The problem is with companies morality of providing jobs again for the community. They need to understand money is not everything. Providing training and jobs for a city is more important. Greed and profit have corrupted America today. The teaching of ethics, philosophy and morality is missing from our business schools. There is not enough free colleges for students to improve their skillsets. The bad high school of the 60's and 70's have ill prepared many students for the real world work force. Parents were so busy trying to make ends meet with both working they forgot to raise their children and provide religion, morality and ethics and discipline to these children.
Many children that are adults today have no self-discipline and get into trouble and can't hold down a job. They rather party, play video games or go out dancing instead of improving themselves professionally and personaly for life. We became apathetic about our government which lead to the government making all of our decisions for us under both Bush's, Clinton, Carter, and Reagan.
The ruling class decided it is easier to rule sheep in this country who are poorly educated than people well educated that can help solve all of the worlds problems in food, shelter and quality of life for everyone.

Workers Today Need Protectionism
Today yes it takes two incomes to make ends meet. With that parents are not home to supervise there growing children. There is less dispensable income for savings, the cost of electricity, food, clothing, cars, rent and ownership of homes is the highest in history. Medical and dental benefits is higher than ever in history because there are no caps on lawsuits for malpractice and no freezing of insurance rates due to their influence by lobbyists in congress.
Unions decline as those companies outsourcing for lower wages. The bottom line dividends for profit is more important that providing a job for the people of a community. Christmas Ebineezer's Scrooge has become a role model for many CEO's today to emulate today. They receive millions in bonus and benefits even after bankruptcy or a bailout by the government. Workers today need retraining more than ever in history. We need a 20 moratorium on all outsourcing and insourcing of labor. The United States needs more of a protectionism for this economy to protect jobs from leaving. We the people, need to have high import tariffs to discourage importing of goods, we need to return 20 million manufacturing jobs to America. The costs of buying these items due to the laws of supply and demand. Instead of 500% profits they will return to the modist 25%-50% markups as of 50 years ago.

Illiteracy
Over the spend of 200 years our labor forced has changed many times. People in the California and southern states area worked on the Fields most of their lives growing food for Americans, from corn, beets to wheat and other crops. With technology came change and the growing need for literacy. As all science fiction writers foretold many years ago, we have become a society where basic scientific knowledge in medicine, chemistry, physics, engineering, law, the environment, the earth, and universe are essential to increase our collective understanding of life. Our public school have failed to get students excited to learn. 90% of education is on your own and not the schools responsibility. High School is meant to expose children to different areas of science, technology, art, history to help the students find out what their aptitudes are and what they might be good at as a career in life. The arts and music programs were cut and eliminated at many schools which was wrong. There are many brilliant potential artists, painters, and musical prodigies that can express their creativity in this manner. Engineering,psychology,medicine, and architecture isn't taught in most high schools. Electrical engineering should now be taught along with physics to help design the newest products. We need more pre medicine taught in high schools to help take care of the baby boomers that are getting near retirement. Illiteracy is a problem because of the social message that "nerds" or intellectuals are not desirable in high school. That has to change along with the journalistic medias support of education.
Intellectuals like myself have spent our lives filling our heads with seemingly useless knowledge. But, enlightenment to understanding ourselves can only be achieved by reading the insights of others in literature, philosophy, science and technology. Countries such as China and India have a very low cost and affordable university programs for all students. There are over 100,000 graduates from these two countries in engineering, programming and medicine every year. Americans are such a leisure based society, we don't tell our kids to stop playing video games, going out partying, playing games too much by hanging around with friends, some of which may be a bad influence. They should be studying there lessons four hours a night after school like I did in high school. The first eighteen years of a students life should be in the pursuit of knowledge with some free time. I spent the Summers in Boy Scouts in the Sierras for three months learning about nature and the environment.
This country needs a second Renaissance to help overcome this high level of illiteracy that leads to crime and poverty in this country. Our government and people need to stop playing political games and start doing what the people elected them to do and that is to fix the countries problems now, not next term. We need to start doing what is morally right and now politically correct.
