UNIVERSITIES-NATION BUILDING-ECONOMIC SALVATION: A GOOD COMBINATION FOR AMERICAN SURVIVAL!!

(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

There is nothing so silly & devastating as financial institutions that have made student loans and now threatening these college graduates for loan defaults. In addition, to add insult to injury, these loans have been sold at a discount to “Collection Agencies” that are harassing people for money that do not have and have no way to earn at this time. All this is taking place when there are no jobs available for American college graduates.

It seems that the government and universities must extend their programs into paid interimships to journeyman (One who has fully served an apprenticeship in a trade or craft and is a qualified worker in another's employ.

http://www.answers.com/topic/journeyman#ixzz1PRnLlb42) and/or apprenticeships as a standard part of the curriculum. Both public and private journeymen and practitioners must be provided funds to pay these potential working Americans in building the infrastructure, law enforcement, renewable energy sources, psychological services, health and management, etc. This concept should extent to all degrees including but not limited to social, scientific, and management degrees. When working as a research chemist, the company reported that it took about $40 thousand dollars to condition even an “Ivy League Graduate” to be a functional chemist! This type of arrangement is not new. It has been used more frequently in the crafts industries. The old jokes still will ask, “How many electrician apprentice will it take to replace one electric light bulb?” The serious point here is the hands of the apprentice will in time gain the skills of the journeyman and a new or expanded industry can be born!

A commitment like this will serve to assist in bringing down this unemployment rates and develop new industries for some for profit making industry later. However, the specter of capitalism for profit must not interfere with the initial investments of pubic funds into a suffering economic system.

Afghanistan Troops brought home-GOOD FOR THE NATION'S SPIRIT, BAD FOR THE NATIONS ECONOMY!!

Afghanistan Troops brought home-GOOD FOR THE NATION'S SPIRIT, BAD FOR THE NATIONS ECONOMY!!

(WRITTEN 2011)

(UNEDITED, UNABRIDGED)

          What if 200,000 Afghanistan Troops were brought home?? After a short lived celebration, American would see 200,000 ex-solders unemployed and manufactured war equipment would be pilling up for lack of consumption!! The Military Industrial Complex would fall into depression adding to the already difficult economic problem! America, a nation of human Ideals run on the power of the material consumption needed for “eternal wars” would roll over and stew in its own gravy. What a system!!! (Kirsten Gillibrand, To Push For An 'Aggressive Drawdown Of Combat Troops' From Afghanistan, aterkel@huffingtonpost.com: 05/24/11)

SOLUTION:

"Wall Street” would save the “profitable” war industry by, “packaging and out sourcing” to other nations individual solders or unites to other sovereign nations or private-for-profit military mercenaries organizations. This is capitalist solution to using as a commodity the 200,000 already trained men and produced materials for profit! Further, all presidents hereafter would not have to go to Congress to declare and conduct a war/military action no matter how insane it may be!

Erik Prince, Blackwater Founder, is getting ready to Broker American Military and materials preparing for the end of the Afghanistan war!! (Amy Goodman, Democracy Now! Posted on May 18, 2011) The competition will be mean and hard for the limited “Brokering” licenses that would be issued.



CONCLUSION:



This solution is the “Capitalist way.” They would either build more jails/prisons for those solders turned lawbreakers, looking for a way to make a living, manufacture special corrugated boxes for homes for the homeless down and out vets., or the just described using them as a commodity for sale! The better solution that of a good “Statesman” would be to redirect these military funds to develop better infrastructure and new industry that would grow into a profitable business someday! (i. e. TVA. Auto, industry recovery, new renewable energy. Etc.)
