OK, I will help the government out here.

The article says the 21 million new jobs need to be created. There are perhaps 15 million illegal aliens in the country. Let's assume that 10 million are working.

So, Step 1: Deport all illegal aliens.

We have just found jobs for 10 million Americans. 11 million more jobs to find.

Step 2: Put a tariff on goods coming in from all those countries with unfair trade practices (yes, that would be China). At the same time, make it easier for American businesses to expand.

Less Chinese goods will be sold because now they are priced higher. American factories will pick up the difference.

The chart below shows the impact of legal immigration. We are adding 9.3 million jobs thru immigration. Why do we continue to bring in such numbers? And when you consider that there are 8 million illegal aliens in the workforce, is it any wonder that we can't keep up with the number of new jobs needed?

If these trends are not altered, by government policy and by the choices American citizens make, then Social Security could actually generate actual “generational” warfare - at least in terms of public policy debates and actions. Why?

The current, and exponentially increasing, annual deficits (payroll tax contributions insufficient to pay current benefits) for Social Security CANNOT be corrected without a greatly expanded workforce that is actively employed; producing an expanding number of employed workers paying more (than is being paid today) into Social Security.

This report suggests that that may be impossible; at least in terms of job growth being sufficient for the “employed” base needed to rescue the Social Security program from itself.

In fact this report essentially forecasts a larger force of chronic unemployed and under-employed. They cannot help pay for Social Security and in fact make the problem worse by the drag on financial resources that they make on working taxpayers through the government programs established to help them.

Drastic measures are needed and no matter how correct and necessary those measures are, millions of people will be unhappy about them.

"...the market needs 1.5 million more Americans with undergraduate degrees...manufacturing, retail, construction, leisure and hospitality..."

LOL! Pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn how to get along at work with the social pathologies of the elite along the way to default.

Meanwhile, Congress is trying to figure out how to raise the debt ceiling before August 2nd without everyone noticing. Only Congress has the power of raising or cutting most spending. Each congressman has his state and locale, which states and locales want that continuous flow of money for incomes for their various offices.

And meanwhile, the peasants aren't buying, building or even driving around much.

"The unemployment rate varies widely across the United States"

That chart is really funny. The area where the unemployment rate is low is nearly uninhabited. There are almost no people in those places.

“The only way we can put everyone to work is by seriously ramping up job growth”

That’s hilarious. Did Yogi Berra write this?
