Bernie Sanders to announce plan to guarantee every American a job
« on: April 23, 2018, 08:04:47 pm »
Santa Claus is coming to town....

Quote
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will announce a plan for the federal government to guarantee a job paying $15 an hour and health-care benefits to every American worker “who wants or needs one,” embracing the kind of large-scale government works project that Democrats have shied away from in recent decades.
Sanders's jobs guarantee would fund hundreds of projects throughout the United States aimed at addressing priorities such as infrastructure, care giving, the environment, education and other goals. Under the job guarantee, every American would be entitled to a job under one of these projects or receive job training to be able to do so, according to an early draft of the proposal......

Considering that most Bernie Sanders' supporters like to work about as much as Manyard G. Krebs,   I don't see this being very popular.

It's like promising "a chicken in every pot", but since they're all vegans, Bernie's Army only wants the pot.

BTW, if anyone was wondering if the Bern was running again, look no further than this nonsense program.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with that.  I keep hearing about how black Americans should be happy about the black unemployment rate being at record lows under Trump, but that's forgetting there are a lot of black Americans who don't want to work, they want reparations.  Free Gibsmedats.  I'd probably be accused of something if I put that on Bookface, but I would given the chance because it's true.

If he's running again, that's good news for Trump.  News as good as the news McGovern was winning the Primaries was for Richard Nixon.

This dumb bastard would be the automatic front runner if he did run. He already has a base and organizations set up in all 50 states. Run Bern Run!

Reminds me of guaranteed employment in the USSR.

60% of the fruit in grocery stores was rotten because the Govt. provided Full Employment.

The people packing it didn't care because they didn't have to.

It just all went in the box because they were guaranteed a job.

No one is owed anything in this country.

Bernie and his good little Socialist/Communist followers can't seem to grasp that.

That's because they don't believe it.  It is owed to them.  Thus the concept of "Gibsmedats" was borne, of the 60's Great Society.

Thank God I was able to hammer home to my kids that any entity capable of giving you everything has the same power to take it away from you. And that it's far more satisfying to earn anything you have than to simply have it given to you...there's more pride in ownership.

Are you kidding? Most of the young people today were taught from the time they were children that work was bad,and smart people looked for jobs where they didn't  have to work.

Here is  Bolshevik Bernie offering them the promise of life-long jobs they can't be fired from,with automatic raises. They are going to LOVE it.

You are reading the words,but not receiving the message. They are being promised well-paying JOBS. Nobody is saying they are ever going to have to do any work.

"Jobs" means a different thing to the 20 year olds of today than it did the 20 year olds in the 50's and early 60's. To us geezers,it meant work. To today's slackers,it means a paid position in life.

Ah.  The "Soviet" meaning of the word "jobs."  Hadn't thought of it that way.

It should,because that is exactly what it is.

Or as the Soviet citizens used to joke,"We pretend to work,and they pretend to pay us."

Those goobers are too ignorant to understand that for a company to pay them an actual living wage,that company has to sell something for a profit. They actually think that the answer to this is for the government to control prices as well as wages,and that it will all work out perfectly. The fact that this has NEVER worked anywhere it has been tried is meaningless to them because they think "it just wasn't done right,THIS time it will work!".

What happens in a communist system is that the "workers" do indeed have money left over after buying the essentials to survive after being paid every week. The reason is there is nothing for them to spend their money on beyond the essentials because it's not being made.

Not true! We are OWED the RIGHT to live free.

I know that is hard to believe these days,but 30+ years ago it was a right everyone took for granted.

We lost that right because too many people were demanding the government "do something" to keep other people from doing or thinking things they didn't approve of for whatever reason,and slowly,step by step,we arrived where we are today.

That is a God given right...unalienable if you will...just like the Founding Fathers said in the Declaration.

It's not owed...it's expected.

This whole crap about people being "owed" a "living wage"...being "owed" a college education...being "owed" a job is crap.

Those are things you go out and do on your own.  No one should ever expect to be owed those things....or anything they have in their lives.

Yes,and we,as a nation, failed to do that. We allowed the globalists in both the Dim and the alleged Republican Party take over,and let them do anything they wanted to do.
