When will washington, and especially the current administration figure out that government is not the magic bullet to fix the economy? The last jobs report showed big losses in government employment levels, which isn,t all bad and certainly not a surprise. One response was to create a new agency with some stupid name like technology for america,to match what community colleges teach to what business needs.
This is so off target it bewilders me. One would assume that community colleges match their curriculum to the needs of the local economy. Is it not why they are in business? Further one would presume that the students who attend these colleges have a pretty good idea of what training skills offered by the colleges are in demand and offer the best chances for employment.
Do we really need another Washington bureaucracy to do what is already being done in the market place?This is yet one more instance in which out government believes that it can do a better job than the private sector.The government again thinks it can better chart our future than we can ourselves.This administration has no idea what is happening in the real world.It has no faith in the free economic system,no faith in individuals making good decisions for themselves,and thinks the profit motive is evil and destructive. This is really no surprise.The current administration cabnet and advisors have no real world experience.Less than 7% have no experience in the private sector as compared to an average of 47 % in all previous ones.That means that the misguided idiots making decisions for us have never had to meet a payroll, punch a time clock,join a union,or actually perform a job where performance actually mattered and poor performance resulted in unemployment.And they have spent their life spending other peoples money.
