Draggingtree Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Human Events: Creating the jobs of yesterday, tomorrow! By: David Harsanyi 2/13/2013 06:06 PM Does it bother anyone else that the president of the United States seems to believe that our collective future entails assembling battery parts in a government-subsidized factory for $9 an hour? Is that really what Americans envision for their kids — an assembly line? Because when you look past Barack Obama’s mesmerizingly hollow rhetoric, what he’s proposing is a return of jobs that progress and prosperity have left behind. In his State of the Union speech, the president laid out a vision that we’ve heard countless times. In his world, billionaires and their high-powered accountants are sticking it to the middle class.

Valin Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Real Clear Politics: David Harsanyi February 14, 2013 Does it bother anyone else that the president of the United States seems to believe that our collective future entails assembling battery parts in a government-subsidized factory for $9 an hour? Is that really what Americans envision for their kids -- an assembly line? Because when you look past Barack Obama's mesmerizingly hollow rhetoric, what he's proposing is a return of jobs that progress and prosperity have left behind. In his State of the Union speech, the president laid out a vision that we've heard countless times. In his world, billionaires and their high-powered accountants are sticking it to the middle class. It's a place where wealth is static and one person's success always diminishes another's fortunes. The president explained that "it's not a bigger government we need but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-based growth." (Snip) But the problem isn't a lack of manufacturing jobs. It's that, by almost every measure, the entrepreneurial class is shrinking in America. Democrats may romanticize massive collective national efforts of the past, but individual risk and unexpected innovation are what change the world. The last thing we need is another crony "manufacturing hub." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCTexan Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 The Administration's "Green Jobs" programs appear to be working as expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The president explained that “it’s not a bigger government we need but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-based growth.” Many news accounts of the SOTU focused on the first part of the president’s contention, not the second. “Set our priorities”? So Washington is not only regulating safety and keeping an eye on big banks and making things fairer but also planning the economy now? Seems like an awfully outmoded way to approach a dynamic and unpredictable world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollyannaish Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 THANK YOU! I'm so glad this was posted. The rhetoric from the president that I have heard in clips from the SOTU has made my job drop. I'm now working in a high school environment and there is not a student there who wants his or her future to be assembly line manufacturing. Are you kidding me withy his crud? Really? Good grief.
