According to the latest statistics, 14,900,000 Americans are still unemployed. This is a shame on this country for a number of reasons. But to me the most disgusting thing about this vast number of people who can't find a job is that we have so much work that should be done in this country. Our highways and bridges are falling apart. Driving over 50 miles an hour on most highways is dangerous. Our cities and especially public schools are in decay and in need of serious work. Our airports are overloaded and we need more built. The FAA radars are obsolete and need up-dating. We don't have enough air controllers and the ones we do have are over-loaded with too heavy a workload. Our aircraft are getting old and need replacement. Our railroads have almost faded away and tracks in dis-repair. We have no up-to-date high speed rail. Our manufacturing jobs and capabilities are disappearing fast because of free trade policies. Our manned space flight program is almost gone due to excessive spending on other frivolous programs. Our borders are not secured. The fence on the southern is not completed. There are not enough border guards.
What is holding back work? Why can't people do some of the work that is needed? There is only one answer. Stupid politics by both political parties who have miss-managed this country for years. You say, but that's not the capitalist way to put people to work on government projects. But we already have a socialist government so what is the difference? The work still needs to be done whether it is done by the government or private contractors, there is a lot of work that should be done and there should be plenty of jobs!
Write and call your Congressmen and let them know that they are not doing a very good job.
