Ohio

bureaucracy ( cabinet-level Department of Economic Development) is not the thing to do.

In Dayton Ohio in the 50's and 60's there were many factories. Jobs were moved from Dayton to the South and other countries to get away with having to pay for benefits won in union contracts.

If manufacturing came back building green energy technology that would be a big boost to Dayton but every city in America wants green jobs. There are not enough to go around.

We have to stop trying to recreate the past. What we need is to understand what the jobs of the future will be and we need to train people to work those jobs.

And I think we need to have a movement toward minimization. People need to stop thinking a good life means inquiring the most amount of stuff they can.

We need to move people toward healthier life styles. Better diets and exercise to overcome obesity.

Basically we need to learn how to have fulfilling lives without the center being consumerism.
