have also lost jobs and livelihoods. Just ask the millions of women and me who worked in telephone services, linemen, operators and others. Just talk to a few men and women of the thousands who lost jobs in sanitation, parking lot attendants, supermarket and bank cashiers. People need to get a grip and understand that this nation and other nations are NOT going back to the way things used to be. Your problem are with the billionaire oligarch who now find it more profitable to just hand money around among themselves, built high tech business that require little or no real workforce. Large sections of the building industry are now prefab and even the building industry requires fewer workers and especially highly trained carpenters and bricklayers. Even the infrastructure we are about to fix up will require far fewer jobs as automated toll roads and modern road materials require less maintenance.

The con is right about creating Apprentice jobs but his plan is not inclusive and not far-reaching enough to make major impact for a long time. The two main industries that will produce the most good paying jobs are the two industries that the GOP and its RW bigots are trying to kill off: green energy and healthcare.

We are not doing a good job of messaging!
