No Jobs

Common sense should tell you that the impact is just more than people losing their jobs. Our problem is no jobs. I don't believe that the government can create jobs but I believe that they can do things to help employment. Taxing everything, from banking to tanning booths, is not the answer. Cutting taxes to allow business to grow and don't create anything that is uncertain, like the true cost of universal health care. To this day no one has seen a bill, no one has had a change to read a bill and no bill has made it to the desk of the President. All this causes business to hold back on everything from inventory to the amount of employees they keep. That is not the only thing, on the job injury goes up for a bit but then it falls because of fear of losing the job after they get back to work. We hear the the talk about making college affordable to all but with no jobs how good is a degree. They talk about re-education of unemployed people but some are of them are on the boarder, age wise, but most reeducation takes more than a few months to complete the retraining, and no one is hiring. The people at unemployment tell you, you may have to take less money than you a use to, still no one is hiring full time, maybe part time but no benefits, which is what you are really after. The biggest thing is the State, Federal and the unions officials, still get their money, make no mistake about that, they get their money, after all we would not want them to have to take a cut in salary. Through all of the bad times we have had, I can't recall any time when the politicians and the Unions, every went with out their money. As I remember, when the government did not pass the bill to keep the government running, the politicians their staffs and the Unions, got paid but no one else did, funny how that works. I guess that some politicians may be out of work come November some may be unemployed but remember in Illinois the University of Illinois, being broke itself, they still found a place for the Ex-Governor Jim Edger. Broke only when it comes to hourly wages?
Thanks
