Many jobless this Labor Day

According to the Department of Labor, Labor Day   "constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country."

Nice sounding words but they are meaningless to the millions of want-to-be workers who are being short-changed by our sick economy -- workers who cannot find a job of any kind, much less a job that pays enough for a family to live well enough without becoming wards of the government.

Manufacturing jobs have been lost by the millions and we do not know how to bring some back to our shores.  Governmental policies are largely responsible, and Obama's policies are making conditions worse instead of helping.

We need to form an elite organization to advise on actions we can take to improve our ability to compete with the world. Just for a beginning we could lower our corporate income tax and work toward producing all the energy this country needs.  If there is a way to repeal Obamacare, that would be a good start.
