The government doesn’t need anyone “putting people back to work”. If they want people to work the method is clear and has worked well in the past. Cut taxes, cut spending. Eliminate Corporate Income taxes(personal also). This will give the companies the confidence to start hiring, the stock market will go back up, and not in some false rally such as we seen of late. This will take time, the damage to our economy is already heavy. The federal reserve should be dumped also, we don’t need a repeat of the housing BS that started this mess. No more loans to people who can’t afford it. All this can be done with minimal government interference and without a specially appointed person to “get people back to work”. Get the EPA out of our lives, pass a few common sense enviro laws and quit placing every animal, bird and fish on the endangered species list. Turn the water back on in CA, do you realize how many jobs have been lost just by that one act alone, not to mention higher food costs and, eventually, food shortages.

Very well said. Let’s hope those who do the cutting of taxes and manage the endangered species lists and manage the Federal Reserve will hear you and create an environment that entrepreneurs and risk takers will create jobs for those seeking one.

It might not be one person, but there’s definately a group of folks who have stifled job creation.

I recently drove from L.A. to the San Francisco area on Interstate 5. The drive takes you through the great San Joaquin Valley with its farms and orchards. Well, for about 200 miles, where there was once fertile land and all sorts of crops growing on either side of the highway as far as the eye could see, there was only dirt. Every mile or so you would see a yellow sign next to the road that said, "Congress Created Dust Bowl". Other signs said, "No Water, No Jobs, No Future".

I drive this route visiting family up north about twice a year, and I was shocked to see this. Last December there were crops galore. Now there are two hundred miles of dirt, because the federal government took away the farmers' water. Incredible. I'd like to know what the deal is!
