Why Unemployment is Skyhigh

I had an epiphany today. I realized why the unemployment rate is in double digits in so many areas of the country. I also realized what can fix it, putting thousands, if not millions of people back to work. Companies should have a person answer the phone. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? Just crazy enough to work, I'll bet! If I never had to deal with another automated system, directing me to press one, two or the pound again, I would sing the praises of that company from the rooftops. What ever happened to customer service? What if I don't have the proper digits to press for assistance either? Think of all the entry level jobs that it could create if companies had some live person answering your calls and taking care of your problems. This could put people to work in less then two weeks, also. I would think that BO's handlers could whip together some sort of receptionist school in about two weeks. Even a liberal idiot ought to be able to get this going in no time, seriously. Don't give me training credits, or tax breaks. That is just liberal mumbo jumbo designed for the sound byte on the 24 hour news programs. Real jobs are what is needed, not photo-ops. Also, why don't we hire people to fix the infrastructure of this country? Not some bunch of college students who are trying to find the easiest way to make money in the summer, to subsidize their education by painting curbs yellow, either. I mean, real work crews that will fix roads, paint bridges, maintain highways,(unless you are in Indiana where they vote those jobs away in the middle of the night behind closed doors) and all of the other things that have to be done to keep us able to drive, work and move from one area to another with a relative amount of ease. Quit worrying about health care for illegal guests of our country. Send them home, and look! More jobs have opened up, haven't they? Think about that phone training idea. It would mean simple, easy directions from someone who spoke English in a way that could be understood by the majority of the people. Paradise! You'll thank me later.
