I'm interested in:

Why there are no economic programs for the blue ...

Why there are no economic programs for the blue collar workers such as electricians, plumbers, carpenters, iron workers, masons, but it seems everyone wants to help out the CEO's, bankers, real estate moguls, insurance comapnies, car manufacturers.  Well when the blue collar workers are all broke who is going to pay for the crap the ones above offer, it sure will not be the rich. Just as where are grant programs for musical artist other than schools, where no where?

Investing in Human Capital is the most rewarding; free-market utilization of Human Capital is the least expensive path to success.

Don't whine about problems without thinking of a free-market, economically rational, and socially pragmatic solution.

Your question is being asked more and more.

The answer is that the Obama admin has to take care of those who elected them before anyone else. Meaning Unions, teachers, minorities, poor. Most people inclue blue collar in the union group.

Your turn may come when they realize that blue collar and middle class are part of the backbone of America. You must do your part by taking training for new occupations that are "green" and more technology oriented.

The traditional manufacturing jobs are changing to techo service jobs; what you used to make by hand is going to be made by machine. High productivity through automation is the only way American Industry will compete. You have to learn and be trained for those jobs.

Good luck!

First off this would make sense excpet for one item and that is the fact that the unions are without jobs also, green tech. is also involved in such as electricity yet the unions do not have jobs in this either and are trained to do this type of work.  When I stated blue collar I meant jobs such as electrician, plumber, carpenter, masons, and milwrights. Automation is used in auto manufacturing. So the question still remains unanswered except that it seems that the bankers,real estate moguls, insurance moguls, CEO's all of whom do not build anything at all have jobs but those who are the backbone of the country are without jobs and without them buildings will fall need repair, soon no electricity or plumbing or gas, houses will crumble and we will be living in caves without any of the things we now have and take for granted and the computers that excite wall street and the others will no longer work for there will be no electricity to power them.

I understand you feel strongly, but be reasonable. In spite of their malfeasance, bankers are needed, because without them there would be no financing for mortgages, for corporate loans, for institutions, including non- profits, to operate. Free markets and societies must be financed.

It is the responsibility of the free market system to recognize the value of Human Capital, which includes everything from bluecollar to bankers, farmers to forensic pathologists.

I think the Current administration would be well advised to forecast the job skills needed for the next generation, and provide  tax incentives for companies to hire and train those people, As you pointed out, toilets will always need to be fixed, cars repaired, and lots more Human Capital opportunities.
