Senator Kirsten Gillibrand Government Guarenteed Jobs For All Americans

[Madmallard]

For decades, the idea of government-guaranteed jobs for all Americans has stalked the outer edges of political debate.

Why Democrats Should Embrace a Federal Jobs Guarantee

I just don't understand where this movement for socialism is coming from. Yet people will say it's just a conspiracy theory that right-wing nutjobs use to drum up fear. Really, anyone that says that anymore has got to be some sort of government shill or actively working for a foreign government trying to discredit the right so that the Socialist can get a stronger grip over Society.

Never before has there been such a strong movement for the Socialists ( in my adult life time) then you go ahead and look at what Google, Facebook, YouTube Etc are doing.

Reminds me of a piece I read years ago about Russia.
Apparently they made trucks in western Russia, then shipped half of them to some place in eastern Russia. Took them apart and then made buses out of them.
All to keep everyone working!

 

[kev74]

How is this different than work for welfare? Better marketing?

 

[Catskillkid]

And watch the rich move overseas just as they're doing in Britain, France and Germany to countries with lower taxes.

Because every socialist from peon to leader think they are the smartest people. This leads into them discounting the previous fail of socialism. They write it off because they are smarter than the previous people.

Yeah ! ....and Hillary promised a lot of shit when she was running for NY Senator - 80,000 high-tech, high pay jobs for upstate NY, and high-speed internet for all of NY state, -- all bullshit - all never happened.

 

[kev74]

I bet the unions are wetting themselves about this already.

 

[Robin]

So the dim bulb is going to light up the world with the rebooting of an economic/political plan that has failed repeatedly and cost the lives of at least a hundred million people. Let me see, how shall I wrap my shit today, oh this pink paper should reduce the stink.

I wonder if Miss. Piggy has considered what she'd like to do with those who didn't want to work. Would she cut off their welfare? Maybe round them up into prison camps? I'd like to hear more details about this plan of hers.

No, what she'll do is continue to incentivize them to have more children by paying them more for each additional kid they have and in turn they will be future Democrat voters.

Rather than put a cap on how many children we have to support on their behalf, they just give them more of our tax dollars. The same exact reason why they want to bring in all of the less fortunate people from the third world. They will all be dependent on the system and therefore vote for the Democrats.

If you're going to offer people barely enough to live on but they have to work, or offer them barely enough to live on but they can sit on their asses all day, not too many are going to sign up for the shitty job.

I'm curious if she's really willing to go full communist and punish those who won't do as they're told.

WWSD - What would Stalin do?

 

[GOPerfect]

I hope she keeps this kind of talk going. She has many, many wacko type ideas. I want her to get all of her ideas out to as many Americans as possible.

This is freaken awesome!

 

[Deplorable Me]

What work? The problem will be getting some people to actually show up.

 

[AK68]

What work? The problem will be getting some people to actually show up.

Gillibrand will take care of that problem by giving them free cars - like Obummer gave free phones.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I have a job for her. Test dummy for driver-less cars.

 

[99cummins]

There already are jobs for everyone. You just have to get off your ass and realize that you aren’t worth $25/hour right off the bat just because you are you. I see and hear about job openings constantly. I get they aren’t all dream jobs but you have to start somewhere.

I have a guy working for me who grew up in the inner city of Buffalo.
He and his yoinger brother and mom moved here to the sticks to get away from the ghetto.
He says 100% of his friends in Buffalo think its uncool to get a job. They literally laugh at you and shun you if you even hint at a higher education or a career.
Selling drugs, selling guns, robbery, burglary, pimping, welfare and gambling are the ONLY options if you dont want to be beaten or robbed yourself.
This is the cancer running rampant through our country.
People that think like this number in the 10s of millions and growing. My friend has 11 cousins......from one unwed aunt......ELEVEN.....and thats not uncommon.
They dont want jobs.
Why are there not big factories in the inner city?
Because there are no workers.
There are thousands of healthy, working age people, but none are willing.
Shut off welfare and let them work or starve.

I agree. It's worked for mother nature for tens of thousands of years.

 

[Michael]

Good luck convincing those on welfare that they actually need to work for their money. Besides, they should be creating no more jobs than are needed for the general disfunction of government.

Shut off welfare and let them work or starve.

First part- this is actually incentivized. They keep giving them more and more money when they have more kids . These are future Democrat voters we are talking about


Second part- Yes.

Excuse me Sir, Buffalo isn't one big ghetto. Most of the people here do have jobs and work . There are still million dollar homes here, Condos on the waterfront. buildings full of workers . There are hundreds of small shops on Hurtle Ave alone. The average home in N Buffalo (where I live) is over 150, 000 A lot over 200,00 + and they are quick to sell. One day when your driving through , take a good look at the harbor full beautiful boats.

[Podmonkey]

What did the soviets used to say about their government guaranteed jobs? Oh right "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work"
Yup, that system sure worked out well, didn't it?

 

[Shadow2]

$150-200K is quick too sell because that's bargain pricing. Westchester County lowest you'll find is $300 for something that isn't a piece of shit fixer upper and $13k in taxes.

What the heck are you talking about?
Nowhere did I say ALL of Buffalo.
I clearly said the "inner city", the East side is where he grew up, Box St or Box Ave, I dont remember.
I live close to Buffalo and go there often
I have many friends from the area who are not in the "bad" areas.
I do have relatives from Depew who dont dare leave their house day or night. When they bought their home 50 years ago, it was a great neighborhood where they knew everyone. Now, they dont talk to any of their neighbor's. Over the years most of the homes have been sold and now house low rent tenants that never stay long.

Even though you live only a few miles from where my friend grew up, its worlds away. Where he lived, $30,000 is about as high as homes sell for. Most go at auction for under $20,000.
