Millions to Be Spent To Help People FInd Jobs
http://www.wftv.com/news/18778345/detail.html

Leaders at Workforce Central Florida say they're expecting about $12 million of the stimulus money and people walking in to their offices need the help. They said, for every one job available right now, there are at least 80 people applying for it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help is appreciated.. but what good does it do to help people find jobs that are not there?

News Flash for our Political leaders... there are no jobs out there. (I know this will come as a shock to many in County and State Government) Wouldn't it make more sense for CONgress to reverse the awful tax laws that let companies take our jobs to China? A stroke of the pen is all it would take? Bring our factories and plants home...

Or what about taking that $12 Million and organizing day labor work parties. You show up for work in the morning.. work 8 hours and GET PAID. Roads, bridges, schools, parks.

As I drive down the road I see hundreds of things that need repair.. surely the politicians can see this? Instead, this week, they are installing Red Light Cameras that take a picture of your license plate and mail you a ticket.

Is there any living intelligence remaining in government these days? Can't prove it by me....

1. if the goddamned politicians forced corporations to keep the jobs here
and not outsource them to every tomdickandharry slave labour country in the world, we would see real jobs occur again. but, the politicians are sitting in corporate pockets so I doubt I will see that anytime soon.
