So? Who wants to work in a factory? Go out and get another job, start your own business, retrain and do something entirely different, go back to school and finish that degree...that's what my family did.

What did yours do? Wait for the government to support them for the rest of their lives?

The Road to Productive Wealth

The only true key to wealth lies in production. While you can increase your own wealth at the expense of others, we all become wealthier when productive resources are increased. Greater wealth for our economy lies in increasing the quantity or quality of productive resources -- labor, capital, and natural resources. This is done by investing in education, capital goods, research and development, and technology.

Manufacturing, along with mining, agriculture and construction, are the primary wealth creating sectors of our economy. When there is a significant loss of manufacturing capabilities, our nation's ability to create wealth and prosperity similarly declines. That includes you and your family, even though you may not be employed in the manufacturing sector.

A lot of people would love to have a blue collar
job at a factory. You are saying there is
something wrong with working at factory?
Now that's the attitude of the big money
liberals. The factors are going away
because of things like our pro-China policies,
were they use slave labor exports to destroy
our industries. I supposed the 13th and 14th
Amendment's should be repealed so we can compete
better. It would be great for business and profits!

My hubby was laid off last fall and just got a new job finally at half his old pay. The positions he applied for were all across the nation. We heard that often there were close to 3000 resumes for each position. It has been grueling and I expect it to be even more as we are long past our prime. Many of your suggestions require funds that aren't available to the unemployed or are too difficult due to common family situations.

Lots of unemployed college graduates who got downsized too.

Lots of people want to work in a factory. Some of them make very good money. So what if it's menial work? Some people would rather have good money over job excitement.

There is much better way. Get rich quickly and retire. You can do it by becomeing a CEO, outsourcing jobs to another country, getting a bonus for it, then when company starts to go down and you get replaced, take your golden parachute.

Way to go man!
