ECONOMICS
057
~~ 057 because,
as you may know,.. I am mentally challenged ~~
Economics in my
Conservativity-based world is a little difficult to grasp hold of
but, I do my best,.. trudging through the darkness with candle
a-flicker,.. hand cusped to protect from the walking breezes. I
'tweet,' as 'ThatCrazyFeller,' and my major follow is the political
world. I do love politics. One such follow I have is 'The Hill,' and
it was there, late-night, I received a rather interesting bit of
news.
“
@thehillThe
Hill
“ Was the exacted tweet in
question.
Now, then, interest
peaked due to the popularity of the 'OWS' ,.. umm,.. I'll call it a
movement (not bowel one, neither-- I get those when the Right
Honourable President of the United States speaks {and loose ones, at
that}). I hear that they speak of the need for jobs, equality, food
and housing, the whole of the list escapes me but,.. I am counting on
your intellect to recall it for yourself, please and thank you. I
looked into the article, as always,.. to the point, shorter than
some, with fewer journalistic comments than most I've read/followed.
Well, the article begins (I am
purviewing as necc., as I don't want to misguide anyone), with the
declaration that Senate GOP-folk blocked legislation by the
administration for jobs bill legislation[s]. 'Hmm,' said my mind, and
I read onward.
It's their piece, and I ain't
gonna' steal that person's typing. Have a read, you'll be glad you
did. I found the basic gist of the story to be that Republicans, say
the Democrats, are blocking jobs bills put forward by the President
to help make said President a 1-term office-holder, an economic
failure, and something akin to a Jimmy Carter-esque style Leader of
the ('Free') World. Those Democrats seemed to be explaining that the
Republican's blockage of these provisions are what gave rise to the
'OWS Movement,' (again,.. 'OWS' means 'Occupy Wall Street,' – it
has NOTHING to do with a person's innards).
So's the article went on
and explained other stuffs as well. Again, READ THE ARTICLE FOR
YOURSELF people. And don't stop with just that article,.. read those
associated comments, as well. 3 pages (over 44 of 'em) last I saw.
You'll see the political hatred drawn out by these adversarial giants
(Dems. and GOP) over something as simple as governing to help bring
about economic changes. Perhaps not so simple.
Being an Independent
Conservative, my 'box' has many an intended hole in it,.. so's I can
grab ideas which aren't necc. Conservative but, fit well in my lil
world of Conservativity. I'm seeing this argument from a different
angle then,..and the few rays of sunlight which adorn my eyeballs,
without poking them directly and blinding me, tell me something's
amiss. There's no common-sense debate at the moment, and it's this
debate which we need in order to move forward, and get this economy
going again. Downright anger generated by the parties involved is
making it right difficult for any kind of rational debate, far as I
can tell. Granted, the comments may be being 'planted' in order to
arouse anger n such-not but,.. I'm not bright enough to know what's
'planted,' and what's not. Please allow me a little leeway, and let
me assume most things said in those comments are truths (some of the
seething is glaringly obvious, and I can figure those comments
semi-invalid.. they must be weighed each, their own, though).
O
my, I just re-read the article, and some of my assumptions have
changed even more from when I wrote those comments.. I'll try n
correct them here.
I had, originally,
assumed that the Right Honourable President was speaking the truth
when he mentioned that this provision of The Jobs Act was meant to
“create jobs” when, after reading further into the body of the
article, the measures of this provision are meant to “prevent
layoffs” of teachers, firefolk and policefolk (first responding
individuals). Changes the attitude of what's going on a wee bit,
but, by golly, I ain't wanting to 'spread more shit,' as we say in
Hellinois. This country needs debate. Open and Honest. Well, even
with parameters changed, the points in my unstable mind are still
valid. I will still assume that this provision was created in order
to create new jobs, save someone's job, or to help support someone's
job (whatever the hell that means, I am ignorant on this idea).
We're even.. my
assumption that the measure was to save/support/create 2 million
jobs was incorrect. This is a $35 Billion [with a freakin' 'B']
measure. That's still quite a considerable sum of money, though
(enough to fully fund NASA a few years, helping to keep the US in the
fore-front of technology). Okay, there was a report out that those
public-sectors jobs s/s/c cost the taxpayers about $100K a year while
the average private-sector job cost the taxpayers nothing, and added
$50K a year to individual incomes. $35 Billion (with a 'B') divided
by $100,000.00 is what ?? **gets my calculator** (yes,..I chat a
LOT) – 350,000 jobs s/s/c . Now,..We need check that to how many
jobs could be created by the millionaire taxes being spent on jobs
,.. $35 Billion (again,..with a 'B') divided by $50,000.00 equals
what??.. hmm,..just multiply 350,000 by 2, cause 50k is ½ 100k,
..so's,.. 700,000 jobs could be s/s/c by NOT taxing those
millionaires 0.5% over everything they make over $1 Million US. .
Double the jobs made available for the same price.
Conservativity says that
double the jobs means double Up on those taxes, 'cause those 'rich'
folks making $200,000.00 and more are taxed higher than the 'poor'
folks making $100,000 or $50,000 a year. Twice the people working??
More tax revenues developed because not all those people will be
getting exemptions for children and what-not. From personal
experiences – I am disabled on minimum disability for my
schizophrenia, and I receive 102 in food stamps on the link card here
in Hellinois, I'm not disabled enough to qualify for SSI here because
2 heart attacks aren't enough to qualify – that means that there
will be about , again,..**calculator time** $71,400,000 dollars in
extra savings from food stamp benefits alone in one year's time by
helping those millionaires put people to work, save or support jobs
already on the books. Savings from the Right Honourable President's
plan in food stamps?? about ½, if those 350,000 lost their jobs,
eh, let's give him $36 Million in savings for food stamps.
This, alone, should help
people understand the benefits of NOT passing this provision.
'OWS'
Movement asks for Jobs,.. Healthcare, … Business' ask for relief
from Obamascare, needing credit from banks for expansion and help
from the US Government on regulatory requirements in the near future
before hiring because those costs may be too prohibitive, … Banks
reluctant to lend due to overall economy, citing poor performances of
the US and most 1st
World Nations' GDP to Debt ratios, and European Banking troubles.
Please allow my
Conservativity a 'stab' at a few of these troubles plaguing the US
Economy. Eh,..perhaps later but,.. there is a 'fix,' and it saves us
more money than it'd take to implement it. Our economy could
possibly turn around much sooner. Think on it for yourselves awhile.
Thanks for you patience,
