I've gotten a number of Emails on my blog on job creation. All politicians are going to create "jobs." I don't think you can do that, jobs cannot be created. The "need" comes first. If there is a need for a product or a service, then a job can be created to fill that need.
For now, all, or most of our needs, seem seem to be being filled. Walmart is fully stocked, as are all of the other stores I frequent, but Walmart generally has a much larger crowd in their store. I get the impression also, that need is created through television, the TV screen seems to tell us what we need. First radio and newspaper told us what we needed and now it is the exclusive privilege of our TV sets. Boils down to TV creating our "need."
The "Infomercial" industry seems to bear that out. Only bad thing about that, all the products are "Made in China." The reason, they can't be produced economically enough to be made in the United States and be sold within that competitive price range they need.
I remember a few years ago, a morning TV show wanted to get monogrammed coffee mugs to be sold to their listening audience. The would only offer a product that was made in the US. They could not find a company to make them within the price range that they wanted to offer them.
So how are all these "political promises" of creating jobs going to come to fruition if they cannot produce a product that can be competitively sold in our country.
In some cases though, if you look long and hard enough, a product "Made in the USA" can be found and purchased, in may cases at a lower price that one made in China.
NEED not CREATE. Don't put the cart in front of the horse.
