And another thing, try and find a machinist... YOU CAN'T why? se During the Clinton years the GVT controlled monopoly education system decided to stop teaching the trades and send everyone to college and transition to a "Service Economy", look what that did for us.
Why are house prices out of control? The governmnet got involved in the mortgage business, Barney and crew hauled the bank presidents in fromt of a Senate Sub-Comittee and forced them to give out loans to everyone without verifying income etc... Then Chris Dodd made the statement that the loans were backed by fannie and Freddie and didn't need to be capitalized at 20%, 2% was good enough because the loans were backed by the faith and credit of the GVT, which then created the derivative market which caused the crash...
The government isn't the solution, it IS the problem. Read von Hayek, we are on the rod to serfdom..

this represents your average conversation with a liberal/progressive though...
Jim points out that many Unions are unhappy with Obamacare, along with so much of the nation and that they want special treatment from their buddies
Spence replies suggesting that Jim has no idea what he's talking about and blames it all on some unnamed Republican
Eben then rambles on some nonsense about how this is all the fault of peak sustainable capitalism, which sounds too much like peak oil and sustainability(catch phrases) rolled up in a ball....or something but doesn't have time to elaborate
and of course....ARE YOU RICH?......
I'd be afraid to answer that these days, like putting a target on your shirt, unless you are Lefty Rich, then you are the BEST!
oh, brother  Hope and Change!

The reason you can't find a machinist is likely because they're in demand. While lower end production has largely left the country precision manufacturing is doing quite well. Companies right now can't get enough local talent. The work is increasingly most sophisticated as well, that engineering degree is a prerequisite for many jobs.

Spence, if you want to know the truth about Machinists ask Professor Moriarity
about the demand for Machinists.Unless there has been a 360 in the last year
or so it is quite the opposite of your post.
Scottw, LOL waaay to funnie.

Not only is it not yet invented, but never will be , because there will always be people who are ambitious, like hard work and all the satisfaction and self worth it brings and there will always be lazy slackerds. Human nature will never change.
Capitalism is as close to being fair as possible because you are rewarded on the basis of what sacrifices and hard work you are willing to make and do.
Socialism is unfair because slackerds benefit from the hard work of others.

Wait, I'm wrong and if I want to find out go ask someone else?
It might not be perfect for everyone everywhere, but overall demand is certainly up. The challenge many companies have is finding the right skills in the right location.

he doesn't care about the facts, he just likes to bloviate.....
had to include this definition from the Urban Dictionary because it freakin' hilaroious and perfect
bloviate
To discourse at length in a pompous or boastful manner.
A key attribute to those that sell. To pretend to understand technical subject matter and sell it to others even dumber then oneself.
the problem is a lack of those "even dumber then oneself" for him to sell to
