1. Teh world has changed! You can't get a job as a student and work your way thru college.
That's OLD ECONOMY!

We need to export NON-manufactured goods,

stuff like media that executives can own and get paid for after it's sold.

2. Yep, but people would like you to forget the wiped out 401ks
or the pensions that no longer exists. Or the jobs. Or the price of everything going up. Or the last real wage increase. At least we know SS is safe until another slobbery group of corrupt assholes get in charge and try to derail it. I noticed Obama did NOT go that far.

3. We have to be innovators. But he got 250,000 jobs from India,
if you're willing to stand in line for 6 months, depending on how long the entire nation's unemployed show up.

And around 50,000 more from Korea.

If you don't have a petulant Republican governor & high-speed rail will come to your area, there will be additional jobs in your area. Same criteria with infrastructure construction: providing you have a participating governor, even more jobs.

Corporations will get even lower taxes. If the CEOS forego their fat bonuses, the money saved with lower taxes will go toward job creation.

Other than that, you'll have to be innovative. These days are different. No more factories where you work until retirement, then take pride in having your child work at the same workplace.
