Whenever a jobs report comes out I always ask what kind of jobs are being added. There is a wide gap between skilled and unskilled labor building in this economy. Those without the skills for select fields are being left behind to pickup jobs in the growing low-wage service sector. It used to be the case that blue collar work with one paycheck was enough to pursue the American Dream. That is definitely no longer the case. We have 50 percent of college graduates under 25 working in jobs that do not require a college degree or are simply unemployed. What we are seeing is a persistent trend that is creating a low-wage economy. The system is learning how to work around this ongoing trend. We now have a solid expansion of dollar stores catering to low income Americans. Dollar stores are also popping up in unlikely locations. That business is booming with 1 out of 7 Americans now receiving food assistance. The US has a large portion of our population working in low-wage jobs.

Well, when you have more people than jobs what do you do?

Let more people into the country and buy/build more goods overseas.
You want the answer to our economic "puzzle"? Put a HUGE tax on anything imported into the country even if it is produced by an "American" company. Even then, the import/export ratio is to be no greater than 50%.

Instead of taxing petroleum fuels, which drives up the price of everything from toilet paper to labor costs, focus taxes on unnecessary items like vehicles above $40k and fast food.

Next, instead of gun control lets focus on BORDER patrol... Anyone who has lived here less than 50% of their life goes back home.. How can you decrease the unemployment level while increasing population?

Vote for me. I will fix this country!

People that earned their money know its value.
Why spend $1.59 for a Coke at 7-11, when you
can get it at the Dollar Store for... well... $1 ?
