PLAN: THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD ESTABLISH A PUBLIC SERVICE EMPLOYMENT-ASSURED JOBS PROGRAM.

CONTENTION ONE: RETHINKING ORTHODOX ECONOMICS THE ECONOMY WILL NOT RECOVER WITHOUT A TRICKLE-UP POLICY-UNEMPLOYMENT, TAX APPEALS, AND FORECLOSURES. Wray ‘9 ( Randall–Senior Scholar and professor of economics and director of the Center for Full Employment and Price Stability at the University of Missouri Economic Perspectives from Kansas City, “The Carnage Continues: Time to Ramp Up the Stimulus” July 7, 2009, http://neweconomicperspectives.blogspot.com/2009/07/carnage-continues-time-to-ramp-up.html)

Some like to see …helped those most in need.

CURRENT STATE BUDGETS AND UNEMPLOYMENT PRECLUDE RECOVERY- BUDGET CUTS AND TAX INCREASES PROMOTE CYCLICAL POLICIES THAT DECIMATE ANY POSSIBILITIES FOR GROWTH. Lav and McNichol 9-3-2009 (Deputy Director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Senior Fellow with the State Fiscal Project of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, (Iris and Elizabeth, “New Fiscal Year Brings No Relief From Unprecedented State Budget Problems,” http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=711)

The unprecedented state fiscal …gross domestic product.

"What the state did …. states themselves."

A FEDERALLY FUNDED PUBLIC SERVICE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM WILL CREATE COUNTER-CYCLICAL BUDGET SWINGS TO END RECESSIONS OVERCOMING THE STATES INABILITY TO DEFICIT SPEND. Wray ‘2K (L. Randall, Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, a Senior Research Associate at the Center for Full Employment and Price Stability, as well as a visiting Senior Scholar at the Jerome Levy Economics Institute of Bard College; “The Perfect Fiscal Storm,” Policy Note No. 02/05, http://www.cfeps.org/pubs/pn/pn0205.html)

What about policy recommendations? ….like the Andrea Gail.

PLAN: THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD EXPAND THE CLEAN ENERGY SERVICE CORPS INTO A PUBLIC SERVICE EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM.

CONTENTION ONE: THE AMERICAN APARTHEID

THE CURRENT BEHAVIORALIST PARADIGM HAS NOW CHARACTERIZED THOSE IN POVERTY AS LAZY, IMMORAL AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAVAGE CONDITIONS IN WHICH THEY LIVE. A REJECTION OF THIS PARADIGM BY AFFIRMING RIGHT TO FULL EMPLOYMENT IS CRITICAL TO PREVENT THE POLITICS OF DISPOSABILITY AND RACIAL GENOCIDE.

Forstater ‘2K (Mathew Associate Professor of Economics and Black Studies and Director, Center for Full Employment and Price Stability, Department of Economics, University of Missouri —Kansas City; “The Full Employment Approach to Reducing Black Poverty and Unemployment in the United States,” Working Paper No. 7, March, http://www.cfeps.org/pubs/wp/wp7.html)

The racially coded ……Black poverty for the "culturalogical" paradigm

THE DISTURBING TRUTH IS THAT AMERICAN SOCIETY HAS MADE THE MASS EXTERMINATION OF THE “UNDERCLASS” ALL TOO POSSIBLE. A LASER LIKE FOCUS ON JOBS FOR THE INNER CITY POOR IS NECESSARY FREE THOSE IMPRISONED BY STRUCTURAL LABELING MECHANISMS THAT STOP THEM FROM FORGING THEIR OWN IDENTITIES.

Forstater ‘2K (Mathew Associate Professor of Economics and Black Studies and Director, Center for Full Employment and Price Stability, Department of Economics, University of Missouri —Kansas City; “The Full Employment Approach to Reducing Black Poverty and Unemployment in the United States,” Working Paper No. 7, March, http://www.cfeps.org/pubs/wp/wp7.html)

As Darity, et al. (1994, 60-61) pose it: "…, quoted in Fine and Weiss, p. 259)

THE STRUGGLE AGAINST RACISM MUST BE ONE WITHOUT CONCESSION.

Memmi ’97 (Albert; Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Paris; “Racism” pg. 163 DRGCL/B1048 1997

The struggle ……racist challenge

CONTENTION TWO: RETHINKING ORTHODOX ECONOMICS

THE U.S. MAY BE CRAWLING OUT OF THE RECESSION BUT THE EFFECTS ARE HERE TO STAY AND PERCEPTION OF RECOVERY IS ONLY AS GOOD AS THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WORKING.

Wall Street Journal 8/18/2009 (Sudeep Reddy; economics reporter Brown University, Wall Street Journal “The Economic Recovery: Fast, Slow or Neither?”)< http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125055148430738445.html>

The U.S. … year ahead.

THE NATIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS STILL SOARING

Bloomberg 8/21/2009 (Global news source “Unemployment Rates Rose in 26 U.S. States in July (Update2)” < http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aUjHZ_FeLe64>

Aug. 21 (Bloomberg) ….. December 2007.

FAILURE TO ADDRESS UNEMPLOYMENT RATES MAKES ANOTHER RECESSION INEVITABLE.

McIntyre ‘9 (Douglas A; magna cum laude graduate of Harvard. partner at 24/7 Wall St. previously been the Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Financial World Magazine and has been CEO of FutureSource, LLC and On2 Technologies, Inc. “With Unemployment Moving To 9.6%, Economic Impact Of Jobs Is Just Beginning” <http://247wallst.com/2009/06/29/with-unemployment-moving-to-9-6-economic-impact-of-jobs-is-just-beginning/>

Unemployment is called a “lagging” indicator ….three and a half million jobs.

THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS A PERMANENT SPENDING BALLOON CREATED BY PERMANENT ENERGY JOBS – THIS AVERTS A SECOND RECESSION

Wray ‘9 (L. Randall, Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, a Senior Research Associate at the Center for Full Employment and Price Stability, as well as a visiting Senior Scholar at the Jerome Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, “THE RETURN OF BIG GOVERNMENT,” Public Policy Brief No. 99, March, http://www.levy.org/pubs/ppb_99.pdf)

DEFICIT SPENDING THROUGH MAINTENANCE OF FULL EMPLOYMENT FORCES A CONTINUOUS DEFICIT IN THE FEDERAL RESERVE – THIS RAISES INTEREST RATES AND ENGENDER CYCLICAL FACTORS THAT END RECESSIONS

According to this view, … environment suggests otherwise.

STATE SPENDING MAGNIFIES RECESSIONS. THE REQUIREMENT FOR BALANCED BUDGETS MEANS THE STATES CAN’T DEFICIT SPEND – TANKS PRIVATE INVESTMENT AND THE NATIONAL ECONOMY.

Wray ‘2K (L. Randall, Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, a Senior Research Associate at the Center for Full Employment and Price Stability, as well as a visiting Senior Scholar at the Jerome Levy Economics Institute of Bard College; “The Perfect Fiscal Storm,” Policy Note No. 02/05, http://www.cfeps.org/pubs/pn/pn0205.html)

What about policy …we won’t sink like the Andrea Gail.

FULL EMPLOYMENT STABILIZES CONSUMER PURCHASING POWER AND DEMAND, PREVENTING DEPRESSION AS LONG AS FEDERAL INTEREST RATES ARE HIGH

Vickrey ‘2K (William, Nobel Memorial Prize Winner in Economics (1996) and Professor of Economics at Columbia University; “We Need a Bigger "Deficit"” Working Paper No. 2, January, http://www.cfeps.org/pubs/wp/wp2.html)

Recently, researchers had a chance to …his week's Greencast.)

THE CLEAN ENERGY SERVICE CORPS WAS ESTABLISHED IN APRIL YET IT HAS HAS A MASSIVE SHORTAGE OF AVAILABLE JOBS
