Needed: Robust 21st Century Jobs Corps that smartens - AWSC

-          We have become increasingly subdued and subservient to other nations and mega corporations;

-          The CIA Factbook informs us that we are a nation more unequal in wealth than the Ivory Coast, Pakistan, Ethiopia, and Kazakhstan;

-          Our middle class disappears and poverty oozes outward;

-          A minuscule number of uber-rich increasingly control what were once a middle class nation's assets, stocks, technology, workers paychecks, and property; the so-called crazy terrorists patiently destroy what was once the strongest player at the world's poker table.

 

 

FDR quickly learned what to do when America's middle class was melted away.   Take on entrenched powers at home and abroad.  Freeze them out at the public policy table.  Put a nation -- unemployed men and belittled women -- to work on basic and challenging needs.  

 

And don't revert to the canard that it was war that ended the depression, not FDR's Keynesian economic and taxing policies.   If you want to buy that bridge, then put today's America on a war budget that peacefully employs and smartens Americans by building   infrastructure that produces a strong economic multiplier, which does not multiply when expensive bombs blow homes, people, and multipliers away.

 

Why not put Americans to work in an updated 21st century WPA/CCC by pushing Congress to introduce People's Lobby's American World Service Jobs Corps Congressional Proposal?

 

Employ and deploy 21 million Americans over the next 27 years into peacefully rebuilding America and world. Use the ten funding mechanisms in People's Lobby's proposed AWSC Congressional Proposal and Fair Tax Bracket Reinstitution Act , which involves the uber-rich in sharing and serving.  

 

By investing less than $40,000 annually per AWSC volunteer in peaceful service, building, and earning degreed education, we reduce the $1 million per year we throw into bloodying each of our military personnel; and we insure that this robust service corps makes generational changes by running it for 27 years before sunsetting is considered.
