I’d like Walter to outline just exactly how to save those jobs. I’d really like to know.
From what I can gather it seems his view is first we need to stop making things worse. I kind of agree that; like, if we can't agree there then the discussion's over.
I'm not Walter, but reining in or abolishing the EPA would be a real good start. It wouldn't be everything needed, but it would be a solid beginning.
Why should those jobs be saved? I'd really like to know the logic behind your question. The economy is not static. 30 years ago no one had a job in the cell phone industry, but now the cell phone industry employs approximately 700,000. Should those jobs NOT have been created?
100 years ago United Leather (made horse harnesses) was one of the largest companies in the USA - now gone without a trace. Should those jobs have been saved and should we still have to buy horse harnesses to support those jobs. Please think a bit before you post about saving jobs.
your presumption is that a job is something that can be saved
If the job does not produce a profit, then it is a liability and if it actually costs, a detriment. The presumption seems to be that a job once established is an entitlement for the worker. it is not. There is no job really, there is an opportunity to sell labor for money.
if the labor is not required, no transaction need occur
Saving jobs in the face of a rapidly changing economy is exactly what government is tasked to do. That’s why we have so many choices when it comes to buggy whips today. Thank you big government.
