A new day begins as a new week begins also, and we come closer to December. Hard to believe 11 months of the year will have passed by on Wednesday. Christmas is now 30 days or less away. The buying will begin soon for presents and money will fly that many do not have. Amazingly Americans will find a way to beg, steal or borrow to buy christmas decorations and presents for one another, even though the unemployment numbers are high as hell.
Jobs are hard to find and many americans struggle to pay their rents and utilities and to eat. Sadly the economy has not perked back up as suggested it would by many people. What is the key to the American Economy?
Well, I don’t know for sure across the broad spectrum of America exactly if it is like here in Connecticut or not. Here in Connecticut we have a over abundance of blue collar factory workers and no factory jobs. When you have this problem of so many blue collar types out of work and all you bring in for jobs are white collar jobs well, it won’t work folks.
To solve this problem we need to rebuild our manufacturing base and find the positions to employ the blue collar workers or we need to reeducate the blue collar workers and make them white collar employees. But even if that is possible, there will never be enough white collar jobs to support this many out of work blue collar people.
We need innovative, intelligent, inventive people to create new products, so we can build new factories to make new blue collar jobs. You can’t let so much blue collar talent just die out, can you?
As we close in on December and the Holiday Season begins all over again, I only wish and hope things will change. Although I must admit I have a doubt it shall change because Americans pulled the rug out from under the current administration by elected back into office the opposing political party and giving them control of the house. All you have done America is now create gridlock in Washington and nothing more shall be done to make any progress now. But like one person said long ago, you can only lead a horse to water you can’t force it to drink!.
