Getting America back to work…

What we need to do in order to put America back to work is create even larger government jobs programs that what we have with the largest government jobs program to date: the military which is our largest employer and least productive.

To start with the Civilian Conservation Corps and the WPA programs should be started up again on much larger scales than the military--- we should be looking at around 15 million jobs between these two programs.

Then we should place the more than 3,700 closed and idle mines, mills and factories under public ownership and bring them back into production producing what society and people require to live better lives.

Third, we need a national public health care system which would create up to ten-million new, good-paying jobs providing the American people with free health care. We already have three very good socialized health care programs of a similar nature in this country which work very well: VA, Indian Health Service and the Public Health Service and I have yet to hear any of the Tea Baggers suggesting we close down any of these socialized health care systems.

Anyone with an ounce of common sense can understand that there is no way under current economic conditions that we will ever have anything close to a full-employment economy if we leave job creation to the "free-market, private sector" of Wall Street coupon clippers and parasitic vultures.

Any country that can afford to fight wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and maintain over 800 foreign military bases scattered around the globe protecting cheap resources and cheap labor markets for Wall Street certainly can find the financial resources to implement these kinds of public works programs.

The way to create jobs is to look at what society and people need to live better lives and what is required to solve our problems... putting people back to work by solving our social problems is the only way to go about getting out of this economic mess we are in.

Another suggestion that would solve a very pressing problem for most working class families would be a national system of public day care and pre-school centers... this would create well over four-million new jobs.

I find it interesting these politicians working for Wall Street's merchants of death and destruction have no qualms about spending more and more on these dirty imperialist wars of Obama's and the Democrats initially begun by George Bush; but, when it comes to spending on what working people need to live better lives there is always this concern about "fiscal responsibility" and "where the money is going to come from.

Well, if we don't have the required funds to do all of this after ending these dirty wars, then just tax the hell out of the rich to pay for it all--- this is what redistribution of wealth is all about. Tax the rich until they squeal like the big fat pigs they are. Tax the hell out of their income and tax them to beat hell on their property and mansions.
