RE:"The brutal fact is, there aren't enough jobs for the people that want one in this country, and there never will be again." Plenty if they take the ones the illegals took. You could always go back to driving the ice cream truck.

The brutal fact is, there aren't enough jobs for the people that want one in this country, and there never will be again. We need to deal with that. Lets start by sending the extra illegal population of workers home to Mexico - that should go a long ways to fixing the economy, health care and the jobs market. But of course our moronic president is more interested in stupid voters than helping America or Americans.

The brutal fact is, there aren't enough jobs for the people that want one in this country, and there never will be again. We need to deal with that. While there are not enough jobs today, it is awfully pessimistic to assume that there will never be again. Never is a long time. But it is a simple truth that we have to get competent leadership which will stop wasting money on bogus efforts and begin to do meaningful things to encourage job growth. The nonsense of "green jobs" is an example of what not to do. We have to find ways to participate more assertively in the global economy, and frankly, green jobs are likely to be a small part of the equation for a long time to come. There are three important things that have to happen to provide incentive for job growth: a) Eliminate the disincentives for global corporations to operate in the US by eliminating the corporate income tax and hyper-regulatory environment; b) Eliminate or severely curtail the power of labor unions; and c) Eliminate the minimum wage. These things, taken alone, are sufficient to jumpstart US job growth. There are other things that need to be done, but these are the big ones.
