'OBAMA: "The plan that we've put forward will save or create 3 million to 4 million jobs over the next two years."'


                Here is what I see that is wrong with that. If the government spends $100,000.00 to creat one $30,000.00 job, the tax payers would have been better off for the government to have simply give the person the money.

                There is something totally upside-down in the entire economic structure, it seems to me. I think the people in charge are too narrowly focused. They should be looking at ways to improve the average citizens lives. Jobs might not be the answer.

                One of the problems is that during The Great Depression and WWII, we went off on the track of tying health, retirement, and other benefits to employment. Now that there are not enough jobs to go around, too many people are losing those things along with their job.

                There must be a better way!
