Actually, that sounds a lot like FDR's New Deal.

In this crisis, the New Deal doesn't sound too bad. Save the country. Amend the Constitution to make it legal this time, preferably, but save this country, or else the Constitution will be a moot issue. I like everything perfectly legal, but as Harry Turtledove observed in the Guns of the South, it's best to save the Republic first and then worry about rectifying damage to its laws and institutions, in a great crisis like this.

Do you happen to know why it was declared unconstitutional? Amending the Constitution is supposed to be a very serious business, so it takes a long time. The situation is serious right now, but I wonder if things could be done in time.

Well, during the New Deal, the Supreme Court had some federalism issues (understandably) with the various agencies. In any events, when the public really wants an Amendment, it doesn't always take that long. Especially when its necessity is evident.

The 12 Amendment, for example. The aftermath of the Burr-Jefferson tie convinced many that it was needed.

On the other hand, the 21st Amendment had to deal with some hard-core Prohibitionist sentiment, even after the clear failure of Prohibition.

When was the last time you were accepted for a job without a face to face interview? Or more than one?

All the time, but I've got a reputation and samples to speak for me. It's less likely that a newbie writer could do this, but I think that for magazine articles and even books, they could, too... but it'd take personal moxie. Rarely do I meet the people I work for.

1. Infrastructure. We do need to repair roads and bridges now in a bad way.
2. Immigration. Sorry, but open borders are not a good idea.
3. Trade. Free trade up to a point is wise, but beyond that point, it's national suicide. We have to be able to keep our national sovereignty and our industrial base.
4. Environment. Companies won't police themselves, and they often fight the technological advances useful to making pollutants unnecessary and obsolete. Big Oil being a case in point.
5. Drug approval/ R &D- when it gets to the point that some drugs are being approved that are bad ideas and others that are necessary are suppressed because they might cut into certain companies' profit margins for obsolete drugs, then it is time to rein it in.
6. Health care. If private insurers won't cover or actually insure some people, they can't complain when someone else does it instead. Even when that's the public sector.
7. Securities- look, the stock market is not going away, and I don't want it to. I just want to curtail the excesses and prevent ordinary investors and depositors from being penalized for the incompetence and dishonesty of certain executives. Capitalism is good, but gambling with other peoples' money against their will and wishes is not. Especially when you stick them with the bill.

FWIW, I think I'm in 90% or better of this. Where we might disagree is how we get there and the priorities in this list and adding a few things that aren't in this list, but I think that my goals are strongly aligned with yours.

But I suspect that most of the chronically unemployed do not have your education or experience. I have a nephew with a GED who is almost illiterate when he writes and scores low in reading comprehension. If he had to rely on the internet for job searches and interviews, he would never have a job.

And, of course, you assume that these chronically unemployed have both a computer and internet access at home. Internet access might be much more of a luxury if you're unemployed and struggling to stay in your home. When you have to rely on the library and unemployment offices for computer access, you are restricted to the hours they are open.

I just helped a friend who we know through my wife's bowling league in her job search. She's a very nice person and pretty qualified for general office work, but she doesn't have a lot of experience with job-hunting. Well, most people don't, actually; it's a separate skill set. I just rewrote her resume, which didn't do a good job of selling her. We haven't had a chance to find out how this does, but it's clear that she could get a better job than she's had. But how much upward mobility she's actually able to envision, I don't know. She needs some coaching and I'm not in a position to do nearly as much for her as I would like to.

The thing is, she's someone who's got a lot of potential and already has 20 years experience doing office work. Not well-paid office work, but she's good at what she does. She has a core of confidence. Many people have far, far less confidence or skills or personal resources to work with.

Well we had a reshuffle, but I'd be up for a fresh deck to clear out some of the cowards and seflserving in Congress.

A New Deal with a Fresh Deck!

Or a revolution. According to Jefferson, we're long overdue.

You have a point. But it's a tempting thought, the more I watch the liars and fools who have bamboozled the public into giving them their trust. Between President Bush and his schemes and the hypocritical way that the Democratic Congress deflected its share of the blame for the mortgage bubble and ensuing recession, I despair of the present political establishment, regardless of party.

Exactly. Not a first resort. Just a last resort. And always an ever present threat to give the people leverage with the government.

I want one, mainly because of this quote from the ad copy:

“This blow-up sex doll could really satisfy the swing voters.”

Were there any where she gets it hard up the ass without lube?

Nice article.

Myself, I don't understand why it's news.

Beautiful. Thanks for that one, kid.

The Economist weighs in on the Republican loss.

This line struck me as brutal, but oh-so-true: Republicans are becoming the party of “white-trash pride”.

My father was one of those scary-smart people: Bachelor's of Engineering from Auburn (Electrical), Masters in Mathematics from MIT - he worked with NASA on the space program with Von Braun. He was a die hard Republican, but he would have been so ashamed of the direction the party has taken, and he would have been absolutely appalled at the selection of McCain as the party nominee, and then sickened at his choice of Palin as the VP running mate.

 

[rgraham666]

Here's a column by Paul Krugman I read several years ago that, in my opinion, shows that this change in the Republican Party was pretty much inevitable.
