You, as business owners, have the opportunity to shape the workforce that you want and need to stay competitive. The pieces are lined up. Let's do it. The marketplace is unforgiving for those who wait.
The reality of it is I think the GOP - Republicans and certainly conservatives - will partner with the Tea Party movement around this country.
I respect Rush Limbaugh; he is a national conservative leader, and in no way do I want to diminish his voice.
The federal government has never created one job that is sustainable long term. It creates government project work but not creating real work where people are.
