Serious shortage of trades people

Serious shortage of trades people

Recently Chicago Mayor Emanuel suggested a program of free city community college for children from city public schools who do well in high school.

I would like to see us return to the country who makes and fixes things. We have a serious shortage of trades people in all types of manufacturing, building and maintaining, i.e. plumbing, electrical, etc. Training for these positions would be at a very low cost.

I understand the mayor's proposal over 10 years would approximately cost $30 billion. Where will this money come from? How can we spend money we don't have?
