Jobs Are Not The U.S.'s Biggest Economic Problem

The jobless and underemployed are the clearest manifestation of the real problem, which is no coherent economic policy. Jobs continue to be shifted overseas because the U.S.'s tax policy makes no sense, while the government debt skyrockets and home foreclosures and potential foreclosures rapidly mount as many Americans are buried in debt.

Meanwhile, the U.S.'s wars are burning through lives and enormous amounts of cash, but that's not even a topic of conversation. Yet the President and his challengers are already attacking each other over jobs and making empty promises about providing jobs as each candidate claims to be the biggest job provider, except the President who blames the Republicans for the fact he hasn't provided them.

This nonsense must stop and we as a people must unite to confront financial and military problems so severe, they risk bankrupting our already insolvent nation and costing us many more jobs. Instead, what we have now is plenty of theatrics but politics as usual at a time when we desperately need "change" and a clear vision for how to attain a much greater future for ourselves and for people across the world who are directly effected by our actions.
