The job situation can't get "better" just for the fact that so many need jobs, most would agree with that statement, and even in better times the US was never capable of producing jobs at home in numbers that matched those jobs being sent out around the globe, what we will see is the further erosion of wealth in the lowest classes of workers, and then draining the value of those millions held by the upper classes.

A lot has already been posted in regard to the fact that we have many in America who don't work but live off of the tax based dole that sustains them. Their neighbors look down on them as they head off to work. This disparity in work/income becomes solidified in our economy, it's easier for industry to foist off their un-needed labor on the general populace, they "socialize" the cost of their outsourcing and cost cutting, it is that kind of socialism that is pervasive in our economy. Some people have even expressed their choice of thieves to be the "private sector" thieves, their distrust of government being greater than that of the corporate welfare thugs that have recently robbed them blind.

We are headed into some kind of financial circus it seems, we as citizens playing the clowns and Wall Street and their media buddies acting as Lion tamers, soothing the savage American proletariat as he watches dancing with the stars, periodically bemoaning the betrayal of a politician who isn't doing as he said he would. Lots of talk of communism, capitalism, socialism, and all the ism's aren't the problem at all. As it turns out we can now see how the "system" really works, who it serves, and most importantly who it doesn't; Any system.

I won't be thinking about the twenty million needed jobs as much as I will be looking for signs of another huge shoe dropping in the ongoing debt for sale dilemma, people are taking this financial collapse to be some kind of "recession" because that's what the national media calls it. The problem for those who are convinced that the economy, and finance in general is subject to the same degree of repairability as their car just haven't taken the time to get on to the scale of a world wide economic meltdown and what that really means. The entire world needs more jobs, we are in a global economy now and that's the rub, we can't "fix" this economy without figuring in the rest of the worlds needs, nineteen fifties thinking won't be able to address the real and confounding problems brought on by the huge scale of our new merged economy. What "ism" are we operating under now?

I would have thought that the events of the past two years, wherein our collective wealth was transferred to the banking cartel via those we elected to serve us, would be proof enough that it won't be a top priority in DC to help the little guy out, after all, it was the collective disdain for the little guy that brought us to this point.

We need a whole lot more than 20 million jobs with the planned amnesty around the corner where 20 million or more illegals will be handed their big reward for breaking the laws, and are being told they can start bringing in their long lost family members in a massive "family reunification" program that will add many millions of people to this country. It's either jobs or a huge expansion of the welfare handout programs.

Boy ain't that the truth now, hit the nail on the head. We need a hek of a lot more then 20 million, and good luck, in finding those jobs. You know we will see a huge expansion of welfare handout's programs.

If there are no jobs, perhaps people might consider the job market before they continue breeding as if their kids will be guaranteed jobs when they grow up.

The people coming here by the millions didn't think about breeding while in dire poverty when they were living back home, and when they get here, they quickly learn they are paid to breed. Having a baby is the quickest way to welfare handouts, and of course anchor babies gets them some right to stay.
