I think that's a stretch...this President, this administration, his party...certainly don't have a lock on regulation--Nixon created the EPA, for Pete's sake.

This president (non cap used for demonstration of my lack of respect for him), this administration, his party have done more to dis incentivize business/work than any other in history, as well as overreach in regulation.
 
I am amazed at the amount of regulation and paper work there is from a local town to county to state to federal level all asking for fee's and paper work and compliance. It is near impossible to do it all right not because you dont want to but because while you may be a very good trashman or electrician or sub maker or ...... its hard to be that and a HR guro and a compliance expert and safety czar. even if you do nothing wrong if you dont file the proper paper work or keep the right record of it all, you are a horrible slave labor elitist that needs to be taught a lesson.

If you own/run your own business you are an EVIL CEO. Evil, evil, evil.

Stepping stone? To where? Way back when, when you went to McDonald's, it was all high school kids working there, because it was a "stepping stone". Look at the people working there today--they are adults with families--welcome to the modern world!

There's no stepping stones here anymore, they all went to China.

EDIT: Wait--you're right--those are stepping stone jobs--McDonalds is a stepping stone to working at Red Lobster, Wal-Mart is a stepping stone to working at Home Depot...

I always wonder about posts that take on poor people as if they're the problem. Last time I checked, poor people have almost no power at all as far a setting policy for this country. They don't run companies, they aren't elected representatives, they don't have organizations like the American Legislative Exchange Council working for them and they don't even vote, so it's hard to imagine how they can be the real source of this countries problems.

Sir, you seem to be blaming others for your lot in life, or you are defending what you consider the "down trodden", and are annoyed by others drive and successes.

Since my posts annoy you, may I point out that the forum has an ignore function. Feel free to avail yourself of it's usefulness.

Enjoy your day, and spread some happiness.
 
Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning. Mahatma Gandhi
 
Isn't this why the Africans starve while we (North Americans) waste enough food on a daily basis to feed the world's starving population...

Can't cut the food of fellow citizens and prospective voters now can we?

This country manufactured "stuff" before all these entitlements started. If half the people in this country weren't receiving some type of "entitlement" (love that term), there would be more competition for jobs - and costs of labor would probably go down. In fact, you could probably actually make something in this country.

The problem IMHO isn't an economic one - it's a mentality problem. There are huge clumps of cities in America where nobody works. There are government programs for medical care, food, and housing. The government is there to see nobody goes without. Well, maybe if people are in fear of "going without" they would get a damn job.

IMHO the only way to fix it is to cut them off. The labor force would increase, new workers would have earned dollars to spend and pay more taxes - and the economy would be stimulated. New jobs would be created.

How did this all work 100 years ago before all these BS entitlement programs??? Those who worked ate - those that didn't - didn't. It was pretty simple. America manufactured all types of goods. Now we make nothing and a large portion of our population sits at home each day waiting for a government check.

There's a lack of labor force in the USA? First I've heard of that.

I think the problem is people keep buying Chinese/Asian reverse engineered crap designed to break just after the warranty. Check the US GDP if you want to see the problem.

Way too many service orientated jobs and not enough production / product creation / manufacturing jobs. The labor force is there, but the trade politics and capitalest greed is superseding...

The quote below in my mind sorta covers it

I think if you check the US government' budget the handouts would be a drop in the bucket compared to everything that gets spent (military surveillance of the world's communications just to name one). I say this with confidence because, do you think someone on welfare is going to invest or even spend their check/handout outside of America? No. So it helps to fuel the economy to give handouts as it causes money to circulate and more tax's, revenues, and jobs to be generated.

I don't know why people are led to believe that the people accepting handouts (needing them or not) are the source of the problem, when we all should know that 95% (if not more) of the world's wealth/resources is/are controlled by %1 of the people (that's the problem, IMHO). If they spread the money and resources evenly there would be more than enough for all, but we are greedy capitalists and we don't care about the people/social aspect because apparently they've already brainwashed the middle class (and up) to pick on the poor. It's a damn tragedy.

I could go on and on, but the truth is I don't have a solution that would be accepted because we all want more than we need (myself included) #truth
