‘Well, we just had another bad jobs
report. The
The
headline to this article states that there will never be enough jobs in
How
could that possibly be true?
Well,
the sad truth is that it is very hard to make a profit on an employee in the
Every
year, the control freaks that run things just keep dumping more taxes, more
laws, more regulations and more demands on employers. Hiring even a low
level employee today is very complicated and very expensive.
These
days a lot of small business owners have decided that it is simply not worth
the hassle to hire more employees. If you can't make a profit on them,
what is the point?
If
there was going to be a major rebound in hiring, we would have seen it by
now. Corporate profits are at an all-time high as I mentioned
earlier. How much more money do they need to make before they start
hiring?
But I
don't blame them. Our politicians have loaded the system with plenty of
incentives NOT to hire workers.
Yesterday,
I wrote about how Barack Obama has been a one man wrecking crew when it comes
to killing jobs. But he is not the
only one to blame. The truth is that politicians from both political
parties have been making things more difficult for employers for decades.
Today,
many employers are trying to replace as many employees as possible with
computers, automation, robotics and other forms of technology. Those are
jobs that are not ever going to come back.
However,
sometimes human labor is still actually needed.
But
instead of hiring American workers, many big corporations are taking advantage
of the emerging "one world economy" and are setting up shop in
countries where it is legal to pay slave labor wages.
So
how are American workers supposed to compete with that?
The
truth is that they can't.
Today,
you aren't just competing for jobs with your neighbors. Your competition
also includes millions upon millions of hard working people on the other side
of the globe that will gladly work 12 hour shifts in nightmarish conditions for
a dollar an hour.
The
As a
result, many of our greatest cities that were once the envy of the entire world
have become cesspools of filth, decay
and wretchedness.
We
are going to continue to bleed jobs because both major political parties are
fully convinced that merging our labor pool with the labor pool of the rest of
the world is a grand idea.
Republicans
have been brainwashed into believing that a one world economic system is
actually "conservative". They have been told that it is
"conservative" to merge our economy with countries ruled by third
world dictators and brutal communist regimes that have no respect for human rights
at all.
Democrats
have been brainwashed into believing that merging our economy into a one world
economic system is "good for American workers" and will bring more
prosperity to this country.
Barack
Obama is even negotiating a treaty right now that would
reportedly ban all "Buy American" laws.
How
stupid can we be?
If we
merge our labor pool with the labor pool of the rest of the world with no
protection, guess where our wages and our standard of living is going to go?
The
answer is obvious.
The
"giant sucking sound" that Ross Perot warned us about so many years
ago has become a reality.
It is
just basic economics.
If I
go to the store and I see two similar products and one is priced at $10 and the
other is priced at $100 I am going to go for the one priced $10.
Well,
it is the same thing with employees.
Meanwhile,
our control freak politicians continue to shove more jobs out the door by
piling on even more taxes, rules and regulations.
Unfortunately,
these trends are not going to change. It doesn't matter who gets
elected. The bleeding of jobs is going to continue.
In
fact, we should probably be celebrating that things are still as good as they
are.
In
the future they will be a whole lot worse.
The
period we are in right now was supposed to be the recovery. During the
last recession the percentage of working age Americans with jobs fell
dramatically. Since the end of the recession, that number has stayed
remarkably flat....
Now
the next major downturn is rapidly approaching.
When
it hits, the unemployment rate is going to go well up into the double digits.
At
the moment, our failing economy is being propped up by unprecedented amounts of debt.
When
our debt-fueled false prosperity ends, the true horror of the decay of our
economic system will be revealed.
If
you think it is hard to find a job now, you just wait. What is coming is
going to be a total nightmare. As I have written about before, many years of pain are ahead.
But
that doesn't mean that you have to lose hope.
On my website,
people often share how their lives have been absolutely devastated by this
economy. Some of them are even so down that they are considering giving
up completely.
But
that is the exact wrong response to all of this!
The
reason why I try so hard to explain what is coming is so that it will not be a
surprise to people. If you make plans and preparations now, the times
that are coming will not overwhelm you. I believe that there will be
people that will be greatly blessed even in the midst of what is coming.
However,
millions of Americans that are not listening to the warnings now will have their lives totally
destroyed by what is coming.
The
world is changing. Nothing is going to stop that. The unprecedented
prosperity that we have been rolling in is going to shrivel up and go away.
But
that does not mean that your life is over.
In
fact, if you get yourself physically and mentally prepared for what is ahead
the times that are coming can be the greatest times of your life.
One
of my goals is to give people hope. There is hope in understanding what
is coming. There is hope in being prepared. There is hope in being
a light in the middle of the darkness. There is hope in being willing to
love people in the midst of a world that is going crazy. The following is
from a comment that one reader left on a recent article....
I
wanted to thank you, the author of this article, whoever you are. I haven’t
completely ruled out killing myself but you’ve certainly given me something to
think about. And thank you for trying to give people like me a little hope. A
little kindness, even if only through words, is at a premium these days
especially in my life. I will think carefully about what you’ve said. Best
wishes to you and your efforts. God bless.
Everyone
out there that is in a similar position - please do not ever, ever, ever give
up.
No
matter how bad things look right now, there are people out there that care.
One
thing I have learned in life is this - there is always a way that things can be
turned around.
Sadly,
in the future a lot of Americans are going to give in to despair and will completely
give up on life. We saw it happen during the Great Depression of the
1930s and we are seeing this in
But
the truth is that your life is not over no matter how bad things get out there.
You
can let the times that are coming destroy you, or you can make them the
greatest adventure of your life.
The
choice is up to you.
I
urge you to get ready, to get more independent of the system and to start
focusing on the things that really matter in life.
