Weak US job figures for May hit markets

What's hurting our job growth is the uncertainty over the European economy. It's causing our economy to slow down.

I know, we need more bureaucratic and pork-barrel spending to fix the economy by providing government services and creating jobs...oh wait, we've been doing that for 3.5 years now and the economy and job figures still suck!

We've actually been doing that for many years and we have had both good years and bad.

Eventually they may cut people's hours so that more people can have the opportunity to have a job.

Walk around your town/city and look at the roads, bridges, schools, etc. We need to address the infrastructure of the country yesterday. How both parties can allow this travesty to continue is beyond a sin, especially considering the jobs would certainly no hurt the economy.

The result of exporting a million jobs a year for decades.

It was a program to keep wages down. Full employment drives up wages.

In Germany the government gave deals to companies that would not send their work to eastern Europe, tax breaks, training of new workers, targeted education programs. What it cost was more than returned in more taxes collected, and a better educated workforce.

While it is much cheaper to make things in China, I have not seen the price of tires drop by half. We are still payng like made in America, and we lost the tax base.

The other side is we no longer need education, we can import workers for less. We do not need to raise wages, when we can import people who will work for less.

Government has played a large role in this, From the local where streets were not maintained, but government wages and benifits went up, to States that bought votes with the education budget, knowing that other States would teach people to read and write.

It was the national government that allowed factories to be rebuilt offshore,

Currently locals are offering $20,000 in incentives per job produced. That is in tax reduction, roads built, training programs, to attract companies. When they had local employers, they could think of nothing but Tax and Regulate.

Mostly they were demanding bribes because that is what government does, and they regulate themselves.

When all of your workers get traffic tickets, no water comes out of the tap, all sorts of building and safety inspectors show up, put up Cease and Desist Orders, you know your First Responders for Homeland Security want to see some green.

Call the FBI, they will report everything you said to the locals.

All failures are failures of management, and in our case government.

We could solve all our problems by Banishing them for ten years, give them a Limited Passport, no return, and tell them to Go Global, and be the world's whore out in the world.

It would break up 200 years of entrenched corruption, and make way for needed changes.

Deporting or exporting government, and people who are illegal invaders, with guns, would quickly solve our employment and wage problems.

It is not enough to vote them out of office, for no matter who gets in, the office is run by the same people. About 5,000 circulate between Government jobs, Wall Street, and Defense Contracting, that is where all our money goes.

US government spending per capita is at its lowest point since the 1950s. It would seem that this should bring paradise, shouldn't it. Moreover, much of this spending is directed as part of corrupt contracting where well-connected people skim off a large percentage, as part of the Small Government agenda. This was not so in the 1950s.
