We need to recognize that we are in a crisis and boldness is our only way out. <br />1) We need to get people back to work and back to spending their earnings. <br />2) We need to invest in infrastructure that promotes a prosperous business environment. <br />3) We need to recognize and invest in human infrastructure necessities for a long-term and sustainable state and national economy.<br /><br />My perspective:<br />1) We have never had a better era of low-cost financing available, combined with hungry contractors and workers ready to bid low and work. <br />2) We have never had a greater need for infrastructure repair and improvement. A bonding bill is the fastest way to get asset-building funds into private hands and multiplier business.<br />3) Competitive countries that have a low cost labor force and an exploitable work environment, are investing in the third leg of "technical expertise". The U.S. has dropped from #1 in the post-secondary degrees rate for age 25-45, to #16. To compete against low cost labor and still protect the the U.S. lifestyle, this trend must be reversed ASAP!Jim Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095829906665423232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646982459420431681.post-45018125459221546782011-09-20T09:47:28.921-05:002011-09-20T09:47:28.921-05:00The purpose of creating a growth strategy is to gr...The purpose of creating a growth strategy is to grow jobs. That process should take into consideration the questions you (S.J.) are raising. What is sad is this was not done during the earliest stages of the recession in '07 -'08.<br /><br />Hopefully, if a strategy is developed it will be clear, understandable, and deal with your specific concerns.

Combined with Erik Hare's posting (http://erikhare.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/the-next-economy/), it has been wonderful to read forward-looking business-oriented postings that represent Minnesotans thinking of the best state for Minnesotans.<br /><br />Now, can we get our fellow Mionesotans moving? Pushing their legislators away from devisive partisan hackery and toward providing these kinds of jobs? Giving MN businesses hope that MN politics has its priorities straight so they invest here?<br /><br />If state leaders say we can find $600 million in funding in some vain attempt to build the Vikings some kind of entertainment-based Zygi World, we should be able to afford 10 times that for alternative energy to reduce our dependance on foreign energy, improved education to create better businesses, and all these other areas that improve our state's economy and provide better jobs.<br /><br />This is a time of great opportunity with an incredible amount of idle talented people and available resources for business, and the only thing missing is civic and business leadership willing to put it to work.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252804186064393926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646982459420431681.post-71387907017828502792011-09-14T16:57:39.036-05:002011-09-14T16:57:39.036-05:00Governor,

It's wonderful that Faribault Mills are up and running again, but what about other blue-collar jobs? They've gone away, but with what will they be replaced?<br /><br />When they talk about job training...what are they training people to do if there is no manufacturing.<br /><br />I keep going over and over this, and getting nowhere. Would you be be so kind as to address that question? <br /><br /><br />http://wifelyperson.blogspot.com/The Wifely Personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255569339784573469noreply@blogger.com
