Waters complained today that the first half-African American President hasn't really shown the love to the black side of his DNA.
“There are roughly 3 million African Americans out of work today, a number nearly equal to the entire population of Iowa. I would suggest that if the entire population of Iowa, a key state on the electoral map and a place that served as a stop on the president’s jobs bus tour were unemployed, they would be mentioned in the president’s speech and be the beneficiary of targeted public policy,” Waters said in a statement to POLITICO on Thursday.According to the labor department, unemployment in the African American community is much higher than the 9.1% average (16.7 percent). Heck in my house the adult unemployment rate is 66.7%. Its not that she wants to target African Americans instead of adults who live in my house. Its not even that she wants the jobs effort to target people of her race ignoring the almost two-thirds of the people in her own district. Where liberal racists like Maxine Waters go wrong is that a jobs plan shouldn't target any people. It should target the businesses that create jobs. The way you get people back to work is not come up with stimulus jobs, or a Roosevelt-type CCC for urban areas. Programs like that didn't work for Roosevelt, they didn't work for Obama in 2009 and they won't work today.
“So, one question to be answered this evening is, are the unemployed in the African-American community, including almost 45 percent of its youth, as important as the people of Iowa?” Waters asked.
The only way that Waters will get what she wants, lower unemployment in the African-American community is to cut regulations, cut corporate taxes and take away the uncertainly most business are facing today. Only then will company's begin to hire in a big way, and jobs will flow back into the US from other countries.
Sadly that is not the objective of Ms Waters, she just wants to hurt the country and African Americans by burdening them with more debt that will never be offset by a greater number of taxpayers in good jobs, paying taxes.That is the best way to create revenue and to bring America off the progressive-caused abyss.

I'm in my mid 60s. I grew up in small town America. The bridges over our local "crick" were built by the WPA. The library I learned the wonder of books was built by the WPA. These bridges still stand, the library is now the town museum.
The jobs the WPA provided did not end the great depression. What they did was keep a lot of the young men of the depression fed and healthy enough to go into uniform during WW2. They also taught men some of the skills needed to build The Arsenal of Democracy that won WW2. Without the Studebaker trucks and other important supplies, Russia would have fallen.
I do not say that a 21st Century WPA would end the recession. I will say that it would take a whole slew of the young men off the streets, feed them, give them some sort of direction in life and, just perhaps, the self confindence of my father's generation. Too bad that they won't do this, instead they will throw more money at failed programs. Actually the programs aren't failures, tons of money are flowing to the Administration's friends. Doesn't help America but it does help the unions and Soros.
