here's mark's cages at full roar

mark's
new new deal wish list

"We need to provide health and dental insurance
that doesn't end
when a worker changes or is between jobs."

and dental ????
no way dental

"We should recognize
that it is normal
for both parents to work
outside the home.
Child care
that is affordable, reliable,
and that helps children
to get off to the best possible start
needs to be available to all parents.
For many parents, this is a big problem. "

amen bro

"We are much more geographically mobile
than we were in the 1930s.
If we expect a flexible workforce,
we need to do more to support
geographic movement of workers and their families."

jobster rooks on wheels
if home is where the heart is
mobilize and motorize it

"I would redefine poverty
as a relative rather than an absolute standard
and ensure that everyone
has what they need
to fully participate in society"

nope i say job max pay max hour minflex
plus any ole time jobvac time bank loans
is
the only better deal able heads and bodies ...deserve ie
comes to income
burger work wage rights rule

" And if my powers do not extend that far,
I would at least raise
- substantially - the absolute poverty threshold
and then make sure nobody falls below it.
Right now, it's too low.
Along these lines,
an expansion of the EITC is needed as well."

agree with above proviso on types of remediations
the only welfare plan is a job
its the only solidarity inducing
welfare floor
that works
long term
because it involves work
job work sweat on every brow
from work or fever

"The existence of large speculative bubbles
- first in the stock market
then in the housing market -
threatens to undermine
the stability of the economy
and put an end to "The Great Moderation." "

now comes mark's area of speciality in profession
fight product market inflation
not only with monetary policy
but mark's way
is fight fairly meaning
as safely as possible
for trans nat viability
and profit opportunity
ie
without curbing
the corpporations'unlimited
price setting license
bs mark
you be
an unconcious
capitalist toady

"We need to reexamine
the regulatory structure
of the financial sector
to be sure we are doing
all we can
to prevent destabilizing bubbles
from emerging."

indeed we do
see mark as a product price jump fighter
didn't care about run away asset prices
until he noticed ...
but ...

"If the consequences were confined
to participants in these markets
this wouldn't be necessary,
but they are not.
Problems in financial markets
spread through the economy
more generally
and impose costs on people
who had nothing to do
with the creation of the problem."

collateral damage control

he adds to get us going
"What else?"

i read the freshet of meme neoforimgs
and put up
my two cents nonsense

"I don't think everyone really wants to work, and have someone else raise their children"

"their children"
right of origimal producers
to ownership of off spring
with rights of transfer and rearage till majority

what a dated notion

what a fate for most raw folks
who had no choice
in their birth hole into this world

btw
"their " 0 to 6 year old "children "
are more often far far better off
with a 40 hour per week
dose of outside "raising "

most home cookin ain't up to
pay for it standards

vouchers please !!!!!

as to stay at home ....moms or dads

get a job you bums !!!!

eitc oughta be huge and run up
with a graceful taper as far as 100k per jobbler

and the wage min oughta be set optimallly
and linked
to average value added

as to a living stipend
not so long as one can job hold
then for sure

convert by stages
the ssi payments
from a retirement system
to a life time jobvac stipend system
funded out of a vat tax

future retirement system ???
65 healthy and broke ??
no loans without a death insurance off set
since debtors debts die with em .....

but want to retire ???
go ahead make my day
but buy
a tax credit based
annuity plan .... real early on

healthy old people can job hold too
for christ's sake
and its good for em too
the old parasites

btw
what a cruel senseless
hu-world we tol-erate
now
if i were made benign despot ...
oh ya
that's jesus' job
come .....The Day

i can't wait
can you ???

A truly massive infrastructure program
with community plans worthy of calvin

ya lets put every one in america
by residence zoning
into 1000 model cities each one averaging
9 miles square ie ~ 35k per square mile
think of the ground rent tax on those puppies

winslow

single lender is the nuts

its twin to single payer health
and sinbgle payer pension
i'm for it
so lets
go for it babe

we need to use
the us postal system's
friendly gray facilities
as the ready to rock
bricks and mortarrrr here
build an instant
parallel national depository
and funds transfer system
and use the neighborhood
local loan office
for the few meat to meat transactions

the rest as you imply
is virtual anyway

lets
put the privateering
rent seeking banksmanships under
but by a fair and square competition

they're now just
excess baggage
looking for a cut

useless
artificial agggggglommerations
of limited liability
credit issuing power

all power to the credit soviets
laff
be careful how you toss around

" Mental Block(s) "

----------
" MANDATE elections (not voting) for union participation in all businesses"

lovely lovely lovely idea drewish one

vote on labor day every three years
ie each year one third of all firms
with over 15 hu-heads
and hu-hand pairs on payroll

"holding the future hostage to their worthless debt"

welcome to the world of private capital
"The glaring necessity for America is a more healthy and more talented work-force"

"healthy "
and "talented "
i love it

put in healthy talented jobblers
work 40 for 50 for 45
and if they make it thru the gauntlet
get out
wrecked jobbler hulks
neither talented or still healthy

this laff
shows no sense
beyond bentham and becker

not even the deeper reaches
of the market velt

get thee past
the heckle and jeckle
of supply and demand
---

intervention

by reason

"Paine
35,000 per square mile = 55 people per acre - i.e average block (3 per house) 1/20 acre (c 200 m2).

Dense enough. But 1000 * 9 miles square, 9 miles square is hardly walkable. Why not 9000 * 3 miles square? (9 * 35000 = 315000) with clusters of cities to allow for the satisfaction of niche interests

...
reason its a deal

btw
you --as usual on your georgian home turf---
are quite right

to walk is to live

but as potentate of hu-lag 17
i'll need a sedan chair anyway

...
god i love it

hobby horses on parade

"the Chinese will soon be marching through the streets of Boston (actually their students already are) carrying Chinese bayonets an wanting to steal our lobsters."

lovely

...
You want to finance people sitting at home, watching tv? And, with money from people who actually work?

no icarus
lets tax the zillionaires
to pay for this idleness by design

after all
its their reserve army of the unemployed

an army they deploy
an army
that by its mere existence
and size
thru out the cycle deters
those wageling greed heads
trying to grab
for a bigger piece of the extra vat
their profiteer bosses
just put into the mark up

as to financial combats
meaning
the great wall vs the street wall

M.A.D. finance policy
is the only kind
dear soul

the us dollar
is the global doomsday machine

attack the dollar
and you'll sink yourself and all
market dependant earthlings
right along with it

i notice all these new reg outfits
u folks envision

regulators
either get flat out "appointed "
by the regulated
as with the fed
or at best
down stream captured by the regulated

so go ahead reg em up

but like kong
when they get pissed enough
they will brake
your chrome steel chains any how
or like houdini
sneak in and out of em all along
