You just proved my point in your own post. You can't be a brain surgeon, an engineer or a professional athlete but you can drive a truck. You are saying that people have to move to whatever state or area where work is at? We own our place free and clear should we move to a place where we could not have a place to live. You think people should pack up and leave behind their families and move hundreds or a thousand miles away to take a job where they can just barely survive in a place where they do not know anyone? You really can be ridiculous and this is why I would not have this conversation with you once before.Not everyone can drive truck, not everyone has the ability to do certain things. You live in an area and see jobs but it is not like that throughout the country. Not all states have the same needs nor do all areas in those states have the same needs. We have gotten so screwed up at this point it will take time to fix it all.
We have thousands upon thousands of people with severe health issues and a congress that thought taxing everyone with a health care plan would fix it. It is not that simple. It may sound good but it does not all work that away.
Like I said 'you have tunnel vision'. Rush has tunnel vision. He is a great entertainer but that does not mean he can strategically put a plan that will fix everything by saying just go get a job. A few pages of ideas on this message board won't fix it either. Neither can a few college brains as they also most generally have tunnel vision in whatever their specialty is.
It's not tunnel vision, it's reality. There are all kinds of jobs out there that Americans won't do. Our company had a hell of a time finding new employees; not because the job didn't pay anything, but because we couldn't find an applicant that could pass a drug test. Apparently smoking pot is higher on the priority list than getting a job and securing a paycheck.
Not everybody can be a truck driver? Why not? I can't be a brain surgeon either, or an engineer, or a professional athlete, but that doesn't give me the excuse not to work. And if there is no work where you live, then it's time to move to where the work is. Millions of Americans do it every single year.
If you are so disabled that you can't do any job, then we have government programs for that reason. If you can't get on any of those programs, then apparently you can work, but you just don't want to.
