We need jobs, not job benefits

Drawing job benefits longer than six months becomes welfare.  Too many people are happy drawing benefits instead of working.   However, the bigger problem is the lack of available jobs for workers without skills for the jobs that exist..  This country has let itself become non-competitive in many types of manufacturing, and that, along with agriculture and mining, is the route to create jobs.

Obama's policies were wrong from the beginning.  His way is to over-regulate private industry which if left alone would create jobs>  Obama would have government provide jobs. That will only lead to more debt and fewer good jobs.

Let me give one example.  The oil and gas industry is responsible for 9.8 million jobs.  Doubling production would  make us self-sufficient in  energy,save 500 billion dollars that goes overseas,  and create millions of jobs.  Obama wants to punish the fossil fuels industry but instead give money to so-called green energy.
