America Needs Jobs, Jobs, Jobs…And More Jobs!
Socialism piece by
Gordon Bishop
Almost everyone seems to be waiting for President Obama to say or DO something—anything!—about millions and millions of people out of work who can’t find jobs.
This is the worst of times for Americans since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
So what is Obama waiting for?
An Angel from Heaven to arrive and save him and his radical Administration from collapsing in the middle of a crisis?
One of the reasons I did not vote for Obama was his inexperience and lack of credentials to run the most powerful nation in the world—the United States of America.
The voters in Massachusetts expressed their feelings about Obama and his radical agenda for America when one of the most liberal states in the U.S. voted for a conservative independent Republican, Scott Brown, to fill the seat of U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy, who owned that seat for 50 years until he died of brain cancer last year.
Nobody ever heard of Scott Brown last year, until he jumped into the Senatorial Race in Massachusetts—and won with what could be called a surprising “landslide.”
Amazingly, Massachusetts has become the leader of the Boston Tea Party Revolution against the radical Leftist President and his disastrous Gang from the South Side of Chicago, the most corrupt city in America.
The liberal mainstream media, led by ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, PBS, and the New York Times and too, too many other newspapers and magazines, including the Associated Press.
America is sitting on a political ticking time bomb about to explode at any moment.
My greatest worry is that the once strong and respected currency in the world—the American Dollar—is now worth only 20 cents.
Sorry, folks! That’s the price of uncontrolled inflation and the position of other countries not to invest in the United States of America because it faces trillions of dollars of debt, which could result in the collapse, or bankruptcy, of the U.S. economy.
How could this have happened to the most powerful nation on the planet?
Simple. The massive tax-and-spend liberals in control of this country don’t know how to handle a candy store, much less a multi-trillion-dollar debt that must be paid off, some day, with interest.
We’re now under the largest debt-load in American history.
And the radical President in the White House has no clue on how to get us out of this jobless Depression!
Does anyone in government really know how many people are out of work? Five million?
10 Million? Fifteen Million, Twenty Million?
Gannett News reported this week that Obama should focus more on his economic message than on his plan to move health care reform forward, now that the election of a Republican to a Senate seat from Massachusetts has left Senate Democrats without a filibuster-proof majority.
Personally, I think that the Massachusetts election was a resounding Referendum on the Radical Obama Regime.
America is suffering from jobless-itis. The reason: A steady loss of jobs every month.
More and more workers are afraid they’ll be losing their jobs—and medical benefits from companies that still offer their employees such valuable “Entitlements.”
In a way, I’m glad I’m 72 and mostly retired and living on my Star-Ledger newspaper pension and Social Security monthly checks. So is my wife, who is a retired public school teacher (State Government) also enjoying her government Entitlements, which are actually better than what the private sector pays its employees.
Our two daughters keep reminding us that they may not be getting such Golden Entitlements if they retire at 62 or 65.
Why? Medicare, Medicaid and other government entitlements may be out of business by then because of a lack of government revenues (taxes).
Fortunately, our two daughters, now in their 40s, will split our investments—enough to pay off their home mortgages.
My wife and I never received benefits from our parents because they only had a few thousand dollars in the bank, which went straight to our children (their grandchildren).
That was okay. My wife and I are both professionals in our chosen careers and only had one mortgage on our home at the Jersey Shore, which we paid off in 7 years.
I live by the rule, “Don’t borrow unless you can pay off the loan or mortgage in a few years.”
Our children bought homes in Sea Bright and Manasquan Shores, with monthly mortgage payments of $2,000.
We paid only $35,000 for our Shore home in 1971, with monthly payments of$175.
My now adult daughters paid over $200,000 for their shore homes.
That’s the major difference between our generation and their generation.
In a word: INFLATION!
