Lost Jobs

[Sam]

Well, in a few weeks we'll have another election so we're being inundated with political ads and political talk. A lot is being said about "lost jobs." What are these jobs that have been "lost"? and are they coming back if we vote in the correct candidate?

I can tell you of one lost job. My son that worked on an offshore oil rig was a victim of our Socialist Presidents attempt to cripple the oil industry by imposing that six month moratorium.

Of course he and his advisors were informed enough to know that this was in reality a multi year moratorium as once the six month one was anounced the rigs accepted contracts in other countries and are moving the rigs there.

I really hope the polls are correct and America votes to end this experiment in socialism from the Community Organizer in Chief.

If Obama worked 6 weeks and vacationed the rest of the year, jobs would return. Housing construction is very low. Population creates more housing demand every year. With rock bottom interest rates, people don't build because they don't trust the regime. Many jobs will return if economic growth interference is cut back.

They probably are not coming back no matter who you vote for.

Put in simple terms:

They are jobs making things and products. Manufacturing things that people want to or will buy. Due to regulation, tax code, and spiraling healthcare costs, those things cost less to make in other places. Businesses work on a difference between costs and value of their product. SO: For constant value businesses produce products at lowest cost possible.

So businesses are making products elsewhere. The people who have the jobs making them are not working in the US.

If you could make a product in China for a few dollars a day with little to no paperwork to keep up with or navigate your business through the staggering amount of financial, personnel, and healthcare related regulations in the US what would you (or any sane person) do?

Even I remember when everything in the household was made in the US or you could find a brand made in the US and the quality was second to none. How many of the things you buy are made there now?

Once these companies move and spend capital to set up, they don't come back. Our best export at this time? We will soon join Mexico and Nepal and Bangledesh and other countries where our people go to work somewhere else and send the money back home OR we will just tax foreign products and create an idle welfare working class.......

Capitalism (if you can still call it that) today is not what it was in the past. Many of the entrepreneurial pioneers of the early 20th century would not be successful doing the same today. Call it bureaucratic red tape, too much government intervention or simply extreme litigation. Americans feel they need an agency or division of government to protect them in the case that they use a product incorrectly or fail to read the instructions. If a kid falls off a bike, the manufacturer is scrutinized since there must have been a defect.

It's amazing we all survived growing up I even drank from a garden hose once and lived. Truly a miracle!
