[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has the worst unemployment problem in the country. The number of people who've been out of work for a year plus is appalling. It would be great if our elected leaders could focus on that. They seem incapable of adapting to changed circumstances. Instead they go back to their go-tos, which are raising taxes to finance questionable spending [/quote]

So many of those unemployed were trained for very specific government jobs that are not transferrable to the private sector. What exactly would you have them do?[/quote]

What a weird, stupid, condescending question. We have one of the most highly educated workforces in the entire world, and you think people here are incapable of doing anything more than what they used to do? Fortunately it's not up to cretins like yourself and the idiots who run our government to figure out what jobs they can do. They just have to give businesses a reason to set up shop here, and they'll do the rest. We'll see if the business-hating robots who run our government can figure out how not to be complete *ssholes to employers. [/quote]

You clearly have not spent most of a career working in the Federal government. You can call out the statement, but it hows how ill-informed you are for the specific training and tasks many federal employees have been managing for, in many cases, decades. Being turned out in your 50's with skills that are not transferrable to the private sector is a huge problem. Sorry you don't understand that.[/quote]
