[QUOTE="Bestoutwest, post: 1469769, member: 19397"] I hear what you're saying. We have a whole segment of society that has grown up dependent on the government to provide. However, I sometimes wonder if that's a product of the government's overreach or the fact that we have no basic manufacturing jobs. I know you know people that will be able to mentally handle a job as difficult as pushing a broom in a factory. If there are no factories, this person has no job. Now, the argument of that person getting paid $17/hour+healthcare+retirement is a whole other argument. But I think that there's several problems at work here: 1) corporations have been too easily allowed to move operations overseas. 2) workers were demanding too much money for not that difficult a job. This is probably the worst one. 3) we're training our children to rely on technology to employ them when there are still tons of jobs in demand, making good money, that use their hands (welders, construction, linemen, etc), and we don't have the skilled workers we're going to need in the next couple of decades.
