Jackson called for full government employment of the 15 million unemployed and said that Obama should “declare a national emergency” and take “extra-constitutional” action “administratively” — without the approval of Congress — to tackle unemployment.
“I hope the president continues to exercise extraordinary constitutional means, based on the history of Congresses that have been in rebellion in the past,” Jackson said. “He’s looking administratively for ways to advance the causes of the American people, because this Congress is completely dysfunctional.” …
“On several occasions now, we’ve seen … the Congress is in rebellion, determined, as Abraham Lincoln said, to wreck or ruin at all costs. I believe … in the direct hiring of 15 million unemployed Americans at $40,000 a head, some more than $40,000, some less than $40,000 — that’s a $600 billion stimulus. It could be a five-year program. For another $104 billion, we bailout all of the states … for another $100 billion, we bailout all of the cities,” he said.
Jackson added that his $804 billion stimulus plan is the only way to solve the unemployment crisis. “I support the jobs plan. I support the president’s re-election. I support Barack Obama,” he said. “But at this hour, we need a plan that meets the size and scope of the problem to put the American people to work.”

What a fucking idiot. I don't even get 40,000 I would quit my job to get 40,000 a year (actually I would quit my job and move to another country where the money is worth something).

I can think of another way to solve the unemployment crisis, Jesse. Re-define the word. War is Peace; Fiat is Real; Truth is Treason; Enslavement is Freedom; Tyranny is Liberty; Indoctrination is Education; Unemployment is Employment.

Jesse, you should have taken heed the warnings of Brother Malcolm, but you've never been too bright. :)

Not helping Jesse. Not helping at all!

This is a good idea. In fact, we should just shut down private businesses entirely since they're all crooks anyway. Then the government could hire everybody and there'd never be unemployment again! And since government is the one who prints the money, they'd never run out, so no matter how many new immigrants there are, we'd always have jobs for them! Think of all the money that would be generated if each person made $40,000 a year!

When I see something like that come out of the mouths of elected leaders, I cannot help but think that we are not far from ignorant people acting out violently and seizing what they were told they are entitled to. There is no easier way to sway people's beliefs than to play on their unconscious fears, emotions and desires devoid of logic or reason.

Especially when people elect these individuals.

I doubt if the people who lived through the "Gulf of Tonkin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HODxnUrFX6k)" agrees.

Maybe we can all get jobs at the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, since they're going to need some extra manpower to pay for a stunt like this.

That's a fact, Jack. If everybody was busy printing money, then everybody would be like, "Don't Worry... Be Happy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-diB65scQU&ob=av3n)."
