Bizarre Politics Reports:
They keep talking about creating new technolgy industries, but we first have to ask where did all the past high technology jobs and businesses go.

New Technology ventures will not change much of anything for the common man and society
Free trade makes everything old and stale
We keep hearing how the new green jobs are coming to restore our economy. You can have all the wonderful R & D in the world and discover new ways of doing things, but you are still faced with the same old problem that free trade brings. All operations and production follow the 20 cents to a dollar workers. Operations moved to where any venture can escaped teh overhead of payroll taxes, workmans' compensation, local and state taxes, pollution controls and other regulations.
Before talking about new technology innovations, we first should find out why millions lost their jobs in the computer and high tech fields and why so many high technology companies closed down for moved their operations out of the country. In China and India, they are waiting eagerly for the next new innovation to come in the U.S. so that they can take advantage of it while the cost of R & D and testing is absorbed in the start up.
I heard a teacher being interviewed about future potential jobs for students.
She wonders why there is such a great emphasis on the internet and computers in the classrooms, when there are only a few good paying jobs related to this technology. I worked in several factories while going to college and all of these factories are gone or no longer in the U.S. If these jobs were still available, millions would be standing in line to get them including college graduates. The industrial revolution is not over, but most of the things we use and eat are from somewhere far away.
It is fair to say that one manufacturing job or small family farm creates or supports ten other jobs. With these jobs and farms gone, the other jobs vanish too. Only local value added economies in balanced geopolitical settings work where up to five added levels are enjoyed from raw product to the retail or end user level. Without this we do not have a real free enterprise system and our economies will be shattered more and more. Our financial communities have separated from the rest of the process and this will never work. Our economies based on making money on money instead of making or growing things are burning out. This is a global problem and not isolated to any country.
