All those jobs are dead as long as the housing-construction industry is dead. I think that's a major problem now - the skilled trades, and union jobs, have essentially disappeared from America, because we just don't make stuff any more.
See the governor of Wisconsin who just put the kabosh on his part of a multi-state high-speed rail line.

Not true at all. Business 2 biggest lies are taxes and lack of skilled employees. They are shipping jobs overseas for 1 reason only and that is for higher profits but it is now canibalistc practice.

I gotta agree with jms here. Business isn't dying due to "excessive taxation and lack of skilled workers". Nor "government interference". Unless you are talking about things like EPA or OSHA regulation to keep certain businessness from poisoning it's neighbors, our environment, and killing it's workers. Nothing wrong with that type of regulation at all. And yes, some American businesses are certainly going overseas to get around that. That is a moral/ethical problem, and those businesses don't deserve to thrive, IMO. And looking backwards in American history, "unregulated business" didn't drive growth, nor create a middle class. It elevated a small percentage of ultra-rich, and kept the rest in poverty. Sorta like exactly what is happening again, now.
