They do train people. One who refuses to get a job probably isn't qualified to discuss what businesses do and don't do.

The problem is there are still more applicants to learn how to stock shelves than there are jobs.

There isn't. That right there is the problem. We've sent what was once good paying jobs oversea's. This was one area I agreed with candidate Obama on but President Obama has seemed to have forgotten about.

There's no need to for the "right wing" to do anything, because the plain fact is, smart, energetic people from all over the world are doing it on their own, instead of waiting for a handout or being led by the nose to it, and after they self-actualize, they come here and get offered a job that no American was motivated to strive for.

Most idiotic statement in the entire world of employment/labor is "they took our jobs."

1. The job was never yours for someone else to "take"
2. Nobody took anything...you gave it away.
3. Source of all employment difficulties in this country can be found by staring into mirrors, not at immigration graphs.

If I have a job I need performed, I will seek people capable of doing it. I just had a roof put on my house. Should I have purchased all the materials and then found the nearest homeless person to train them to be a roofer, or should I have done what I did and found a licensed roofing contractor who came prepared with all the skills, tools, knowledge, etc of how to properly install and entire roof?

When your plumbing breaks, do you employ this altruism of yours and go grab the nearest minimum wage worker, and use your plumbing problem to help train them for a new career? Do you do that when you seek out a tax preparer, doctor, lawyer, realtor, etc? Every time you pay for a service, you are an employer. Do you go with people who have established skills and reputations, or do you always find the most pitiable among us and train them to do the job you require?

Wow, did you figure that out all by yourself?

Let's see just how smart you really are.

Type II Diabetes Fred the Union Lover gets paid $28/hour to run his MAZAK machine. He makes one Dyna-Widget per hour.

Vlad the Impaler in Romania gets paid $2.25/hour to run his MAZAK machine. He makes one Dyna-Widget per hour.

All things being equal, what is sale price that will yield a $5 profit?

The Dyna-Widget made by Type II Diabetes Fred the Union Lover has to be sold for $33
The Dyna-Widget made by Vlad the Impaler in Romania can be sold for $7.25

Dyna-Widgets are being sold in Poland.

So.....here's the Big Question for the people who think they're smart:

Where will Wojo the Pole go to buy a Dyna-Widget:

1] Wojo will go to Macyweicz and pay $33
2] Wojo will go to Wal-Pol-Mart and pay $7.25

Think.....think.......think......think....think... ..think......think........think......

The answer is #2

Who got the answer right?

Let's go to Round #2 of this qualify event.


Dyna-Widgets are being sold in South Africa.

Where will Marten the South African go to buy a Dyna-Widget:

1] Marten will go to Mandela's and pay $33
2] Marten will go to Zulu-Mart and pay $7.25

Think.....think.......think......think....think... ..think......think........think......

The answer is #2

Who got the answer right?

Let's go to Round #3 of this qualify event.


Dyna-Widgets are being sold in India.

Where will Rajiv the Indian go to buy a Dyna-Widget:

1] Rajiv will go to Gandhi's and pay $33
2] Rajiv will go to Hindu-Mart and pay $7.25


Think.....think.......think......think....think... ..think......think........think......

The answer is #2

Who got the answer right?

Now.....who is still so stupid they cannot figure why Type II Diabetes Fred the Union Lover lost his $28/hour job?

$5 profit from 6,000 Million people or
$5 profit from 317 Million people

Which is more?

It's just 6th Grade Math....

Some times the obvious still has to be pointed out to people.

There is a solution, but you refuse to accept it.

It's called the Laws of Economics....which are immutable.

Eliminating Guaranteed Student Loans will eliminate the Interest Inflation causing tuition prices to constantly increase at spectacular rates.

Um, wealth....not Dollars. There isn't $60 TRILLION Dollars.

Why don't you study Economics and get back to us.

The "rich" do not have $60 TRILLION.

That is obtuse and absurd.

Then you also know -- or should know -- that in order to redistribute that $60 TRILLION the value would decrease.

That will create greater demand and drive up the price of rents.

Any time you so choose to do so, you may relocate from a college town to a non-college town.

I thought you smelled like Townie....
