Jobs Markets
If we don’t have people working the
machine slows down. When the machine
slows done tax revenues decrease. This
is known as velocity in economics and
is a very important concept to understand. It is also important to understand the concept of turn-over job markets. As jobs become obsolete by technology and development there must be a progression to create new markets. For example, in the series for the show "Star Trek" there is a futuristic microwave that if you push a button you can have a full course Thanksgiving dinner. If this concept were to become functional the profession of chefs and cooks would become obsolete. I would not pay someone to push a button for me like that, at least they would only get minimum wage. So the people in that job market would ave to go to a new market for work. This part of the work force population would be in transition, and just like a factory would be considered the "Work in Progress".
Taxes
It was recently brought to the table
the suggestion to raise taxes, but let me show the problem with that. Think of taxes and the economy like riding a
mountain bike. When you travel you go up
and down slopes this is just like economic recessions and booms. Sometimes the road is easy like in a boom
when things are going good and sometimes the road is hard just like times of
economic recessions. When you have a
mountain bike you can control that gears you use to traverse these different
situations just like we can control our tax rates. If you didn’t understand how this worked I
could see how you might want the bigger gear to help you go up a big hill or a
higher tax rate help you go through a recession. But this is not the case because you want
momentum or velocity to
increase. Since this is the case or
desired outcome it would be wiser to use a smaller gear or a lower tax rate to
stimulate economic activity and bring in tax revenues.

Social Security Disability – www.CraigDeluz4Assembly.com
This issue has been plotted on by
the very people who count on it the most.
When it was first established it was to provide for the disabled not the
elderly. Then the realization that the
elderly who had not planned for retirement had nothing to fall back on hit, and
so they tried to monopolize on the program.
With the way the government set up the program it was to steal funds
from the very people it was established to help.
Disability for a veteran is a hard
pill to swallow. Vets put their lives on
the line and performed tasks under unreasonable situations for the benefit of
their and other countries out of love.
It is hard enough for veterans to be able to deal with being in the
civilian world as it is, let alone accept that they are not the people they
were before their service.

VA G.I. Bill
This is a great program that follows
the reform addressment that minimizes our disabled problems and capitalizes of
discount taxes receivable by the disabled.
In other words, it solves problems for disability people returning from
service and helps them go on to pay taxes.
When a veteran comes back from
service the programs that help retrain them to adjust to the civilian world not
only help the vet get a job and be able to survive, they readjust their minds
to be able to deal with PTSD from service.

State
State Jobs and the Job Markets
All state matters should be limited
to minimal State needs. The function of
state government is to regulate minimal functionality for state benefit. We could refer to the Maslow Chart of basic
needs if necessary.
Do we have state security? (Military
National Guard) There is a security need to protect our country from foreign
enemies at state level. Of course our
borders have a stronger demand on them then continental land locked
states. We also have to be concerned
with domestic threats, which is why we do have agencies such as SWAT and a Bomb
Squad. National Guard is also imperative
to protect the people in events such as Natural Disasters (Hurricane Katrina,
Fires, Floods, Tornados, Etc.)
Do we have water taken care of? The farmers in California have the most God
blessed land in the world. Now we can
talk about inherent responsibilities. It
is a serious problem that we have to say that salmon season had to end so soon
because of low water levels. The bible
says water is a blessing from God.
Obviously we are doing something wrong to not be being blessed as a
Nation not just a state. Maybe the fact
that we have a baby murdering president
in office to represent us a nation is killing us economically, spiritually, and
now even agriculturally. You can go 30
days with no food and you will not die, but try 3 days with no water. Sure our body produces water on its own but
not enough to sustain us. We are going
to be in trouble if we don’t do something about all the problems we are
creating for ourselves.
Food, is there enough food being
produced? There has to be an equilibrium
level or happy medium found to balance between the water for the wild life that
is needed to preserve our eco-systems and the water needed to produce food for
our farms. Since we are in a water
budget it would be a good time to heal the land. We will have to grow what we can, and then
can what we have. A live smarter than we
have in the past. The problem is always
the same since the beginning of the corporate entity. “Corporate farming vs. Farmers” In the bible
it talks about how you should grow your crops and it is important to see how we
have strayed from that. I believe that
it says the crops are grown in 5 year rotations. We are given four years to grow and harvest
and one to let the earth heal itself, a time to fertilize the ground and
prepare for upcoming seasons. Corporate
involvement has some good places in it. Communication
between farmers in the department of agriculture establishes that everyone does
not run out and start growing only peaches.
The equilibrium balance establishes a good price between what we are
willing to pay and what a farmer must charge to keep growing. Farming subsidies are very important because
without them the farms don’t stay in business and everyone has to eat. Commonality of interest in a community to eat
is a given. Corporate interest has
strayed us from the timeline of letting the earth rest. The Lord said “If there was anything else I
would have told you”, so in our pride of thinking we know better we actually
have been hurting ourselves. This short
sighted thinking is going to kill us like our budget. ? We
did it with credit cards and had the credit crisis. We did it with Real Estate and are still in a
huge Mortgage Crisis. We did it with our
budget and back when Ronald Reagan was Governor of California he put up
billboards asking “If not now, When?”
When will we see a big picture?

Welfare- Welfare is a horrible trap if one chose to try to make it
a lifestyle; this is a bi-partisan supported ideal. This has been discouraged with limits for
collecting benefits and requirements for entry to the workforce or attending
educational programs. This is a great
thing! People should not try to make
being a welfare mamma their final destination point but a situation they
arrived at and an obstacle they overcame.
