Why Is This Idea Important?: Face reality politicans and get busy finding jobs for Americans.

"It's the economy stupid!"

On WYSL radio a financial guy had a woman on who said all those retired and those who lost their jobs might want to "energize their lives" and do something they always wanted. Its' a great opportunity to do so.

Let me see...you lost your job in a tight market and you decide you want to be a actress or actor. Do you think that would feed your family? Or say you retired and your health is so so. Do your dream anyway. What?

Any day now I expect to hear them say how about starting your own business (al la Kerry last campaign for President). Where's the money for that when money is tight (and an international bank wants to use it for weapons, etc.)? We get no bailouts with our own money.

Then when your business is successful and you go corporate to get shareholders some larger international corporations buys it up and moves it over seas. You lose control and your employees in your community are out of work. Your market, technology, and ideas gone to a foreign country because they are cheaper labor (without benefits and pensions). Hey those CEOs have so much money they don't need it. The politicians have pensions we pay for.

The "go back to college and get an education" is a little worn too. We have more educated applicants than jobs.

It's so easy for the rich to be comfortable and tell the jobless to find a job...lazy people!! Many politicians are rich on our tax dollars. They get golden prosecutes when leaving office for their vote.

Stop the fear mongering and false hope in a society on it's knees from poor leadership and policy. Where are the jobs, jobs, jobs?

    It's not a politician's job to find jobs for people. If politicians get out of the way, people can provide for themselves by providing for others.

    The current downturn is due to government and the fed manipulating the price of money (interest rates)and creating too much making some unsustainable enterprises seem profitable. When the bubble pops, many lose their jobs.

    Stop intervening through setting interest rates and and printing money and we would have steady to rising wages and steady to falling prices and a stable economy long into the future.

    It's the government's policy of globalization that closed plants and moved them to China, Mexico, etc. for cheap labor and no enviornmental laws. It ignored their charters to communities, workers, and shareholder. They ignored patents laws, technology stealing, and market theft. Our lawlessness lead us to this point.

    Our wars and debt have led to our money being worth less. People around the world don't want our products since we are Empire builders who kill for profit.

    They allow the Fed secret control over interest rates and bailouts.

    We the American tax payers can't afford to do what we need to do to run the country. We are bankrupted and in debt to our enemies (or friend if you are a member of the oligarchy).

    The Fed's control was never a secret. Just that most are as ignorant of the function of the Fed as they are of the true causes of the business cycle.

    So, my question is, "If government has done all this, why are you asking government to do more?"

    Government needs to do less. We need to govern ourselves and not look to a Sugar Daddy in Washington.

    martynspeck.

    Market theft is the customers, distribution, banking credibility, etc. which that corporation has built up over the years.

    The business and or products extends to many stores and companies. Trust is set up between manufacturer and consumer. You have worked for and have a reputation in the market place.

    When starting a new business you have to set up a distribution network. You have certain procedures of delivery, payment, banking agreements, which are expected by consumers.

    When old American corporations such as GE and Ford go off shore, consumers expect the same quality and reputation. It gives you a leg up in the market.

    Then there is the problem of buying up that corporation to destroy it for your own profit and business. Moslty hostile take overs do it today.

    "The Fed's control was never a secret."

    No one is allowed to attend their meeting and know what they discuss. They claim they are a private financial group so public knowledge is not needed. Forget they use our treasury and money.

    No the fact that the Fed "control" money is no secret. Control by us is.

    I'm sorry, that makes no sense to me.

    Are you saying that when a company's services degrade due to various cost cutting methods that somehow steals from their customers?

    If you want to get rid of the Fed, I'm with you.

    My main objection to your proposal is the idea that politicians are somehow to find us jobs.
