B.S. Jobs

Listen to the "Two Month President" speak about jobs for the future and it's dullsville. Take a stab at the ones, according to him, that will make us economically sound; those that will get us back on the right track? Well, if you've been paying attention they are, in no particular order, solar panels, wind turbynes, ethanol and, and, and----I can't remember the other. The reason for this is that they are benign jobs, non controversial; not exciteable; the same as "shovel ready jobs". In other words, "crap jobs"!
A few weeks ago Obama made a special trip to Denver, on your dime, to tout a small business solar panel company. What the MSM failed to mention was that this outfit was a damned commune: everyone, from the owner to the pencil sharpener, received the same wage. Every worker had the same company decision-making input. Everyone dressed like hippies. It was exactly what the Messiah was looking for; a benign, non-competitive operation. Solar panel jobs will be as popular as electric cars.
Yes! That was the other job that skipped my mind. When asked, "do we need electric cars", a great many will say we do. Electric car statements are also "benign statements.
Here's what you should think about electric cars: "Gosh, I wish I had one. Wouldn't it be fun to drive 40 miles then plug it in for a re-charge, then wait 24 hours so I could do it again"? Folks, if you ever think Americans are going to give up SUV's, well, think again. Cars in this country define a person's identity. If Americans could, they'd copulate with their vehicles. It's been this way since Ransom Olds yanked on his first throttle.
As much as I love Iowa and Iowans they've been duped like never before. Their own congressmen have fed them a a barrel of compost so big it's going to take years to recover. Those people have been led to believe that ethanol and wind turbynes are life savers for consumers and employees. Ethanol plants are shutting down faster than a 1,000 year old man on life support. It costs more to produce a gallon of fuel than to make a profit. Did I write that correctly? It would be like me working for a company and when the day was over I paid the owner money so I could come back the next day. Wind turbynes; the same thing. Initial cost for one of those 'bad boys' seen all over Iowa and Illinois farm fields is $75K. After six years refurbishing is required and that averages $21K. Did I mention that the wind has to blow continuously at 20 mph to have any positive effect? Wind in Iowa in summer, maybe. Humidity--always.
I retired two years ago from a company dealing with "rust belt" operations that caused this nation to grow and thrive: steel mills, refineries, paper mills, etc. In the course of nine days, within a thirty mile radius of Kalamazoo, Michigan eight paper mills shut down. This was in 2003. John McCain said it in the last election but few paid attention and those that did didn't want to hear it. "These jobs are never coming back," he said. The union mentality says, "There is no jobs".(my grammatical insert) What the American should be saying is, "I'll educate myself to qualify for a better position. I'll move to another area of the country where productive and necessary jobs are available". As I recall this is what brought so many of our ancestors to America in the late 1800's. Companies are going to zones with warmer climates and they are going to Europe. Businesses are relocating to countries with lower tax rates that induce the growth of business. So, what we have left are small businesses, 70% of which make this country productive. The problem is, the Obama government wants to destroy them with excessive tax rates and 'green' restrictions. In other words, they'll support companies that are 'snoozer' companies. Ahem! Did I mention solar panels?
