What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

Look where the lines are now...

I went to Randall’s grocery store- part of the huge Albertson conglomerate which took over Safeway, too- trying to find a few things I couldn’t find any place else... there was only one cashier working checking people out and there was a line of over forty people waiting to be checked out! Many people had shopping carts packed full... the lady in front of me had almost four-hundred dollars when her bill was tallied. The woman in back of me was pushing one full cart and pulling another full cart.



Insane!


I asked the cashier why they only had one line open; he said, “No one is showing up for work; want a job?”
