POPE IS CORRECT: WE HAVE A LABOR CRISIS

SPECIAL POST

Pope Francis says that we risk losing a generation of young people because they cannot find jobs. "We risk having a generation that hasn't held a job. Personal dignity comes from working, from earning your bread.  Young people are in a crisis." 

It's tough for a college grad these days to find a job doing anything, and almost impossible to find a job that employs his educational skills.  Nevertheless, the Obama Administration insists that the job market has virtually recovered.  The percentage of people working at part-time jobs in the country is higher than at any time in previous U.S. history.  With the advent of ObamaCare, full-time jobs are becoming much more difficult to find and land.  

The government cannot create jobs, only business can create jobs.  If everyone in the country worked for the government, who would pay the taxes required to support the labor force?  What the Pope seems to be pointing out to me is that the public sector of the world needs to once again, somehow, have business conditions favorable toward business growth and the resulting hiring.  As long as we have THIS President in office, however, that condition will never happen.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
