1. Water pipelines to California and the great plains to refill the aquifers.

3. Bridge and road repair.
4. Building salt lakes in Arizona and New Mexico.
5. EMU and Rabbit farming. Help Cargill and Tyson build an infrastructure for processing and marketing.
6. Create incentives for Orchard development and production.
7. Help establish low rate loans for hobby farms (2-10 acre family farms.)
8. Building of more Nuclear power plants.

Well, number 3 sounds good, Of course, the only reason to have workers with absolutely no experience build roads and bridges is to cut costs with cheap labor. Unfortunately, in the long run it would cost more due to having to repair/replace soon after.

Uh no. The reason to have people with no skills do roadwork is because:

1. It is a low skill job so that they can be trained quickly on the job

2. People who spent money to go to school to get a skill didnt do it so that they could spend their days shoveling asphalt into a pothole.


Apparently, you believe the people with the shovels also DESIGN bridges and roadways. Not true. So, therefore, just because an unskilled person with a shovel is asphalting a bridge doesnt mean that the bridge will fall down because they are "cheap" labor.

I guess I can understand your thinking on the inexperienced labor but I also have a problem with going the "work for less" route because it will likely bring wages down in that sector.

yep, he pretty much nails the concept of hiring....

the porchers just don't want to hear 'things' like that.....

Well, the concept of race to the bottom which you morons support will eventually hit you. Can't wait until it does and you start bitching about it. Then I will come back and laugh my ass off.

You presume that cheap labor is the finish line of the race, but the race ends when technology renders large swaths of humanity economically unemployable.
