I just listened to Democracy Now! tonight with Daniel Ellsberg debating the NSA lawyer on Edward Snowden. As the the show ended, my first thought was of you, Bernie, so wishing you were on the air to take apart everything that was said. There are so many issues that I wish you would discuss with us. So many. I do hope you are going to be back on the air somewhere where I can hear you.dyannnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487177479368283877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848491628396529552.post-9726074083397650022014-01-31T12:33:23.168-08:002014-01-31T12:33:23.168-08:00Hey Bernie!

Talk radio is in its last death throes. Goldman (an many others) are bypassing radio by using podcasts and internet streaming.<br /><br />Now, about jobs. I think the step before that should be: publicly financed elections. Get the $$$ out of politics. That's the one corrupting influence that prevents all other helpful govt actions from happening. Publicly financed elections will allow truly decent people to become our political leaders, and they will then do what's right for "wee the people."obi_donkenobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019202392685910731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848491628396529552.post-74247013422474910172014-01-24T21:56:34.496-08:002014-01-24T21:56:34.496-08:00"First, create the 2014 versions of the W.P.A..."First, create the 2014 versions of the W.P.A. (Works Progress Administration) and the C.C.C. (Civilian Conservation Corps). State and federal governments should announce a hiring call. Anyone who wants a job will be hired. . Pay them a living wage."<br /><br />If you paid them the 2012 equivalent of the $41.57 a month they got in 1938, then their wages per month in 2012-14 would be $669 per month.<br /><br />For a 40 hour week times 4.3 weeks per month (ave.), that would be equal to paying them $3.89 per hour.<br />However we should remember that the WPA members got tents or barracks to live in and also meals most of the time.<br /><br />So what is your idea of a "living wage"... <br />I'm guessing your new modern WPA program is going to be paying them 3 times or more what they got back then (after adjusting for inflation)<br /><br />Or is $3.89 per hour plus room and board OK with your new WPA program?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848491628396529552.post-19008451841872224402014-01-16T09:47:34.180-08:002014-01-16T09:47:34.180-08:00That last paragraph should read "scare the he...That last paragraph should read "scare the hell out of....". :)Bettinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848491628396529552.post-88721034062697170592014-01-15T15:00:23.218-08:002014-01-15T15:00:23.218-08:00You got it Bernie!

People generally like to work, especially if it's something that gives them satisfaction and dignity. If all of our teenagers could be offered training and jobs early on many of our social problems would be diminished.<br />Can't wait until you get released this year, when we can hear more of your cogent comments!
