Federal Job Guarantee and Cancellation of All Student Debt

Improve lives, the country, 
communities and the economy! 

Professors of economics at Levy Institute have an EXCELLENT Job Guarantee proposal that would provide a living wage plus benefits, shorter hours, part time could be chosen, and work would include all the socially useful things that a community decides it would like. Things like: caregiving, senior assistance, help for shut-ins and new mothers, community gardening, creating and sharing arts and music, and so on. Our elected officials have neglected such services and support for DECADES because they have been doing only what the people intent on ‘for profit’ systems tell them to do.

This excellent federal Job Guarantee has aspects of Basic Income but is far superior. It gives ‘we the people’ the power and control over our lives and communities. Meanwhile, our establishment (corporate-owned) politicians have been putting out INFERIOR proposals that would keep us desperate and willing to work for the low wages we have had for far too long (since the 70s, when the powerful ramped up their attack on ‘people power’ and union power).


The professors also advocate for cancellation of ALL student debt, and have a paper detailing that, as well as many papers on their Job Guarantee. Their papers are available at Levy Institute online for people to read, and there are numerous presentations, interviews and blogs by many of the professors online. Youtube carries many interviews and presentations that have been filmed and made available to the public. The professors also have an excellent ‘Deficit Owls’ Youtube channel (as well as being on Twitter and Facebook) with information they want the public to know about how we have been misled about our federal money. *

*For instance, probably the biggest myth that our politicians keep pushing is that taxes fund federal spending, when the truth is that the federal government can issue ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY for anything that is physically possible, so we simply need to PLAN for the things we would like and ensure there is enough labor, goods, machinery, etc!)
