Our politicians all seem to agree on at least one thing: There will be no recovery unless America gets back to work.
But that's often where the agreement ends. Once you move on to discuss how to get America back to work, opinions begin to diverge.
In general, the worst thing for job creation is a poor entrepreneurial climate. Such a climate is brought on by the large fiscal debt, unpredictable health care costs, and a generally anti-business and pro-regulation approach by government.
In the run-up to the midterm elections, all of us should be thinking about "climate change" - and the best ways to create jobs in our nation. We'll hear lots of talk about recovery and stimulus, about fairness and equity, the future and change.

- Uncertainty and business
- Uncertainty and the consumer
- High corporate taxes
- Unhealthy health insurance costs
- The threat of unionization
- Inability to hire and fire
- Trade restrictions
- Credit
- Increasing unemployment insurance
- Encouraging frivolous lawsuits
