How can we create more jobs during tough times?
What could be done to create more jobs in this economy?
PAUL CARBONARO, Springboro: “That’s what they talk about every day in the White House — and it’s a really tough question. One way would be to give people every incentive to earn more, do more and think creatively. A flat tax would help people do just that, and it’s the fairest way to tax, too.”
BRENDA MUTERSPAW, Xenia: “Quit outsourcing our jobs.”
DOUG HOUSTON, Yellow Springs: “I think it starts with education. We need to train young people to be more in tune with high-tech jobs of the future. We also need to make higher education more affordable, rather than subsidizing automobile jobs.”
JOHN KNIGHT, Spring Valley Twp.: “First, lower taxes. Then we’ve got to start making things, manufacturing things again. I don’t think casinos are going to do it. Casinos won’t create new wealth. The only way to do that is to make things here.”
JENNIFER VALLARAUTTO, Mason: “Stimulate purchasing with lower interest rates to companies, to encourage them to buy.”
MIKE GLEASON, Columbus: “Lower taxes, for one, and put more emphasis on small business. Small businesses make the economy thrive — entrepreneurs.”
