There will not be now...or in the future...a President or a Congress that will return the Nation back to peak employment. Higher and higher unemployment will continue as the population grows and technology continues to advance.
It is being said that business/the wealthy are sitting on a trillion to three trillion dollars (depending who is producing the figures) and the Republicans are saying that if you reduce taxes even more they will begin hiring...and that is just bullshit.
Business/the wealthy are not in the business of hiring people...they are in the business of turning a profit...and reducing employment costs...combined with technology increases profits.
Also another way to increase profits is to reduce the cost of employment...reduce environmental requirements...and safety requirements. This has been ongoing and continues to be...by moving business to foreign countries.
The peak days of the Nation are over...they shall not return.
