WASHINGTON — With the sputtering job market flashing an encouraging sign — unemployment claims at their lowest point since January — the White House announced a summit Thursday to try to speed the day when hiring finally starts again.

Businesses cant wait to hire more people.
That way they can pay more money for healthcare for more workers. Its their duty. Businesses arent in business to make money & improve efficiency.
Businesses are suppose to fall on the sword for marxism.

What brilliance from the man-child! What leadership from the man-child! Let's have a meeting to solve unemployment. The summit for deficit reduction worked so well. With the same success, unemployment could reach 20%.
Maybe Obama the man-child can arrange for Dilbert to provide the opening presentation.

Like the captain of the Titanic, our leaders in Washington continue to focus their attention on dealing with our nation's problems in the same way they have done for the last four or five decades. An in doing so, they have lacked the imagination or political will to find more effective ways to deal with the serious problems now confronting our nation.
A prime example of the stagnant mindset is the our federal government's recent economic stimulus program, which only offers Americans false hope. Solely designed to treat the symptoms of our current economic problems, it does not effectively address with the underlying causes of these problems. How does trillions of dollars of unsustainable government spending over an indefinite period into the future solve our nation’s economic crisis? It only increases our national debt at a time when it was our reliance on credit and debt that precipitated the problem in the first place. It’s like throwing gasoline on a fire in an effort to extinguish the flames. Does it really make any sense to substantially increase the debt that will have to be paid by future generations? The truth be told, current economic recovery efforts are just a continuation of an ongoing Ponzi scheme, which has been promoted by politicians of both political parties over the last several decades. They have told and continue to assure the citizens of this nation that we can have it all without regard to who is actually going pay for these excesses when the bills finally become due. None of our leaders have the political courage or will to do what is necessary to balance federal budget.
The real cause of America's economic crisis is our inability with live within our means. These problems are of our own making. Real solutions to the current economic crisis will require substantial changes in how America conducts it’s business at home and abroad. There are no quick, painless solutions to these problems. Any sustainable solution to our economic problems must substantially reduce our nation’s huge trade deficit. That would result in the injection of hundreds of billions of dollars into the U.S. economy, which would otherwise be diverted overseas. In order to accomplish this task, we need to restore the wealth producing sectors of our economy, which will allow our nation to once again create the wealth it requires for sustainable economic growth.
One of the things that the citizens of our community and Arizona to help restore the wealth producing sectors of our nation's economy is to support Arizona copper industry. Large mining projects like Rosemont and Resolution are capable of pumping massive amounts of capital into the communities, where they operate. According to a recent independent study published by the Arizona Department of Mines and Mineral Resources and Arizona State University, the Rosemont copper project will result in an annual economic benefit to Pima and Santa Cruz counties of $745 million over the twenty year life of the mine and will also create of 2,000 new jobs for our community.
Now that is exactly the type of economic stimulus package that our community needs and when done in compliance with strict federal, state and local laws and regulations, it will not cost the American taxpayer a single dime.
