A Monday Morning Thought

It's quiet, very quiet, cold, no cars, no TV yet, and a thought came to me, before I put the coffee on. Why do we need to create so many jobs? That's all  you hear, job creation. I got to wondering, what do we need to be produced.

Walmart is full, Krogers is full, Meijers is full, went shopping yesterday, and Kohl's was full of product, so much so they were having big sales. II don't think there is a shortage in the auto industry.

If Barack, or someone, gave me a ton of money to start a business, a manufacturing plant, a farm, something, I don't know what it would be. There are more cell phones than there are people, I hear. Just where and what would be have all the unemployed do?

Maybe we don't need any more jobs. If we bring back all those jobs that have gone elsewhere, and produce all those products  here, instead of China or Mexico, we probably couldn't afford them. And if we brought them all back, those countries would become a problem and our government, in its infinite wisdom, would have to bail them out, so monetarily, we are back where we started.

I got an email the other day that cited many stores and products, that if you look around in a store, you can find something that is made in the USA that would be equal or lesser in price, IF you just check a little.

If the present work force, around the world, is supplying the needs of the majority, what to do with those who are not working?

What steps do we take, to put the unemployed to work, to supply those  in need? Remember too, that those in need have no means to purchase the products they need, to compensate the unemployed for their labor.

Create jobs, to do what? Put the unemployed to work, to do what? Technology and "progress" has eliminated many jobs. It now takes less people to do more work, that creates a problem.
