<<however, these issues may be too complex for some, who would rather base their opinion on a sampling of their own limited experience or what they hear on talk radio>>

LOL....well, I hope they don't suddenly become too terribly complex for me. I used to make a living ghost-writing for the government policymakers on nothing but labor and employment issues --From the Nixon thru the first part of the elder-Bush Administrations. You have your frame of reference and point of view, and I have mine. No need to cast aspersion.

If we could wind the tape of time backward and be sitting in our same seats during the Carter Administration--when he poured billions and billions of tax dollars into half-baked job training programs run by marginally qualified organizations and often by crooks and embezzlers in every little town in America--I wonder what SI posters would be saying.

That so-called "war" on soaring unemployment had costs which seemed just as high then as the Iraq war seems today.
