Obama's solution is to pour more money into education,

Our service industry jobs scenario has come full circle.
We've bought everything there possibly is to buy from China,
including glass windows going into the new world trade center
and mold laden sheet rock for overpriced new homes.
We need industrial jobs w/manufacturing HERE.

The lowest unemployment rate of 2.50 in 1953 can
be attributed to many things including a housing boom
and manufacturing. But the average unemployment
rate has been around 5.7 from 1948 and on.

Unemployment got lower over time under Reagan
because he doubled the size of government and
private sector had lots of burger flipping,
low paying jobs. Reagan also had Star Wars

Unemployment during Clinton was good because of
the Dot.coms and explosion of new money
in the stock market and the internet.

Low unemployment during SOME of Bush Jr years
was because of the "artificial housing boom"
which created the "housing crash" which created
much of the unemployment we now have

Now,

if we could create another "artificial housing boom" and
get the value back on homes we bought.
If we could have another Dot.com of sorts.
If Obama started another Star Wars program.
If, WE GOT OUT OF 3 plus WARS and counting.
If we brought back the steel industry that Reagan
allowed to falter.
We just might get out of our unemployment doldrums.

But, your right. We are doomed.
None of that will happen again.
Better pack up and head to New Zealand Not
because they have that hot of an economy, even
though their unemployment rate is around 6.6
It's because it's a nice place to get away from it all.

OR

JUST LIFT THE PROHIBITION ON INDUSTRIAL HEMP and
see the largest surge in our economy since
the first gush of oil from an oil field, the first Dot com.
the first track housing after World War II, the first...

Industrial Hemp is what will set this country free.

The Raw Story | Reps Paul, Frank introduce bill to legalize industrial hemp

Ron Paul Backs Industrial Hemp Farming Bill

Dr. Ron Paul introduces it every year....once again no one listens ....

Legalize the growing of industrial hemp NATION WIDE
and it will bring America out of it's depression...
even if you can't smoke it


Vote Ron Paul 2012
That would help greatly too
