How do you do that? Create jobs for thugs who have been entitled all their lives, are uneducated, undisciplined, unmotivated, and literally unable to do anything useful?
Has there been a new Federal position of "Job Czar Fairy" that I somehow missed?
Incidentally no federal regime can "create jobs" (the depression exception was possible only because people actually could, and were able and willing, to work.)
That magic no longer exists.
This, unfortunately, is the real issue -- and the elephant in the room, as I have often thought.
We (also Europe) have produced a large underclass of people nobody really knows what to do with. Be it low intelligence, mental illness, or cultural pathology, they seem to be a lost cause.
Racism alone can't be blamed. Nor "bad luck." Many suffer setbacks -- loss of job, medical problem, etc. -- but seem to get help, find resources, religious & spiritual support. Not all acquire or recover wealth, but they somehow can lead or resume responsible lives.
These people can't. They just lack the inner tools. How many are really employable? How many are really redeemable? There will always be some, maybe, who either find the right help or pull themselves up by the bootstraps. But they're tragically a different kind of "1%."
