What could be done to create large scale employment?

Unfortunately, we already have enough houses sitting vacant to satisfy the social demand. We have bankers here demolishing perfectly good houses as we speak.

 

Are you in Ohio?

 

Are you suggesting Americans want to be paid pennies on the dollar so they can have their old jobs back? I don't understand you're logic.

 

The more government intervention there is the more the US becomes a third world country.

 

elaborate please?

 

Nope. Arizona. Is demolishing houses a big issue in Ohio?

 

What causes the diminishment of a nations status? A weak economy, a weak currency, a weak social structure and a weak government... the US has it all.

 

Yes, they're razing entire housing developments... moving residents to other developments.

 

Please elaborate on the following:

Weak American dollar
Weak social structure
Weak government
Weak economy

 

Worst Idea Ever Jack......with a 0.0% chance of success. We have plenty of AFFORDABLE HOUSING right now.......look out the window. In Fact......its getting more affordable everyday.....

Now for something completely different....and a 100% Success Rate.......

Unemployment Rate after The JFK Tax Cuts



Unemployment Rate after The Reagan Tax Cuts



Unemployment Rate after The Bush Tax Cuts


Shrink the Parasite of Government..........and the Host Organsim will start growing again........

Don't you keep up with the news?

The US dollar is weak, it has little buying power.
The US social structure is largely based on hero worship.
The US government is an authoritarian oligarchy.
The US economy is on the brink of total failure.

 

So in other words, you have nothing else to say other than baseless broad generalizations?

Cool story bro!

 

Gee, you seem to have nothing to contribute except Tom Brady photos.

 

Well I'm not the one trying to argue that America is weak without providing some facts/evidence/links to support my conclusion. You can say what you want about me, but at least I'm not making claims without supporting them.

Participation rates peaked in late 90's.
We had a huge housing bubble and economy associated with it. Participation rates fell. So unemployment #s were not telling the whole story.
You can reduce all taxes to 0, gov't will still be there.

 

except that your last graph shows unemployment rising again in late 2007 and into 2008 when we fell into recession. The Bush Tax cuts are still in effect today and unemployment has been sitting at roughly 9 percent for almost 4 years now. Obviously your conclusion that low taxes equate into law unemployment is not true.

 

Anyway, it's quite simple how to increase workforce participation as it's no coincidence that we have the lowest rate of workforce participation since the 70s and we've made it easier than ever to rely on food stamps and unemployment.

People are simply unwilling to work for the wages people are willing to pay them and they have the luxury of relying on taxpayer subsidies to enable their unproductive behaviour.

We need to drastically reduce aid to the poor and the economy would flourish as we'd suddenly become far more productive as a society.

 

In terms of stimulating employment, allowing people to keep more of their own money has proven far more effective than spending an additional trillion.

Just look at Obama's stimulus's effect on unemployment. Or rather, lack of effect. Though I suppose if you are one of Obama's wealthy donors you likely benefited quite well from the stimulus.

 

Thats horrible. Food stamps of course can only be used for food items. Its not like people are using food stamps to buy themselves flat screen TVs or booze. And unemployment benefits are only given out to people who lose their jobs through no fault of their own. And that aid is only given out to people for a little under 2 years. After that they are on their own. Don't fool yourself. These aren't government assisted programs that people can live off of their whole lives. There are millions of people and families who rely on this aid. You are simply generalizing that anyone who receives these benefits are lazy people who don't want to work.

We are not at the lowest rates if you go back decades.
So your food stamp theory doesn't hold true.

 

No, just generalizing people won't work for $1.00/day. And I would agree with that statement. Until our labor rates match the rest of the world we will be void of new jobs.

 

Large scale employment is looking like it is out of question. Due to the way we consume but do not replace as rapidly or greed if you will, is to be our demise. We must "conserve" our natural resources and protect them, like water. How long can you survive without any water? We transport goods from one side of the country to the other an a very expensive rate using trucks. Trains can go 500 kiles on one galon of fuel, but we want to use trucks because there are a great amount of truckers out there. Perhaps it is time to move away from trucks for starters. What will those truckers do? Hard to tell, but the government should not support them for more than a minimum of time to locate new employment.

Large corporations have gobbled-up farms for the past 40-50 years. perhaps it is time to start thinking about letting farmers farm properly, without so much government infiltration. We have problems, and ignoring them will not make them go away.

 

In my opinion, we should be "refurbishing" America instead of simply bailing out persons who are not in official poverty and can afford to hire entire departments to help them conform to rational choice theory.

 

And by "refurbishing" of course you mean initiating large scale infrastructure projects like building millions of affordable homes, correct?

 

What can be done to create large scale employment?

LOWER SPENDING ON ENTITLEMENTS/BIG POLICE STATE/WARS, END BIG BANKING and END BIG LAND RENT!!

Become a geoist-capitalist today before it's too late, folks.
