BloggeRhythms 9/5/2010

TNBNT, but yesterday's entry got me thinking about re-deploying funds to help the economy. Because it seems to me that it's pretty clear that no one in the private sector with any money at all is going to risk investing or expansion until the current administration and Congress are gone for good.

What my arithmetic demonstrated was that by eliminating the 165,413 folks involved in government, it's support or related occupations, amounting to .00055138 of the population, some 28,800,000 unemployed, or 9.6%, in the general public would likely have a chance of getting hired almost overnight.

Well, it dawned on me this morning that my idea sounds a lot like Socialism or Communism, where wealth and assets are seized by those in power and redistributed across the population rather than earned. And, that certainly wasn't my point. All I was trying to do was, come up with a way to remove those from the economic system who get paid but either don't work or are incapable of doing anything worthwhile. And, the most obvious folks in that category are anyone involved in politics or its support, most especially the ones holding office.

But, taking my idea a step further today, I was thinking about where else there was a category of folks who were worthless, yet bringing in considerable incomes (notice I didn't say "working".) And right there, staring me in the face was a humongous source of money if redirected in a positive way. Because, according to localschooldirectory.com there are currently 4,685,708 individuals in the public school system.

There are 873,477 Administrators nationwide, 3,609,955 Instructional Staff, and 202,276 Non-instructional personnel, all told. And, not only are these folks draining money out of the public's pockets every day, for doing absolutely nothing, they continually seek higher wages. Beyond that, when they retire from doing nothing to doing even less, they keep getting paid handsomely, no matter.

So, now it seems, my funds re-deployment idea might be getting somewhere because by eliminating 4,851,127 (4,685,708 in schools, 165,413 governmental) people who are drains on the economy and worthless, 28,800,000 who are looking for work would now have a much better chance, because businesses would hire, banks would lend and the country's economy would start churning again.

And, as far as the 4,851,127 are concerned, I guess they'd have to start really yelling and screaming about their terminations to get some attention, because if they don't, no one will notice they're gone.

That's it for today folks

Adios
