Charles Wheelan makes the point that politicians cannot create jobs unless workers have some job skills. While he falls back on the ladder of more education, I would argue that there are lots of college degrees that can only saddle one with debt while not improving job prospects. If the degree does not involve an employable skill set or prepare you to take a state licensing exam to become a specialist, you would probably be much better off learning MSFT or CISCO engineering at the community college. There is more demand for accounting grads than ever before, accounting is an employable skill set.
He also echoes my comment to one paper on WEB CT that the government never did solve the depression, WWII did that.
