Well who doesn't need a job right? Ok, maybe the 1% earners aren't worried about a job so much, but why in the world are US war veterans in such dire financial straits? Like, haven't Vets paid a huge debt to society--100 fold and then some? Really, this is kind of pathetic that we ask soldiers to fight for Lady Liberty abroad, then surviving Vets come home and have to fight for day to day economic survival. Where is the honor in that, where is the homage?

From a business standpoint, sure companies need qualified workers to sell products and services. Got it...but wait, what happened to the cash from the $700 Billion Bank Bailout? Wasn't some of that cash set aside to retool and retrain displaced workers? Why in the world wouldn't Vets get priority access to those funds and services? It just seems like that goes without saying. Apparently not, as Congress is squabbling over a few measly billion (in comparison to the Bank Bailouts) for Vet job placement programs. Talk about losing site of patriotism...get it together people.

On this Veterans Day, let us celebrate the past contributions of US war Veterans but also let us contribute to the current and future economic well being of our Veterans. After all, the surpluses corporations sit on, made through commerce in The Land of The Free were made possible by Vets defending and securing this Great Land. Isn't that worthy of respect? Do whatever it takes to get Vets on the job. After all, Vets need jobs too. Happy Veterans Day!Laughing

the real problem underneath the job crisis

The job crisis in the USA is getting national attention, with the help of the Occupy Wall Street movement. At the same time, many people are still wondering what's the real problem underneath the job crisis? The short answer is -- there is no short answer. On the other hand, a summary of the major factors include:

  1. Economy: The economy in the USA is pretty mature. After reaching the mountaintop you normally have to go down the mountain to climb back to the top.
  2. Reckless capitalism: As the saying goes, "just because you CAN do something doesn't make it a good idea." Need I say more?
  3. Taxes: Taxes are way to high. Why? The tax code factors in greed, corruption and tax evasion. Basically, the tax system accounts for reckless capitalism.
  4. Democracy: It always has and always will cost more to operate in a democratic society. Deal with it.
  5. Who's the Boss?: Not the tv sitcom but in the real world. Who's the boss - government or the private sector? Everyone loves to hate giving government power, which would mean the power is in the private sector's hands. Now look at the results and judge for yourself.

Of course, there is light at the end of every tunnel, so just hang on for little while longer. In the mean time, moving to China is always an option; China is growing and hiring. let's hope China is as eager to employ Americans as we are eager to open our doors to so many other Countries. Needless to say, but the real problem underneath the USA job crisis involves many factors and it's going to take a hard push (maybe shove) to move matters along. Money mouth
