The companies want the government to train their workers, PLUS cut their taxes. As I see it, you can have one or the other, but not both. I never said a WORD about RAISING taxes...but it's hard to INCREASE training at government expense, at the same time you're cutting funding for education and training. Looks like you want it both ways, too.
I think that the companies should go back to training workers, the way they did not so many years ago...instead of complaining that "it's somebody else's job to do that."
The key is, FIRST you train them...THEN you PAY THEM WHAT THEY'RE WORTH. They wouldn't leave to work somewhere else if you paid them what they're worth...because they ARE worth more money, apparently, to the OTHER guy. If THE COMPETITION thinks they're worth more money, why wouldn't the company who trained them think so, too? If a trainee does a substandard job, they don't get certified...and as a probationary employee, even if your company has a union, you can still be fired for substandard work. Saw that happen all around me when I worked at the frame plant. Lots of "probies" who didn't do a good job were here today, gone tomorrow.
Liability? There's insurance for that...and always has been. Train 'em right, and that's not a concern. There's no less liability for a newbie employee than there is for one who's been trained wrong, even if they're trained somewhere else.
I think your arguments are bogus. You want smaller government that costs less, but you want them to pick up the tab for the training that business USED to do on their own. Who pays for that? Oh, yeah...THE TAXPAYER...whether it's the individual of the business, the TAXPAYER foots that bill. Why should I, as a taxpayer, pay to train YOUR workers, just because you WON'T pay to do it? Let the folks who buy your products ultimately pay for their training...and if I don't buy your products, then I don't pay your business expenses.
