ThIs what the Socialists want, dependence on the government. They, under Obama mostly, ex-patted all the meaningful industries. “We will become a.service economy and let China et al be the Dirty manufacturers”. What a dumb ass. Then we convince all the Boomer and Generation G parents that the only path to success is a college education, mostly worthless majors. Then our government somehow managed to load up the colleges with idiots preaching Marxism, socialism and government control. So today, the education profile shows a very top heavy group of graduates that know nothing, have no skills and need the government to create bullshit jobs for them. Then Biden imports another 30-50 million non-skilled people and allowing the globalists to take over big chunks of the US economy. Nice!!!!!!!

JHK is right, one of the objectives of the Trump administration has to be the eradication of the Progressive wing of the Democratic Party and the advance of the party that is pro-USA and anti-socialistic. Right now, not many of those left. The gimme mentality created by 35 years of Left wing control (Yeah, the Bushes too) has infected the USA’s mentality. Trump has his work cut out for him, also his cabinet.

Sidebar - Watched a You Tube yesterday about the renewed construction of the Wall, that beautiful yuge wall that will allow the Border Patrol to actually prevent incursions of globalist illegals. If Trump does two things, eliminate the college paradigm and drive out the professors that are distorting the kids, and put the border under control, we will be one step up on trying to reverse the socialist trend.

Speaking of useful jobs, Trump and Co. should figure out all the infrastructure projects that need to be done.

Bridges, Flint water plumbing re-do to get the lead out, cleaning up North Carolina and help people re-build in safe no-flood zones, highway repairs etc.

Create trade jobs and trade tech schools to teach all the loafers how to be plumbers, electricians, welders and how to run heavy machinery (think Mike Roe dirty jobs training) etc.

There is plenty of hard work to be done but most are not trained for it.

If we want the youth of our nation to learn useful professions they have to have the schools to go to and know there will be decent paying jobs at the end.

Right now China supplies us with necessary medications like Tylenol, antibiotics and more. All the things China makes FOR us that we NEED should be made HERE. It is a national security issue.

Lots to consider and figure out to REALLY make America great again and lift Americans into useful, meaningful jobs.

I'd reintroduce shop and trade training at the middle school level with apprenticeships for high school.

Home ec too. Teach girls how to cook, clean, look good and please their husbands.

you do you, boo. this particular girl would take auto mechanics plumbing and wiring. which surprise are all things I do around the house I built personally by hand. and I choose to please myself. but if you want to learn how to please somebody else, also called co-dependecy, have at it.

Yes, nobody should ever try and please anybody. That's what the robots are going to be for. When you try and tinker with them, they will zap you and report you to the manufacturer.

There are projects here and there that have cropped up but there are nowhere near the number needed.

Where are the guys and gals who want to be welders? Electricians? These seem like great trades to me.

Flint knapping. Learn to make flint arrow and spear heads. Every youth spends five years on "the Wild Continent". They will hunt and gather, form tribes and make war. Many will never return. Some will not want to return. But those who come back will be magnificent. Side benefit of controlling the population.

Geez! Careful, Abby...JohnAZ will be calling you a 'radical left socialist' soon, with all your 'gimme' projects!

Oh no I won’t, Abby. When is the last time you saw the federal government “talk” to the states or locals about what they need? Flint is still lead-lined? That is a disgrace. Look at the border, have the Feds helped any of the states with the costs of dealing with these groups.

My problem with the government is that they put their money into politically items instead of what is really needed. Right now, there is no more obvious support for this statement than So Cal. God gave us brains and the power to use them, it appalls me how much of that is wasted in government.

Even Lugh states that the best situations are good governments manned by good people. His dreams are good, finding them has been impossible. Good government set limits on interfering with the folks it is supposed to support. In my lifetime, 77 years, I have not seen that yet at any level of government.

Not quite as concise as the numbered list but with the added suggestion that a LOYAL opposition is to be... I would say a necessity.
