I wish everyone had a job. Hell, I wish everyone had healthcare, but the question alway is, who's gonna pay for it. I'm just writing about the way things are right now. A candidate that makes themself more competitive may not create more jobs, but he or she creates a competitive advantage that just may get them hired.
There's enough work to be done, and there's enough money to pay people to do it. The problem is that the top 400 people have more wealth than the bottom 150,000,000 million. We have allowed horrible wealth disparity to occur, usually related to activities that have nothing to do with improving conditions in this country.
We have health insurance companies that pay CEO's 8 72 million dollar severance packages while refusing treatment to patients who die. Please. We spend more money than any other nation per capita and we don't cover everyone.
Again, I think both parties are to blame, because the Republicans are just fine with the wealth disparity, and the Democrats just want to pay people to loaf. Neither is good for us as a people.
And somewhere, we lost the 'can-do" spirit that built the Panama Canal, won two world wars, built an interstate highway system (that is now falling apart) and put men on the moon.
