The "chicken in every pot" is a very good idea, in a system where there are available industry and sustainable jobs. Then the help can go to the needy in a manner it was originally designed, before the needy increased in volume as it has.

I would like to share some numbers:

Quote:

To dispel any and all myths which some wrongly assume, that these services are mainly for minorities - lets move to look at reality with numbers.

Blacks @ (13%) of a population of 300,000,000 people in U.S = 39,000,000 / 59.1 percent who live on 80 of their income from social security of 39,000,000 people = *23,049,000 people.

Whites @ (70%) of a population of 300,000,000 people in U.S. = 210,000,000 / 46 percent who live on 80 of their income from social security of 210,000,000 people = *96,600,000 people.

Result: *73,550,000* MORE white people than the entire population of black people live on 80 of their income from social security.

The Ratio of white people living on SSI is 4.17% to every 1% of black people living on SSI.
The low "base line" average of over 57,000,000 million MORE white people collect social security “than there is black people who exist in this nation”, simply put, this equals 22.23% more whites than " the whole populations of blacks" in this country, as being the ones who collect public program service benefits.
On an average of over 73.5 million “more” whites collect benefits than the total number of black people.

Please don't limit these number to simply SSI, these numbers are relative to "public assistance usages" equally so
Republican will never factually discuss these break down of numbers in ethnic terms for clarity - therefore poor and working poor whites need to understand they are at higher risk when Republican talk cuts.



We NEED A re-emergence of industry in American, We NEED to again, make a high% of the clothes we wear, we need to import less fruit and vegetables from South American, We need to import less fish from Asian, we need to began to make a high % of the shoes we wear, and multitude of many things which are basic to sustaining life and function. We need to again learn to make many of the appliances we use, build the furniture we fill our homes with and the list goes on. I am interested in Nationalist stability, and then we engage to work with global outreach, both in imports and exports. China today, uses machinery and manual labor in combination, and they can do much of it with OJT ( On the Job Training) LABOR FORCES .. but the Wealthy tell us, that we can't compete, so they don't build industry. YES, WE CAN COMPETE. because every foreign product sold in our usage chain is sold to us at a price as if they paid American Labor wages to make or build it. which means, we can build it and industry still makes a healthy profit margin. BUT, THE GREED OF INDUSTRIALIST DON'T WANT HEALTHY PROFITS, THEY WANT ROBBER BARRON GOUGING GREED GAINS. This is how they went from being Millionaires to being Billionaires, and we have gone to being a unemployed and low wage society. We are hard pressed to find 'American Made Products" made on American Soil.

I AGREE.


I don't advocate generational public service dependent lifestyles. I do however understand the breakdown in our systems. We must remember what Outsourcing since the late 1960's truly was and what it cost us as a society. Many of the once upon a time 'Repair Shops" along the way vanished as well, we once had sub industry which were part of the major industrial supply chain; those thing left with outsourcing, but along with outsourcing came "disposable products' , this further damaged all the mom and pop shops that hire from 2-10-20-30 people, these shops employed a great many people as they were scattered throughout many cities. Those thing left. If you remember during the 1970's they had many programs, for 'data entry", when companies were transferring their data to digital data bases, this lasted up and into part of the 1980's. By the time that tapered down, automation was fast moving into what industry was left. compile these things together it was a big blow to the American workforce. We became so driven by the word "outsource" until our university graduate were trained with this ideological aim within their minds. We busted Unions, when unions were the last guardian to stand against Outsourcing, when that voice was silenced, there was nothing to stop companies from outsourcing, as the employees no longer had a collective voice to stand against it.
It was a fierce attack to remove Unions, as the Outsourcers, knew it was the only thing standing guard to prevent outsourcing, the wealthy were determined not only to get rid of unions but to build up negativity in the minds of people against unions. That taught university graduate to fight against union wages by telling graduates, that labor should not make anything near what graduates earn. So the graduate moved into management and became attackers of unions. Some of these same graduates were sent to school by people who worked union jobs, yet, this never dawned in the minds of graduates once they were brainwashed to attack unions.


THESE ARE SAD AND DREADFUL IMPACTS UPON OUR SOCIETY

We no longer had the lucrative job markets of the earlier 1960's. But equally so, the late 1950's through the mid to latter part of the 1960's we were deep into and nearing the end of the Eisenhower Freeway program, once completed those massive construction jobs which lasted nearly a solid decade were gone.
this is a big loss spectrum which spanned the country. As this program dwindled down, we lost the steel Industry, and most ore processing industry, by the mid 1975 the car tire industry was gone, Firestone, B.F Goodrich, Goodyear and others, then cam the hit to the lumber mills and on and on along with the onset of textiles of every sort became the outsource target. We'd lost the Appliance Manufacturing to Japan by the late 1960's early 1970's. NOTHING came to replace any of this, which means 10's of million of people unemployed in all these varied job options. People once could raise a family being a Grocery Store Checker, by the 1990's that was busted down to part time and then lower pay for the group and they slowly phased out the tenured checker and they were not replaced. We once had Gas Station Attendants up to the mid 70's those jobs vanished.
Automobiles became more efficient and those mechanic jobs shrank.
So I say that to say, we truly have to look at the jobs gone forever, which pushed many people onto public assistance. The greater the destitution the public service programs ramped up, people were accustom to a lifestyle, and lifestyle adjustments were and are difficult, it was into the late 70's through the 1980's that 'family planning tried to help change the reproductive cycles", but then came the drug epidemic of the 80's It shattered everything, as there is no family in the nation that was not touched by drug epidemics within their family ranks.
The once upon a time Military accessibility closed ranks in the induction cycles, which means now 10s of thousands who once looked to that as a career options was not available. Inner cities were crammed with people basically competing for low wage jobs of which were lesser and did not pay in relation to the rising cost of rent and food. We can look at the automobiles, they were once well under 10k by a large margin, they escalated up to the 20k and then today, 30K is standard money for many lines of autos.

Those are factors which came to exist. No excuses but reality factor of great challenges to people across the nation and certainly within the state.

Add in
When Ivy League use models such as these to teach our kids... We are in trouble.


PLEASE READ THE "Reagan Legacy"

If look back at the history of GM- from the early 80s through to the massive cut back, they stopped advertising, they lost out on brand quality and made cars that could and would not compete with Toyota and Nissan, and Honda then we had the massive influx of BMW, after the era of the BMW 2002 ended, the 80's brought the 320/320i and still GM lagged. Cadillac nearly fell off the cliff, as did so many once great GM models.
Only in the past 6 years of so, is GM moving back to making quality and competitive vehicles, but they allowed the dominating saturation of Toyota and Nissan, and Honda, and even Hyundai came up from the 1980's and not compete in the US auto arena at a level beyond our ability to contain it.

Japan came and built factories on our soil and now they are challenging us to allow more imports build on Japanese soil to be thrust upon us.

We gave up too much pursuing a Globalist Aim, to the point we do not have the Nationalist Strength to Negotiate functionally in a manner that benefits America and American's need to rebuild Industry.
We need to look at the break down in the process of devastation suffered by the people, cities, communities and state, then we can see how we declined in socioeconomic within this nation.

We need to regain voice- for Industry to have voice of the employees,they need to be organized, unorganized employees have no voice. We need to understand what that means and become a pro-union nation. Our nation is far better at understanding how to manage the organization of union. The old concept must fade into new understanding if the people are to gain voice, against multinational companies, and industry. Industry must re-learn how the stability of union means also the stability of industry and the quality standards meeting the measure of quality production.

If we don't wake up in the next 3-5 yrs, within 10 yrs we will find this nation fully devastated and listed as a has been, once upon a time great industrial nation.
We've lost so much ground over 40+ yrs, but we can regain it within 5 yrs, if we get busy.
We can re structure how university teaches and what they teach, when we develop a nationalized ideal, of understanding first what is a strong nation, then we can become a strong international player.

We have much work to do, from housing repair, infrastructure, re-industrialization, and understanding that we must become a producer of no less than 45-60% of what are our basic goods, clothing, appliance, farm good, and look within our various industries and rebuild our resource supply lines.

If we beleive in ourselves, and not allow our world to be dictated by the Ivy League madness being taught today, and force a new paradigm in what is education and how is education administered. We must rebuild our community colleges, our state universities and know that we can manage cost and we can re-design course for more expedient and efficient graduation. The 4 yr model may no longer be good for many things, and the claim of Masters, must have a focus and incorporate a term of real world experience, before these claims of degree are passed out like flyers.
We no longer can diminish nor ignore or downplay the value of vocational and technical program training, it must be elevated to a stature to be afforded the respect it deserves.

Let's get back to respecting people, and all these things re-gain meaning, as will
American regain its sense of hope.

We must remove politicians who are talking about cut everything, but never talking about building and rebuilding, we must get rid of the politicians who have a 'fight against everything, and never a let's grow, let's progress and let's build and rebuild.
