New jobs

The various programs put forth by the democratic candidates all revolve around providing benefits but only one has to do with jobs and that is substituting new energy sources for fossil fuels. This means a transfer of jobs from one industry to another but not necessarily new jobs. In the past the government sponsored job training programs were pushed by democrats but even that is no longer mentioned. Now the emphasis is on government assistance in lieu of jobs. One proposal is to increase corporate tax rates but that will reduce job opportunities. The way to help people is to use the private sector to create new jobs and with competition, jobs that pay a living wage. Depending on the energy industry to provide most of the new jobs will not be enough to keep the economy growing.
