“Obama’s going to create the National Recovery Administration (NRA) to coordinate his new agencies, the CCC, CWA, and WPA, along with the PWA and NYA”

Which will be staffed with ONLY Blacks and Hispanics.

“Mr. Baker surmises that “alot of workers would take that in a second...” “

Except him.

When employers have to reduce their workforce they tend to lay off the least productive employees. This scheme will result in those employees staying and still being the least productive. Efficiency will not improve and the company will be working on a slimmer margin and will have to reduce total hours worked even more if not go out of business. It is a scheme for accelerating economic decline.

“"...we're talking about a situation where workers would work somewhat fewer hours, and make somewhat less money…” As an alternative to being laid-off altogether, Mr. Baker surmises that “alot of workers would take that in a second..."

The guy who would then be working 20 hours per week instead of 0 would like it.

The guy who would be working 20 hours per week instead of 40 would hate it.

I’m surpirsed that they have not suggested that those who are employed, take some sort of pay cut and hours reduction and share their jobs with those who are unemployed or under employed.

You... Mr. Engineer...you’re making $90K/year....you’re making too much $$$ so stop working 50-60 hours per week, and move back to 20 hours and take a 50% pay cut and we’re going to have you share your office and desk with this deserving (but unqualified) minority. He does next to nothing, and you now work 80 hours (because you’re an exempt) to fix what little he does do, to keep your own job because there’s no place else to go.

That’s what I expect from Obunghole’s jobs program.

Which was clearly the goal of The Won even before he was elected.

I wonder, but seriously doubt, if a few simple primers on business that I saw as a child might give them a clue to understand? No, because they are communists, not capitalists.

I looked and looked for an old cartoon about a shoe maker and how he became an industrialist with a factory but didn’t find it. Anybody remember it and know where it can be found?
