Without Manufacturing Jobs, America won't survive

"Group shifts focus to entrepreneurship"noting that UNCG starting new programs. I’m quoting "One aimed at undergraduates, and anyone with college degree!" If you take a look around, the ‘fat cats’ in government always hire these people to make statements like "We’re putting people back to work", when in essence they’re only creating bigger goverment with no stability! It’s now a proven fact, you can get all the degrees you want, but without ‘common sense’, ‘getting your hands dirty’, and actually working in a business from sweeping the floors to answering the phones (I do mean answering phones when they ring), you’re backing up! It’s going to take more than talent! Hard labor and long hours come to mind. Looking like you just stepped off the front page of a magazine won’t be happening, so get over it!
I’ve written many articles over the years about the Heartbeat of our America! Until Textile and Manufacturing jobs are brought back to America there’s absolutely no need for government, let alone bigger government, as these were the ‘working with your hand jobs’ that used to be the backbone and stability of our country.
Let’s look at economics, my way! Fast Foods, Donut & Coffee Shops, Bars, Saloons and many more come to mind (service oriented, not manufacturing anything), but I’m trying to make a point! Leases/Rents, furnishings, heat, lights, water, and licenses/permits have to be paid whether you get a business up and running in 3-5 years or not. Just opening the doors to public, ordering food or supplies for your new business cost money. After all, there’s only so much you can charge for a cup of coffee, donut, biscuit, and manicure! This is why the overhead of these type businesses will never be profitable!
Let’s see if I can explain this further! Our forefathers worked long, hard hours using their hands, horses and crude tools. Raising and pulling cotton to put clothes on their backs, curtains, and later provide material coverings for furniture (that we no longer have in America). Using hoes and mules to provide gardens. Raising cows, hogs and chickens to provide for their families. The new type American thinks all they have to do is get a degree so they don’t have to get their hands dirty! Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but that degree is a piece of paper, and if you have acquired none of the traits, used by your grandparents and great grandparents, you’re useless in America!
The Amish Community should always be proud that they’ve maintained a world, filled with the best of everything, and to know that they’ve done all they do without destroying our earth! America needs more Amish folks and less Al Gores and big government!
