Apprenticeships: Useful Alternative, Tough to Implement

instill job skills in the younger generation. The German apprenticeship system is sometimes viewed as an appealing alternative. But substantially increasing apprenticeship opportunities in the United States may not be as easy or inviting as it sounds. The German model depends for its success on strong unions and professional licensing requirements. Applying the German method to the United States would require huge — and, for some, hugely unpopular — changes to the structure of the economy.

Successfully expanding the availability of apprenticeships in the United States will therefore require real thought. Any American-style apprenticeship model will need to deal effectively with the age-old problem of the “runaway apprentice” — the apprentice who leaves his employer after the employer has invested time and energy in training him, but before the apprentice has been useful enough to make the employer’s investment worthwhile.

In centuries past, the problem was dealt with by jailing runaway apprentices. Today, Germany instead denies them union membership or professional licenses. The dominant solution in the United States has been to try to teach job skills at publicly subsidized educational institutions, so students will emerge already valuable to employers, in theory making apprenticeships unnecessary. But this method has not been a smashing success. This paper discusses various ways to encourage apprenticeships — from ensuring that potential apprentices can borrow money to finance apprenticeships in the way they currently borrow for college (thus allowing the employer to avoid having to pay an apprentice more than he is initially worth) to more elaborate public subsidies and changes in the law.

House Republicans Want to Make the Wrong Change to the Corporate Tax

Economic research shows that the corporate tax is harmful to workers' wages and overall economic growth. If left to their own devices, politicians still wouldn't be likely to reduce or eliminate the destructive tax. They only act when tax competition—whereby taxpayers shop around for favorable tax environments—forces their hand.

That's why it is alarming that House Republicans—I repeat, House Republicans—are talking about a change to the corporate tax that would insulate it from competitive pressures going forward. The change in the Ryan-Brady blueprint (as in Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee Kevin Brady) would turn the corporate income tax into a "destination-based cash flow tax" with many similarities to European-style value-added taxes. To be sure, it would also lower the U.S. corporate tax rate—which is currently higher than any other in the developed world—and move to a common-sense territorial system in which income would be taxed only in the country where it was earned. It would also alleviate some of the double taxation of savings and somewhat simplify the tax code, even as it could become a compliance nightmare for companies.

But it would be simpler to just do away with the corporate tax altogether. Many people know that, but Republicans continue to appease those who view all money as belonging first to the government by insisting that tax cuts must be "paid for" according to the Keynesian math of the Congressional Budget Office.

President Trump Carriers the day and all his detractors can only say “pfft.”

The cool clique inevitably reveals itself as the loser league.

In Napoleon Dynamite, this phenomenon plays out during the school-auditorium-dance-routine scene, when cool kid Don delivers a patronizing “pfft,” as his classmates go crazy over the title character’s sweet moves. You see it in Revenge of the Nerds, when the dorks switch places with the jocks on the campus totem pole to the sound of “We Are the Champions.”

Life imitated art, this week, as detractors of The Donald dismissed his deal to keep Carrier, which announced a move to Mexico earlier this year, in Indiana.

“I think it’s all a PR move,” Chuck Jones, president of United Steelworkers Local 1999, maintained last week of negotiations, adding, “I’d be shocked if anything was done.”

But something got done. Not airy promises to usher in “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal,” but concrete action occurred to save actual jobs worked by actual people.

“Companies are not going to leave the United States anymore without consequences,” Trump announced at the air-conditioner plant on Thursday. That’s another way of saying that you can no longer drink from the federal trough, as you piss on the people who fill it. United Technologies, Carrier’s parent company, derives about $6 billion in revenue from the federal government.

The Left Elected Trump...and May Again

The American left elected Donald Trump.  They've been voting for him for decades, and at last they've succeeded.  If the left's post-election behavior is any indication, they intend to keep doing so.

I write metaphorically, of course.  Few leftists actually voted for Trump, but as sure as the sunrise, they elected him.  The fact is hardly debatable, as principled leftists like Noam Chomsky, Joan Williams, and Chris Hedges have said.

Here's one example of the process in action: shortly before Election Day in 2000, polls had Green Party candidate Ralph Nader garnering 5%-9% of the popular vote.  He got 2.7%.  Where did all those votes go?  They went to Democratic nominee Al Gore.  Liberals who said they were voting Green succumbed to the "lesser of two evils" argument.  They didn't like Gore, but they voted for him because, in that year's timeless phrase, "a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush."

Democratic strategists knew they would.  The idea that blacks and liberals can be counted on to vote Democratic, irrespective of the actual candidate, has made up the core of the party's strategy since its takeover by the Democratic Leadership Council in 1985.

Back then, Democrats were taking a beating by the GOP because the party was seen to be too liberal, too soft on crime, and insufficiently bellicose.  So the DLC moved the party to the right on those issues, secure in the belief that liberal (and black) voters had no choice but to vote Democratic.  Bill Clinton's election in 1992 proved the DLC right.  Even as Clinton signed NAFTA and the most draconian crime bill in recent memory, and slashed welfare benefits for the poor, leftists marched zombie-like to the polls, pulled the Democratic lever, and celebrated the resulting "victory."

Steve Bannon’s Big Plans for America

Now that Donald Trump has won the presidential election, the tough part of his job is just beginning: enacting all of his many campaign promises.
In order for Trump to carry out all these mandates, the President-Elect has enlisted the help of many of his hardcore supporters and the inner circle of his campaign. One of the most important people around Trump in the latter stages of the race was his campaign chief Steve Bannon, formerly the executive chairman of Breitbart News.
While Bannon was an investment banker at Goldman Sachs 20 years ago, in more recent times, he’s worked in the environmental sector on the Biosphere project and in Hollywood as a film and television producer.
Bannon is a veteran of the U.S. Navy, which he worked in for seven years in the 1970s and 1980s as both a surface warfare officer and a special assistant to the Pentagon’s Chief of Naval Operations. Bannon holds a Master’s degree from Georgetown University in National Security Studies and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.
As President-Elect Trump’s senior counsel and chief strategist Bannon is charged with formulating many of the cornerstone policies and plans of the Trump administration. It’s a large responsibility, especially considering the precarious state of the nation that successive presidential administrations have left it in. But both Trump and Bannon have big plans to shake things up.
One of the policies that Trump wants Bannon to enact is a “New Deal for Black America.” Speaking at an event at a former Baptist church in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump declared, “I want to talk about how to grow the African-American middle class, and provide… safe communities, great education and high-paying jobs.”
Trump reiterated his opposition to illegal immigration and to free-trade agreements, both of which had threatened jobs in the African-American community. “We won’t let your jobs be stolen from you anymore,” vowed Trump.

More Random Thoughts/Information

This is a blunt but sobering piece.  Quote: "This election also proved once again that Barack Obama is a fiction created by the media, as his enthusiastic campaigning for Hillary brought yet another embarrassing rejection of both him and his policies. If there was any doubt about what Americans thought of his “accomplishments,” they were shattered by the results of this election. For the third time in six years, BHO campaigned hard for Dirty Dem candidates— this time with a life-and-death fervor of someone running for a third term, which he was — and once again got his bloated ego handed to him on a platter."  and, "Listen up: Neither Barack Obama nor anyone else on the radical left has any intention of working with either Trump or the Republican Congress. Perhaps a goodly number of Republican Trump haters will timidly get on board the Trump Train in order to protect their own careers, as was evidenced in Paul Ryan’s Save-My-Ass speech Wednesday morning, but Ryan’s after-the-fact overture to Trump was precisely the kind of thing that has long disgusted voters. It was a last minute about-face in the hopes that Trump would keep him on as Speaker of the House, which he almost certainly will.  It would be a tragedy if Trump fell victim to kingitis and lost control of the very movement he led. The millions of enthusiastic people who voted for him did not do so in the hopes that he would “work with” those who are trying to, and succeeding at, destroying America. They voted for him in the belief that he would totally oppose their anti-American agenda and bring down the entrenched and corrupt system of the political class."    https://www.lewrockwell.com/2016/11/robert-ringer/nothing-trump-presidency-will-peaceful/

The media got it all wrong.  Quote: "The representatives of that media have already begun to look inward, wondering if they caused this to happen with all the free coverage they gave Trump back in the primaries.  But while they have correctly identified the “culprit,” they have missed the target when it comes to what they did wrong. It wasn’t the quantity of the coverage; it was the quality of it. They demonized Donald Trump beyond all reason, writing spooky articles about Adolf Hitler without the slightest hint of irony. And with every new exaggeration and every ridiculous lie, they pushed him closer to the White House.  The REAL Donald Trump isn’t New York’s answer to Ted Cruz. He isn’t Barry Goldwater. He isn’t Rush Limbaugh.  He is an entirely new beast of American politics, and he won because he took on a tired, outdated Republican model. His ideology certainly isn’t liberalism, but it isn’t quite conservatism, either. It’s summed up by those two powerful words: America First.  And if he governs with that principle, we are in for a fantastic four years.    http://www.restoreamericanglory.com/freedoms/all-americans-won-tuesday-whether-they-know-it-or-not/

You should also find this interesting.  It reveals how the people across the vast land mass of our country feel about Republicans versus Democrats.  It is really amazing and may shock some.  Democratic controlled  population centers on the east and west coast  plus a few outliers are the only places where they have majority support of the local population.   http://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2016/11/11/memo-to-liberals-republicans-won-the-house-popular-vote-n2244365

This is a very thoughtful piece by a thoughtful writer of the left. I do not agree with his concluding paragraphs but think his assessment of journalistic and Democrat failures is mostly right on.   Quote: "The Democratic Party's failure to keep Donald Trump out of the White House in 2016 will go down as one of the all-time examples of insular arrogance. The party not only spent most of the past two years ignoring the warning signs of the Trump rebellion, but vilifying anyone who tried to point them out. It denounced all rumors of its creeping unpopularity as vulgar lies and bullied anyone who dared question its campaign strategy by calling them racists, sexists and agents of Vladimir Putin's Russia. But the party's willful blindness symbolized a similar arrogance across the American intellectual elite. Trump's election was a true rebellion, directed at anyone perceived to be part of "the establishment." The target group included political leaders, bankers, industrialists, academics, Hollywood actors, and, of course, the media. And we all closed our eyes to what we didn't want to see."   http://readersupportednews.org/opinion2/277-75/40243-how-america-got-it-so-wro

Seemingly America's elite leftists have not learned the lesson of Hillary's defeat.  Either that or they are willfully continuing their pursuit of establishing a socialist USA neatly ensconced within a socialist New World Order.  Quote: "Identity politics and tribalism, the first being the quasi-intellectual justification for the second, are the lens through which much of our culture sees the world today.  When leftists say Trump's startling victory Tuesday represents a "whitelash" (as in whites finding a hero and voting for him en masse), they are attempting to cash out the vital ideas that this contest was really about in favor of the Marxist idea that all political change is a struggle of class and race – a zero-sum game where for one side to win, the other must lose.  The left is wedded to this idea of struggle and identity because the conflict it engenders always gains leftists more centralized power, no matter whose ox is being gored at the moment.  But assigning the Trump revolution to "whitelash" is particularly galling because it takes the vital ideas at the core of the Trump victory and attributes them to mere tribalism.  It's up to each of us to drag the discussion back to those ideas before the left converts this pandering into the dominant narrative."  and, "We must remind each other, and the larger culture, of this, as Trump must continue to engage the country with more good ideas as his term's beginning approaches.  Tribalism and identity politics are nothing but naked Marxism, intended to turn us to each other's throats and thereby give more and more power to the leftists as being (in their minds, at least) the only way to bring peace.  Worse, they keep us from actually doing the things we must do to return our country to greatness." http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2016/11/the_left_is_looking_to_explain_the_election_by_invoking_tribalism_and_identity_politics.html 

Leveling false, completely unfounded charges, against Senator Jeff Sessions is unacceptable behavior.  Trump has nominated Sessions to be the Attorney General.  Read the credentials he has verses what the left claims.    http://conservativetribune.com/dems-sessions-racist-far-from/?

For those who want to understand how globalists think this will provide a good start.  To be sure they lament Trump's victory over Hillary and pledge to renew their efforts to achieve their goal of a New World Order/One World Government.  Two quotes: "For U.S. internationalists, the election of Donald Trump poses a monumental challenge,” wrote Stewart M. Patrick, in a Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) blog, The Internationalist, in reaction to the stunning upset victory of Trump in Tuesday’s presidential election. What concerns Patrick is not just Trump himself, but the growth of the anti-globalist movement, noting, “Two decades ago, Patrick J. Buchanan’s pitchfork populism attracted no more than twenty percent of the Republican electorate. Today his ideological heir is bound for the White House.”  and  "By his own admission, Patrick is part of the political and economic establishment that has promoted globalism for the past several decades. He is a senior fellow and director of the Program on International Institutions and Global Governance. So this blog article gives us valuable insight into the thinking of the global elite.  “Among its many implications, Donald Trump’s election as president calls into question the open liberal international order this country has championed and defended for more than seven decades,” Patrick lamented. In his blog he asserted that, “Trump won because he recognized and tapped into deep public anxieties about the direction of the United States and its role in the world.” Patrick said the specific concerns that Trump was able to address sufficiently to win the presidency showed that he understood that a growing number of Americans mistrust globalization; are weary of overseas commitments; and are determined to reassert sovereign control over U.S. borders."  and, "Richard Haass, president of the CFR, which favors globalism, took note of the Brexit vote and warned Clinton of its ramifications. “For Hillary Clinton’s campaign, this is something of a warning not to underestimate this disaffection, not [to] underestimate political and economic nationalism.”  and, "Writing in his 2002 Memoirs, David Rockefeller, the longtime chairman of the CFR, was quite blunt in what he and his fellow globalists wished to accomplish. “Some even believe we [the Rockefeller family] are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as “internationalists” and conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure — one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” Clearly, Rockefeller was not joking, and, as the American presidential election just past has indicated, the American people are not laughing about this effort to destroy our status as an independent nation. But as Stewart Patrick so clearly puts it in his blog, the global elites are not giving up, despite their repudiation in the latest election."   http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/24609-globalists-admit-trump-election-is-serious-challenge   It should be obvious to readers that the globalists are in the game for themselves and not the people.  Like both Obama and Hillary they are simply too full of themselves and their ambitions to understand much less acknowledge the needs, thoughts and dreams of average human beings.  Trump's victory was a victory for the common man and in all probability will only delay but not halt the globalist's ultimate and likely inevitable victory over the rest of humanity.  If they have their way that will be when a global version somewhat akin to the European Middle Ages will be visited upon the majority population of the entire globe.  

This is the typical behavior of the self proclaimed "tolerant" left when they don't get their way.  Quote: "It seems like only yesterday the tolerant left was predicting that if Trump lost the election, he and and his supporters would refuse to accept the results. Even Sally Kohn noted the “important difference” in the civility of the democrats versus the anger of the republicans. Member when they said that? Member?  But that’s not quite what happened now, is it?  Following Donald Trump’s political smackdown at the polls, the liberal left pretty much lost their marbles. What started with looks of disgust turned into tears then quickly ignited a rage that burned American flags and started dumpster fires across the country."    http://bearingarms.com/jenn-j/2016/11/10/group-of-black-thugs-attack-white-chicago-man-for-voting-trump/?

Here is a very interesting item.  In the opinion of the author the election of  Trump may turn out to be a really good thing.  He postulates that we will not be subjected to more  Saul Alinsky tactics such as those used by Obama which would likely have continued under a Hillary presidency.  Quote: "Alinsky said, "The real arena is corrupt and bloody. ... Life is a corrupting process. ... He who fears corruption fears life."  He actually pronounced that, "[c]orruption is good."  What is the word used most often to describe the wanton actions of the Clintons? "Corruption"!  With such amoralists, there is no primary truth.  Truth is relative and changing.  Hell is their Heaven.  Lies are their truth.  This is why it's so easy for Obama and Clinton to lie and lie again and again, to obfuscate endlessly.  This explains their contempt for the Constitution, which they consider a document to be changed by activist judges, societal whim, and cultural turn or wave."    http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/11/hillary_clintons_worldview_a_eulogy.html   A huge swath of uninformed/misguided/unethical leftists (knowingly or not use Alinsky techniques) are displaying the typical leftist reaction when they do not get their way.   http://www.wnd.com/2016/11/pro-trump-violence-claims-fabricated/   These uninformed/misguided souls are being manipulated by a most repulsive individual and all around bad guy billionaire who is a strong supporter of Democrat party's leftist, progressive and socialistic policies.   http://familysurvivalheadlines.com/boom-soros-behind-busing-in-paid-protesters-for-nationwide-anti-trump-protests/

In recent notes much information has been provided regarding socialist billionaire George Soros.  Readers will by now know that I think he is a bad man.  Maybe this item will give some additional insight as to why I feel that way.  http://patriotpowerednews.com/watch-soros-doesnt-want-you-to-see-this-video-share-it-with-everyone/   More Soros related information follows.

  

George Soros and friends will not stop pushing their socialistic agenda. They are ignoring the election results and intend to get in the way of anything Trump tries to implement.  Plans are already under way.  Quote: "George Soros and his fellow liberal mega-donors are currently readying the post-Hillary Clinton Democratic party to oppose President-Elect Donald Trump.  According to Politico, Soros and other key members of the so-called “Democracy Alliance” met in Washington, DC at the Mandarin Oriental hotel on Sunday for the first day of the group’s three-day investment conference."  and,  "Therefore, at this year’s meeting, Soros and other liberal leaders — including Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren and Keith Ellison — will discuss opposing Trump’s plan for his first 100 days in office, a plan the DA called “a terrifying assault on President Obama’s achievements, and our progressive vision for an equitable and just nation.”    http://dailycaller.com/2016/11/14/soros-prepares-for-trump-war/   As usual egocentric leftist elitists pursue their socialistic objectives, ignoring the will of the people. Their view apparently is that Obama's failed presidency was one of successful "achievements" in moving along the destruction of our nation.  They intend to continue to push failure over potential success in hopes they eventually reach their goal of forcing upon us all a One World Government with the UN in charge, making our country a mere cog in their utopian dream. 

This is an excellent piece that details what the socialistic elite leftist such as George Soros want to impose on the rest of us. Quote: "The so-called liberal press, and the academic institutions of America, have sold out completely. They are on board with what they can see of the Globalist agenda. The press will never challenge that agenda. They are grotesque cowards of the first order. I have met some of them during my 30-plus years of working as a reporter. Behind their perfumed fronts, they give off a stench.  I created this website 15 years ago, in part, to expose Globalism in its various aspects, as a deep sickness of elites; Globalism must be cut off and shut down.  America is America. For the most part, its people are decent. Their leaders have betrayed them time and time again, without a second thought, without a shred of remorse. The so-called populist movement which is growing by leaps and bounds, which got its legs under it with Ron Paul, must not come to a halt, no matter who sits in the White House, no matter what he does. The future is now. " and, "As if the bloodshed and violence that George Soros’ filthy money has caused around the globe isn’t enough, as of late he’s been especially active in America trying to create race wars on US soil. Spending millions ($33 million in Ferguson alone) to send busloads of his mercenary army of agitators to foment riots and violence in inner cities right after another white cop kills another unarmed black man in Ferguson and Baltimore, Soros as a huge $25 million Clinton campaign donor also deployed mentally handicapped individuals and members of Black Lives Matter to disrupt and incite brawls at Trump rallies this year blaming it on opponents Sanders and Trump. The bloodsucking Soros thrives on stirring up trouble and hostilities around the globe, pitting various people and groups against each other as part of his elitist strategy to divide and rule the world. Since the late 1980’s the double trouble kingpin has conspired insurgency and regime change revolts in Eastern European nations like Poland and the Czech Republic and ran the show dictating at will with his money and unbridled power what Secretary of State puppet Hillary needed to do in Ukraine, Albania and elsewhere in order to continue receiving both his financial support and “guidance.” https://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2016/11/14/globalism-revisiting-the-monster-in-the-presidential-campaign/

If you still don't think George Soros is a really bad guy please read this item.  He funded the violence at Trump rallies and is now funding riots in protest of Trump's victory.  He has a cadre of professional agitators used for his un-American activities.  He has in the past funded violence operations at a host of other venues Black Lives Matter activities and Occupy Wall Street events.  . http://familysurvivalheadlines.com/boom-soros-behind-busing-in-paid-protesters-for-nationwide-anti-trump-protests/   Here is one more item suggesting his funding support for rebellious student groups.  http://freebeacon.com/politics/soros-funded-group-pushing-sanctuary-campus-anti-trump-protests/?

Besides Hillary the three main losers in the last election are....   http://personalliberty.com/hillary-clinton-isnt-elections-biggest-loser/    This is a follow-on to the mainstream media's demise as a legitimate news enterprise.  http://www.wnd.com/2016/11/how-the-media-helped-elect-trump/    If this information is true then Hillary did not win the popular vote. Quote: "What they are not telling us, is over 3 million of her votes were cast by illegal aliens, almost 2 million votes came from dead people, and almost 3 million people were registered to vote in more than 1 state."   http://eaglerising.com/38660/hillary-clinton-lost-the-election-by-10-million-popular-votes/    and, many of her followers are sore losers.   http://personalliberty.com/clinton-supporters-terrorize-electoral-college-voters-taunts-death-threats/  and,  Quote: "A college student from Michigan said Wednesday that he has received death threats after being chosen to cast an Electoral College vote for his state in December.  Although the presidential election was won by Donald Trump on November 8, it's not official until December 19, when all 538 members of the Electoral College will come together to cast their votes.  http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/30/politics/banerian-death-threats-cnntv/index.html   Do these examples reflect favorably on the political left's self proclaimed "tolerance"?

 

There is ample evidence that Obama has little no regard for the interests and desires of the vast majority of the American people.  He is trying to fast track more un-vetted Muslims into our country before his term ends.   http://www.wnd.com/2016/11/obama-fast-tracks-plan-to-take-muslim-migrants-rejected-by-australia/  

How sad it is that former President Carter has such misguided thoughts which serve to remind us of his failed presidency.  Quote: "Continuing to rest his hat on a stack of half-truths, non-truths, and innuendo, Carter chides Israel for the fact that Palestinian Arabs are not Israeli citizens. Of course they aren't. They want their own state. Why should they be Israeli citizens? He adds to this the outright lie that "most live under Israeli military rule." That's absurd. Most live under Palestinian Authority rule. These are simple facts he willfully misrepresents. Carter inflates the number of Israeli residents of Judea and Samaria, "the West Bank," (or what he calls Palestine) by some 50%, from some 400,000 to 600,000. He must have his head back during his presidency when inflation was at record highs. Either way, he’s deliberately and maliciously wrong."   http://townhall.com/columnists/jonathanfeldstein/2016/12/01/jimmy-carter-espouses-antiisrael-venom-like-a-cancer-n2252927?

An unfortunate turn has been taken by the "tolerant" left.  Quote: "Now that the voters have wholly rejected the retarded, delusional leftist vision for America -- which we might as well just call "liberal suicide" -- the real character of the left is on full display. Today, angry liberals are turning to extreme violence and hatred, calling for the killing of Trump supporters, the assassination of Trump and the bloody beatings of all whites.  Yes, the racism, violence, bigotry and HATE of the left has finally come out of the closet."    http://www.libertynewsonline.com/articles/article_301_38930.php

During a meeting on 22 Nov 16 between mainstream media heavy weights and Trump, several topics were covered.  This item covers two of them and they highlight the liberty the media takes to write what they want people to believe rather than what was said.  They serve as examples of the liberal media's practice of producing "fake news".   http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2016/11/24/trump-climate-change-fake-news-cartel/?   Liberal media outlet NPR finds source of the fake news phenomenon.  It is a liberal outfit.   http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2016/11/24/npr-finds-fake-news-company-run-liberal-democrat/
