Buenos Manana! Yet another liberal offering up a true socialist style plan
(CNSNews.com) – Announcing new legislation aimed at boosting the "green economy," Rep. Hilda Solis (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that environmentally friendly sectors should focus on employing America’s poor.
Solis will introduce the Pathways Out of Poverty Act of 2007 later this week, with the goal of creating "a sustainable, public program providing quality workforce training linked to good jobs that are created by federal renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives."
When I first read the quick blurb for the story at CNS News, my first thought was "that’s incredible, a liberal actually proposing that poor folks do some work instead of staying on welfare." (I am not implying that all those on welfare are lazy bums, because they aren’t. But some are, and liberal programs make them so) Maybe we could have all these poor folks, who get gov’t money for nothing, do lots of those "jobs that Americans just won’t do." But then I read on, and realized that Hilda was on to something much, much different, which looks like the reinstitution of the New Deal, ie, employing people through government mandated work programs.
"We can actually grow the economy and respect the environment at the same time," said Van Jones, president of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights (a youth violence-prevention group) and a supporter of the legislation. Jones addressed the liberal Take Back America conference in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
"Right now, all of the job training that we have in the country — the community colleges, the labor unions — they were all designed in the last century," he said. "They’re actually training people in the pollution-based economy, the poison-based economy."
In other words, they teach people marketable skills, and still provide a modicum of free thought. And what lefties think of as poison is CO2, a necessary gas for life. With all their insane Man causes global warming claptrap, they ignore actual pollution.
"Urban youth, too often fodder for prisons, could instead be trained to create zero pollution products, heal the land and harvest the sun," said Jones. "Urban America can be put back to work, rebuilding our cities for the clean energy future."
You would first have to show those urban youths that there is more to life then sitting in the ‘hood, chilling out, getting involved in crime, as 40 years of "The War On Poverty" have taught them to do. A liberal project, by the way. Why work when you can sit around, just like Ma (no Pa, because liberals have trained the poor that Dad is not necessary to have around, and Dad is trained to impregnate then leave), and watch your trash shows, rather then go out and make something out of yourself with a responsible, respectable job?
