“When the well runs dry, they will look to jobs for their water. There MUST be jobs there for them. That means getting our trade relations in fair running order and bringing jobs back to America.”
I agree with all you’ve said, but it will, of necessity, take a sea change for the “welfare class” to take jobs. “The Well” will have to go dry, and it won’t go dry from those folks willingly taking jobs. It’s going to be interesting to see if the next government has the will to throttle welfare benefits as more jobs become available.
The biggest problem here is most likely the fact that the “welfare class” has not availed itself of the abundant educational opportunities in this country (Chicago, and a few other major cities excepted).
I don’t believe the entire welfare class is against working. Some...perhaps even a high percentage fall under that category, I don’t know, but once the taste of self respect and the respect of others takes hold...and the opportunity for advancement, human nature will prevail. Much of the welfare problem will disappear with deportation as well. We also need to get rid of a lot of garbage about children can’t work and can’t even have a lemonade stand. The entrepreneurial spirit must be encouraged, not stymied. Our work ethic has to be restored from the ground up. There are too many constrictions in Europe on labor. It has been their ruination and we are doing the same thing.
