Work vs. Jobs
The "Red, White & Blue Papers" Scott Keller in a Series, on The Issues
This paper discusses Work vs. Jobs
The emphasis on "jobs" has been all wrong for many decades. It's been about chasing the dollar bill, "earning" a paycheck to pay bills for things that could and should be free anyway. Creating jobs or rather work is not a Federal mandate or a Federal task unless there's a federal goal to achieve, such as reaching out into space or mobilizing to recover from a national disaster. But we can have someone in the Federal government, such as the President, with a duty of sharing solutions with the nation and helping localities share ideas with each other.
If we would shift our focus and our paradigm to what needs to be accomplished rather than spinning wheels to generate a profit, and if we take basic needs off of the table of things that people need to struggle to fulfill, then we'd find that suddenly we have more than enough work to do and the human suffering will drop down to near zero.
We don't need or want big government programs and we don't need or want "big business" to come pretend it's going to save the day. We only need to shift the paradigm and start doing what's necessary LOCALLY.
- We have road systems & transportation systems to build or overhaul or design from scratch.
- We have an education system that needs to be overhauled and redesigned.
- We have a space travel, exploration, colonization program to expand upon, redesign, and implement.
- We have a new system of energy production that needs to be designed and implemented.
- We have scientific research that needs to be done.
- We have diseases and other health problems that need to be resolved.
- We have houses, apartment buildings, hospitals, recreation centers, learning centers, and more that need to be built.
- We have electric and solar cars that need to be designed and built, along with a grid to keep them fueled.
- We have clothing that needs to be made.
- We have pollution of many kinds that needs to be cleaned up.
- We have food that needs to be grown and distributed.
- The list goes on and nowhere on this list is "profit".
So, how can we get America "working" (versus creating jobs) again? Simple:
1. Think local. Many options exist locally that could solve unemployment in a month or two.
2. Think purpose. Let's create work, not jobs. Let's have purpose to everything we do, not chase money. When we create work, jobs follow.
3. Think freedom. A TRULY free market, where non-profits and alternative model businesses such as purposeful local co-ops can compete with the money chasers head-to-head and win.
4. Think future. An extention of think purpose, let's work to rise to our fullest potential rather than just exist.
Immediately, we will pull together all mayors, city councils, governors, and community activists collectively for a high level overview, and then State by State, city by city, community by community, present a number of existing options and together brainstorm a customized method for each community to begin necessary projects to get people working, get them fed, get them in to homes, get them health care and education, and cover any other needs they may have.
Mayors, community leaders, community members, wherever you live...reach out to us and we'll share with you and help you implement customized solutions to your issues. Tell us your situation and your contact information so we can help you now rather than wait for the election.
Once we've begun the process outlined above, we can 1) start making a shift from worldwide military involvement as our largest source of employment and Federal spending, to being our best here at home through innovative education, health care, and scientific efforts, among others ideas, and at the same time, 2) we can be initiating a national movement to establish a sovereign national money supply and break the dependence our system currently has on foreign banks via the Federal Reserve. The Constitution calls for us to print our own money, not borrow it. We don't have to wait even a moment to start making the switch back to the Constitutional mandate, and once we do, we'll quickly see many issues automatically getting solved.
If the American people follow this plan and get involved in its implementation and even in its betterment, then we'll find we will get almost immediate positive results, mostly by the creation of new jobs via work project as we focus on our own country's problems and pull back our interference in other nations' business. The idea that America is the world's savior is long over, and it's time that Americans save America from the downward spiral of bad political decisions over the past few decades that have led us astray from our Constitution and our Founding Fathers' fundamental beliefs and show the world just what we're capable of accomplishing, once again.
If we take this new focus or perspective, then suddenly automation becomes humanity's friend rather than foe. We won't be worried about a machine taking someone's "job" because this would free the person whose "job" was taken to move on to more fulfilling work.
People's debts can be handled quickly and easily if it's agreed upon to use a new approach to doing so. They can be handled at the local level or they can be handled with a one-time shot at the Federal level without any taxation whatsoever.
I believe the answers to our work issues rest mainly in local possibilities. Of course, we have to get our monetary sovereignty back first, but our unemployment situation can be resolved long before this occurs.
Every person living in America, every one of them, could be working within 6 months from now, not having to wait for some miracle to happen following a changing of the politicians in DC in January of 2013
Our housing situation, as well, can be handled this way, including our local travel expenses as well. Many of our issues can be resolved very quickly, through cooperation and innovation on a local level.
Work should feel like playtime if you're doing what you were meant and always wanted to do. You should look forward to doing it and almost dread not doing it. If you're just wasting your time to earn a paycheck, then you're not doing what you were meant or want to do.
Political speeches full of promises don't solve problems. We in the Keller 2012 Presidential team are offering to step in and help people solve the country's problems immediately, long before any election ever comes to pass.
