And Now the Media Goes Down

Not an anomaly, not a coincidence so it must be a pattern. Most people are aware of the Rupert Murdoch scandal and how his newspaper was hacking people's phone messages and how the police were paid for their assistance. Now we have a nice story proving the dishonesty and fixed message of mainstream media.

Here is the thing, one by one we are destroying all large industries that can exert any influence over government. That is what is going on. Mainstream Media is on it's last legs, it is dead. There are many bloggers and much news on the internet; but, it is intentionally left confusing, it is difficult to know if facts have been checked. How does one know who to trust?

No expert will be trusted in the future as all areas of expertise have allowed themselves to be prostituted for money and fame. Cookies. Problem is, we need experts, we just need honest ones. We need an honest society, do you wish to help in achieving that? There is too little honesty and that starts with everyone of us. What happens when we cannot trust each other, which way does society go.

Can You See it Coming Yet? Want to bet me?

Firstly, the Post Office is about to lay off 120,000 when unemployment is the biggest national problem. Secondly, companies that are hiring are often telling the unemployed that they are only hiring people who already have jobs. Thirdly, Congress is about to create a super committee to come up with a jobs program. Got all that.

So, with a short time frame and businesses refusing to hire the unemployed, what is the logical next step, come on now, if you have been reading my blog for a while then you know I have said what they are going to do on a couple of occasions, class, class, put on your thinking caps and lets get to work on this. Don't forget that we just increased the debt ceiling by trillions.

The first thing to look at is what work needs to be done. Well, the cities, counties and states are all laying off. Work needs to be done on the nations infrastructure (roads, bridges and rail). Giving money to private industry doesn't seem to create jobs, just raises for the CEOs. Hmmm, what has been the most successful job creation program in the history of the United States? That might be something to consider. Oh, year it was the Works Progress Administration.

That is what I have said is coming since before the stimulus was enacted. Now, if this super committee comes back with such a proposal then I want a cookie for having accurately predicted it, chocolate chip and soft, not hard.
