Those all must be in conformity with the lowest wage allowed by the government. Including medical care of course.
