ANOTHER LETTER INSTRUCTING US HAS ARRIVED...!!
WHERE I WOULD DISAGREE IS THAT THE "INFRA-STRUCTURE INVESTMENTS" SHOULD BE IN "ROADS, BRIDGES AND SCHOOLS...!"
THAT IS SO FUCKING 1930'S!!
YES, JEB, WE ARE HERE TO ELECTRIFY YOUR FARMSTEAD...!! NO MORE SOUR MILK AND KEROSENE LAMPS!!
AND THE GRAVEL ROAD IN FRONT OF YOUR FARM WILL BE PAVED...BY THE RANKS OF THE AMERICAN UNEMPLOYED!!
THAT IS SO FUCKING LAME...!
HELLOoooo....! MOST OF OUR ROADS ARE PAVED...EVERYONE WHO WANTS ELECTRICITY HAS IT... WE ALL HAVE CELL PHONES EVEN IN THE BOONDOCKS...
OK SOME ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED...BUT SORRY...
ROADS, BRIDGES AND SCHOOLS IS RIGHT OUT OF THE 1930'S PLAY BOOK OF FDR...
WE AINT THERE NOW...AND WE AINT GOIN BACK...!!
THE REAL "INFRASTRUCTURE" THAT AMERICA NEEDS IS...
1. A NATIONAL HEALTH CARE PLAN SO EMPLOYERS CAN "AFFORD" TO HIRE PEOPLE AND CREATE NEW JOBS...
2. A NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL POLICY THAT ENCOURAGES COMPANIES TO MANUFACTURE INSIDE THE US
3. A NATIONAL LABOR POLICY THAT PROVIDES RIGHTS TO NON-PUBLIC SECTOR NON-UNION WORKERS...WITHOUT PERHAPS THE NEED TO GO BACK TO 1930'S STYLE GANGLAND UNIONISM ALA THE TEAMSTERS... CAN'T WORKERS RIGHTS BE LEGISTATED...AND NOT FOUGHT OUT ON THE STREETS WITH BRICKBATS AND GOONS...? I THINK THEY CAN ...AND MUST IF THE MIDDLE CLASS IS EVER TO SURVIVE IN AMERICA.
PLEASE NOTE THAT MOST OF THE WORLD ALREADY HAS THESE POLICIES IN PLACE...ONLY THE DYSFUNCTIONAL US ECONOMY HAS DEEMED ITSELF "EXCEPTIONAL" ENOUGH NOT TO NEED THEM...
WELL THAT BIT OF BULLSHIT IS OVER NOW IT SEEMS...
SO, SORRY ST.PAUL...YOU'RE ALL WET ON THE "NEW NEW DEAL" BULLSHIT...
TRY TO FORGET ABOUT ROOSEVELT AND THE 1930'S PLAYBOOK...AND MOVE INTO OUR NEW CENTURY...ASAP!
