    I applaud your question and I applaud the government for trying to go green. But you just don't immerse yourself in a new system. It doesn't work like that. Environmentalists say we can't mine coal, so there go thousands of jobs. No one is running Washington now and every time they try, they grab onto the private jobs and claim them and politicians can't run nothing nohow.

    No, I personally know many people who have lost their employment due to cut backs, and business

    either being slow or closing their doors entirely.. Some that have families to support, are working two and three jobs. Doing anything they can ..

    My sympathy is for the sick, disabled, and older citizens, who are pretty well screwed in finding employment, then as many have stated,, it is even hard for people with degrees and students willing to work, to find any type of employment.

    .

    And you are also correct, that there is a sector that are quite willing to free load off the system, when everything is so freely given to them, why should they work?...some of us work our butts off and then there are those that just slide by...thank you ! ~

    No - it's because there are a lack of available jobs for people wanting to work

    But of course I do know you are not being serious asking such a silly question

    Hell to the no! Where have you been?

    The jobs are few & far between, it has absolutely NOTHING, not a thing to do with laziness!

    TRUST ME - things are going to get much worse.
