A job isn't a right, per se. But the powers that be have a fiduciary responsibility to the nation that the economy be stable -- and be job-rich. Capitalism is not a work program for some other nation.

If you think this is not going to come home to roost in a major way in the not-so-distant future, you are sorely, SORELY mistaken. The 6.1% unemployment rate does not include the legion that have already blown through their benefits...

If a job is not a right, then why should the federal govenment use it's powers to ensure that someone has a job?

BTW, I heard this same BS back in the 70s and 80s when Japan was going to "own America".
