Unemployed or underemployed thousands or the trillions that are on the sidelines waiting to develop a 5 year plan...hmmmmm..even if all those people had the jobs and were making what they were making before it wouldn't equal the money corporations have laying in wait and besides people were all giddy with personal debt to a level that the government is now.
