TODAY IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT 4.8 MILLION PEOPLE ARE ON UNEMPLOYMENT.ALSO THEY HAVE ALLREADY SAID THAT OVER 100K WILL GET PINK SLIPS.THIS UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBER IS THE HIGHEST IN USA HISTORY.
LAST NIGHT THE HOUSE PASSED THE RECOVERY BILL WHICH WOULD GIVE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS THRU 2009 AND GIVE A 25.00 A MONTH INCREASE FOOD STAMPS WHICH IS WHAT 10 LOAFS OF BREAD COST.NOT MUCH IN THE OVERALL SCHEME OF THINGS
YET EVEN AS THE BILL PASSED ALL 177 PINHEAD REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE VOTED AGAINST THIS BILL.WHAT PART OF GETTING RE-ELECTED DONT THEY UNDERSTAND.
THEY MUST THINK THAT THESE 4.8 MILLION PEOPLE ARE ALL DEMOCRATS.THEY WILL HAVE A RUDE AWAKEING IN 2010 WHEN MOST OF THEM JOIN THE RANKS OF THE UNEMPLOYED.
WE NEED JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT MAKE THINGS THAT SAY "MADE IN THE U.S.A."LIKE WE DID BACK IN THE 50S,60S.WE NEED A NEW MANUFACTURING BASE IN THIS COUNTRY AND GET OUT OF THE SERVICE BUSINESS.SCHOOLS PUBLIC/PRIVATE NEED TO HAVE SHOP STARTING IN THE 5TH GRADE IE:CARPENTRY/SHEETMETAL ETC OR THINGS THAT MAKE THE GREEN INDUSTRY BE PRODUCTIVE.YOU HAVE A LOT OF KIDS THAT CANT GO TO COLLEGE AND MICKEY DS IS NOT THE ANSWER.THEY SHOULD HAVE THE CHANCE TO FIND OUT AT A EARLY AGE IF THEY ARE MECHCANLY INCLINED.BACK IN THE 50S I HAD A LOT OF CHOICES IN THE BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.WHEN WE WERE READY FOR HIGH SCHOOOL WE COULD CHOOSE FROM BOSTON TRADE,BOSTON ENGLISH,BOSTON LATIN,RINDGE TECH IN CAMBRIDGE WHICH PREPARED YOU FOR MIT IF YOU HAD THE GRADES.I HOPE THAT THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE WILL BRING BACK THIS CONCEPT WHICH I HAVE GIVEN MY INPUT.BOTTOM LINE IS WE NEED JOBS AND GOOD PAYING ONES NOT ALL MIN.WAGE JOBS.WE HAVE TO TAKE THE GREED OUT OF THE BIG FORTUNE 500 CO.S AND START MAKING 21ST CENTURY THINGS.
