DEATH OF A CIVILIZATION IV

May be that I am too harsh, but the truth is a bitter pill to swallow. Had it not been so I believe many more would have listen to me and followed my advice, or at least given consideration to my word. But people today, as always, do not wish to here the truth, especially if and when you are warning them of the impending doom.

Here is some good news and some bad news, the problem is that the bad news is really, really awful and depressing, as the bad news is the real truth.

The president elect announced that his fiscal policy will create two and a half million new jobs by the end of 2010. That is all the good news, now for the truth or as we call it the bad news, at the current rate of half a million jobs lost per month we would have lost nine million jobs by the start of 2010, and that on top of a hundred thousand jobs a month that are already not being created currently. Can you say an unemployment rate of forty percent or more?

How do I arrive at the forty percent figure, when at the depth of the great depression the unemployment rate was only twenty five percent they say.

First you must realize that back the economy needed many more people to function. Most work was physical and labor intensive, to day we don't need many workers to perform jobs, in factories and in offices or the fields. Even as the government creates more jobs in whatever manner, it is hard to imagine that this job creation will of itself create more jobs and thus have an exponential effect. Since more and more jobs are lost in services and in sales the government can not recreate these jobs. It is hard to imagine that people who will be placed in these "new jobs" will automatically go out and spend everything like we have been doing for thirty years, or that they will be w willing to have their lawns mowed, or pay someone to do their house cleaning and such. Thus the jobless rate will keep going up and up.

Secondly, during the depression era women were not among the unemployed, now with sixty percent of the women working and their jobs being mainly in services and sales, and the jobs in services and sales declining, women will suffer the most from the declining job numbers.

This may be a good time to search this blog for items on "slavery" "slaves" and "legalizing prostitution"
