Fixing the Economy- Employing EVERY American

All of the experts are now predicting that it will take YEARS for unemployment to come down to a reasonable level.  They make these comments as if they are talking about mathematical equations rather than the lives of millions of Americans that are losing their homes and their life savings and their prospects for the future.  How can they get away with this?  Because they've done it before.  They wrote off Black workers in America's cities in the 1960's and 1970's.  They wrote off the shoe factories, and the steel mills, and the textile manufacturers and the furniture makers and we let them get away with it.  And they'll keep doing it until we make them pay a price for their betrayal. 

When someone in China betrays their Country, they put the son-of-a-bitch up against a wall and shoot him and then make his family pay for the bullet.  We need to bring this enlightened policy to America.  These bastards that crashed our economy in the first place should not be around to run their mouths about what to do about it.  They don't give a damn about ordinary Americans; they think it's YOUR fault if you weren't smart enough to become a Wall Street thief or a politician on the payroll of huge corporations like they did.  They tell the unemployed to go back to school and get more education, they say that everyone should have a college degree to be able to get a job, anything less and you're a write-off.  They never say what's going to happen to all of the workers that can't get college degrees- are they just supposed to disappear?  They tell laid-off auto workers to get trained as nurses because health care is a growing business as the baby-boomers retire.  Retire?  How can they retire when their savings have been destroyed and they owe more on their homes than the homes are worth (if they still have their home).  And how are people going to pay for all these health care workers when their incomes are dropping and Medicare and Medicaid are going broke because the tax base has collapsed?  And 'Green' jobs are not going to replace the millions of manufacturing jobs that have been shipped offshore.

We could forgive the 'experts' for making a 'mistake' except that they should have known better; after all, the whole thing has happened before.  After the Great Crash of 1929, the government put rules in place to make sure that nothing like that could ever happen again.  The current crop of 'experts' systematically removed those rules; they believed that the rules were 'old fashioned' and were no longer needed.  After the Crash of 1929, the government said that Banks and individuals should not be able to 'leverage' their assets more than 7 to 1, that is they wouldn't be allowed to borrow more than 7 dollars for each one dollar that they had in hand.  Before the 1929 crash, people had been borrowing as much as 10 to 1.  Once our current crop of idiots removed the rules, Wall Street Banks leveraged more than 40 to 1.  They wrote $600 trillion in derivate contracts when the entire world economy is only about $50 trillion per year.  The experts KNEW that what they were doing was wrong and they did it anyway.  That, we shouldn't forgive.

The 1994 Republicon 'Contract for America' should have been called the 'Contract ON America' because it's killing the Country.  The Republicons told the corporate world that they could do whatever they wanted and the government wouldn't hold them accountable.  They pioneered the fraud with Enron in Texas, WorldCom in Mississippi, HealthSouth in Alabama and Tyco in New York.  They helped foreign car companies open non-Union factories in the South and destroyed the American car companies while giving our market away to Japan.  They installed Republicon hacks in key government regulatory jobs and told them to do nothing to inhibit business.  American big corporations have offshored 25 million jobs to Communist dictatorships in Asia.  As traitors, they've done a great job of betraying America.

What's going to happen to the tens of millions of Americans that have lost their jobs?  A few months into the recession, the 'experts' said that it would be over soon and that unemployment would start declining.  They said that recessions usually last 12 to 24 months, not longer.  The current recession started in August 2007 (not January 2008 like the experts say).  So the recession has already run 28 months and there is no end in sight.  If I hear one more Washington clown claim that the recession is over, I'm going to go berserk.  The recession will not be over until most Americans are working in decent jobs again.

Let me make this clear.  If you're Black and not in a government job, you've been written off.  The corporate crowd is importing Latinos because 'they'd rather hire a Spic any day than a Black- they work harder.'  If you're over 50, forget about getting a job.  Just move back into your mother's house and live in the basement.  If you're a female with kids, they'll pay you half what a man would earn and charge you twice what a man would pay for shoes, or a shirt, or a haircut.  And they'll cheat you every time you get your car fixed or get a water heater replaced.

So, what about the permanently unemployed?  Workers were already under attack by the big corporations; they eliminated their jobs through automation and computerization and offshored their jobs whenever they could.  If they couldn't send your job offshore, they brought in a Mexican to either take your job or drive your wages down through competition with illegal workers that would work for $5 an hour.  Their goal is to drive the wages of American workers to the level of workers in China; that's about $3000 PER YEAR!  Better still, they'd rather not pay any wages at all.  They want their niggers back and they don't care what color they are.  Meanwhile, they take the money that they save on wages and put millions in their own pockets every year.  Somehow, they expect their corporate profits to keep growing even as they drive down the buying power of American consumers/workers.

It's becoming clear that big US corporations don't feel any responsibility to create jobs to support the American economy that they feed off of.  They expect small business to create all of the jobs necessary to keep the economy going and create demand for the products and services available from small business AND the big corporations.  They're out of their minds.  We need every job that our markets generate.  And these are OUR jobs, they don't belong to the corporations.

They have heard that Americans are 'angry' and 'enraged'.  They talk about it as if they are commenting on a football game.  You have to make them feel your anger.  When you go into a China-mart, knock bottles of spaghetti sauce and raspberry jam on the floor.  Drop clothes and step on them.  Drop cartons of eggs and bottles of pickles.  Spill Seven-Up in the aisles where someone can slip and fall and then sue the store.  Drop appliance boxes, dent cans of soup.  If a few people do this stuff, the stores will have to hire extra workers to clean up the mess or provide better security.  Considering China-mart's low profit margins, it won't take much to hurt their 'bottom line.'  And they'll get the message really quick that Americans are pissed off.

And get your money out of Wall Street stocks.  These people are crooks and liars and they spend all their time trying to figure out how to steal your money.  If you're a Union member, get your Union to pull their retirement funds out of Wall Street and set up co-ops to loan money to your members to buy homes and cars.  You can you support the bastards that are attacking you?  Don't buy corporate stocks- EVER!

Corporations have been making war on workers for years; it's time to make war on them.  These are OUR jobs, created by our markets that WE built.  The corporations should not be able to feed off our markets without supporting our economy.  They don't want to give us jobs, we shouldn't give them our money.  Screw 'em.

The unemployment problem won't be solved until we end Free Trade.  We can't afford to give away any American job or let any American company close because of competition from China.  China doesn't give away its jobs; they know that their people will revolt if they don;t have jobs to support their families.  The Chinese government is afraid of the peoples' anger.  Our government and corporations should be afraid of OUR anger.
