    Her platform includes:

    1.  Abolishment of ICE

    2. Universal healthcare

    3. Guaranteed federal jobs

    The first two the democrats have trotted out many times over the years, but the guarantee of a federal job is a lot bolder than we are accustomed to.  What exactly are they going to make taxpayers fund an unskilled laborer to do for a living wage and great benefits?  Are these jobs that have been understaffed or are they going to make them up as they go?    

    Gee whiz, I wonder what would happen to a local market if you introduce a union/competitor with full regulatory power and obligations to fulfill?  You don't even need to have bad intentions to create a massive disaster.  You may actually create more unemployed people.

    Here is a quote from the brains of this ridiculous idea:

    "This is not just about the number of jobs, but also the quality of jobs," Darity said. "We effectively place a floor on the quality of compensation that's provided not only by the public sector, but by the private sector. One of the intentional goals of the federal jobs guarantee is to eliminate bad jobs."

    Now if Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos wants to say that sort of thing more power to them, it's their money and they're actually great at what they do.  Coming from this guy is outrageous.  You're staring down the barrel of socialism right now.  Bernie, Booker, and other potential presidential candidates have been working on legislation with this guy.

    It's amazing that liberals can make valid points about Trump's tariffs, but will justify voting for this $h!t.

  • It is almost surprising that conservatives do as well as we do considering we are up against a system with the cards stacked against us. Kids get indoctrinated in public schools with liberal ideology and then when they go to college they get indoctrinated even more with liberalism on steroids. The same with the liberal MSM, the entertainment industry and Hollywood and the messages they send. It is a constant bombardment yet conservatives are still holding their own in this environment. 

  • and they are taught to believe in not believing in anything about reality, and they are taught to

    embrace perversion, violence, and hate-globalism.

  • Dear Santa................er.............Uncle Sam,

         I want that Ruger 22LR semi-auto Hunter with the form fit wooden grips and ammo for life (should not cost you much since I'm on the downhill slope). In exchange I will throw  in two grandchildren to the new training program. For a decent scope I'll throw in the remaining one and one of Cal's if you also bring him that H&K 9mm.  ?

    Sincerely,

    TexAg & Cal

    That's a pretty delusional view, IMO. 

    What college largely is and what others on here think it is, big difference. Not every school is a LAC

  • I don't think it is delusional. I saw it myself in college and I read about today all the time. Maybe a liberal might not see the liberal bias but if you are a conservative you see it.

    Well you can blame that on such things as #Professor'sWithBikeLocks, Evergreen takeover, and many similar liberal outrage instances.  On a day to day operational standard, I agree with you.  But universities normally take a very limp wristed approach with violent liberal orgs associated with the school.  That does present an image.

  • i love how so many of u hear/read about something that happened at a smoking liberal arts college, like berkley for ex, and then extrapolate that over the entire spectrum of universities. u guys are clowns for that. i encountered only one obvious liberal professor in my time at akron u and my buddy who got his biz degree at osu said he also only knew of one or two libs the rest were hard core conservatives. one of my long time best friends got her phd in biochem from harvard, she is a liberal but said she encountered not a single outwardly liberal professor throughout her 6 or 7 years there. 

    now ofc if u go get like ur dance degree or underwater basket weaving....sure, you'll find some liberals. point is kids arent getting i doctrinated like some of u think. if anything i was subjected to gross far right ideaology from 2 professors

    Well because your buddy and best friend say so, well that settles it.  Case closed.

    Any thoughts on guaranteed federal jobs?
