0bie’s entire Baltimore speech reeked completely of (the usual) Marxist drivel.
Crisis, unfairly, funding....
I do tend to agree with the notion that we need to change our drug laws. Freddie Gray was a made a felon, and rendered unemployable, for dealing drugs and he wasn’t incarcerated. The law didn’t deter him from the crime and he wasn’t punished, so why make him a permanent burden to the state?
Never happen, as that poverty would flood upward to all those "helping" the poor.
This is a weak echo of what Thomas Sowell said a while back - something along the line that if poverty was ever erased in America, hundreds of Liberal organizations and thousands of their employees would be out of work.
“Poverty would be greatly decreased and the plight of the ghettos and barrios greatly improved if 70% of these destructive government programs would be abolished.”
I totally agree, I have said for years that one main thing wrong with how we compute unemployment is that new government jobs are counted as being the same thing as new private industry jobs. I think government jobs should, at the least, NOT BE COUNTED and in fact I think one new government job should be counted as TWO private jobs LOST. The way things are computed now if everyone looking for a job got hired on to a plush position as a tax collector the unemployment problem would be gone with an unemployment rate of zero. Is there anyone, even an idiot liberal, who thinks that makes sense?
