Bad jobs report- letting young people rot

  " December Jobs Growth Falls Far Short of Expectations ",  reads  the  January 10 news headline.  The federal government should not let so many jobless workers rot-based on the bizarre principle that if they are not immediately useful to the capitalist class, they are useless in some absolute sense. All the economic wisdom painfully learned in the decade of the Great Depression has been all but forgotten in this present decade of the Great Recession.

        For centuries humanity struggled to exist,  literally worked its way out of a bestial existence- without the blessing of the " free market ". When did the common people of America ever vote for this capitalist insanity and inhumanity ?

         Bring back some New Deal common sense. There is enough real work out there for every healthy human being.   President Obama has a lot more to learn from FDR than from  Ronald Reagan -with his voodoo economics and White House astrologer.
