    Re: Americans not qualified for available manufacturing jobs

    Exactly! "We need to abolish the U.S. Dept. of Education." And we need to abolish the EPA and change the thinking at the U.S. Dept. of Energy. Billions-of-dollars could be saved. But somehow, this Obama Administration just does not get it.

    Just this day, Democrats in the U.S. Congress who dance to the tune of the Sierra Club and Greenpeace opposed importing heavy oil, or up-graded heavy oil via pipeline into the U.S. from the tar sands in Alberta. They called the oil, "dirty oil". In other words, these Demos just don't get it, and one might blame the failure in leadership from Dr. Chu in the U.S. Energy Department.

    The leadership from the Federal Reserve Bank is pathetic, and really, the Fed should be audited, or maybe abolished. The Fed has encouraged deficit-spending by the federal government.... So much money to be saved from down-sizing a worthless and useless and corrupt federal-government, and so little time to do it!

    The corrupt Congress that only runs on grease from lobbyists? Well, we all know what to do about that bunch in November! But then we get a new bunch of leeches in the next Congress.

    Then we have the problem with the U.S. Constitution and the engineered grid-lock in the Congress which invites grease and back-room deals. This problem of governance can no longer be ignored. The Congress no longer represents the people, just the grease.

      the data showing that a college degree means a higher lifetime income compares college graduates to all others. i'd be curious to see the comparison narrowed to non-graduates with a skill or trade.

      this is to say that the distribution curves have different means, but significantly overlap. for the adept non-studious youth, the blue collar option may well lead to a higher income.
      Some of the richest people in my hometown are plumbers and electricians who started their own businesses.

        Plumbers, electricians, pipe-fitters, oil rough-necks, contractors, machinists, ranchers, and farmers are the top income earners wherever I go. The college grads are mostly sh*t-out-of-luck. There are some exceptions to this rule-of-thumb, but not many.

        The word in Spanish for rancher is ganadero, and the word for earning is ganar. Now why would that be??????????????????????????????????????? Languages don't lie.

          Pipe fitters, contractors and machinists are short of work around here.
