Not all government jobs pay a lot. Unless you a Senator or President. If you are a policemen, social worker, state, county and city employee, etc you do not make much at all.

College is more necessary than some believe

Some of our young adults have bought into “we don’t need a college degree”. That would be nice not to have to pay the ever increasing cost of college, but it’s simply not true for those who want make a better living. If you have a skill or craft you might be able to do without a college degree to get a higher paying job. And even then, some businesses want you to have some kind of school or training for those. I wish colleges were not allowed to charge so much. They charge for all kinds of services that some people never need. The book prices are outrageous and are updated every two or three years so it’s harder to resell. Where does all that money go? They don’t pay the professors or other employees very much.

But engineering degrees are usually four year programs. And we have just as many "nerds" as any other major... hate to rain on your stereotype parade.
You talk about "unfair competition". What on earth is unfair competition? You mean you don't LIKE overseas competition? Too bad. Welcome to the 21st century.
And why do you think that the fed. gov't will expand under Democrats only? Huckabee, Romney, Giuliani, McCain... all of these neo-cons are just like Bush: tax and spend, tax and spend. Stop dreaming. Vote Ron Paul.

College not necessary

I believe Congressman Ron Paul is the limited government fiscal conservative you are looking for. But more like minded representatives will be needed in the Federal legislature and in all levels of government. The "free trade" of a NAFTA is NOT free, but rather politically manipulated trade which favors only a few multinational corporations. Jobs suitable for college graduates are not available, in large part, because of NAFTA outsourcing; yet colleges, who know this, continue to solicit students, usually causing students to have huge debt loads when they graduate. Capitalism was never meant to be a completely free system of economic interaction. Early ideas for capitalism in the U.S. came from Adam Smith’s “Wealth of Nations.” Smith identified several items that would have to be in place for his capitalism to work effectively: 1) There would be no separation of ownership and management. 2) There would be certain social costs that no one private individual would want to provide; thus giving these costs over to the governing bodies. 3) Any capitalistic economic system would have to be confined to sovereign national boundaries. (The basis and the ability of the market place to determine supply and demand and price, rests in the ability of individuals to move easily from one industry to another to provide goods and services. This is obviously not possible across national boundaries). The U.S. governments, both Federal and State, must firmly establish economic rules that encompass the three tenets stated above. Appropriate tariffs and monopoly busting legislation are probably necessary. Global capital flight through private banks and the stock market must be prohibited and/or highly regulated. Of course, making necessary changes requires citizens to be honest with themselves and to elect honest representatives. George Cancilla
