Human Dignity in the workday is ignored again

The rationale of human dignity in the workday and former solid economic models ignored


More news that I call nose picking news that infects the flow of common sense and history........

Our top newspaper in Ohio USA, The Plain Dealer has an article by Senator Sherrod Brown on the editorial page about - A national manufacturing strategy .

Senator Brown talks about how the economy based on manufacturing has been reduced while the financial service industry has increased. He says that a strong industrial base is critical in creating economic prosperity and when economic superpowers of the past turned to the financial industry instead of production services, they never recover.

This all sounds right but as so many others of our leaders, he does not frame the events of our times with the past for a comparison of good economic models. Our industrial might won World War 2. President Roosevelt started by launching the Lend Lease Act where we sent products and food to our allies without worrying about getting paid. This unleashed the most awesome industrial might the world has ever known. And everything stayed in place in the U.S.A in geopolitical balanced settings

After the war, prosperity continued as the U.S. launched the Marshall Plan to restore economies in Europe and the Far East. The Marshall Plan was about duplicating success and not dividing it up and transferring it around the world.

Senator Brown now says if we want to stay competitive with other nations and lead the world again, we need a strong national manufacturing policy. He never says anything about the industrial economic model we shreddes through free trade and globalization needs to be put back together again. The industrial revolution is not over. The U.S. just sent it somewhere else. He does not say anything about how human dignity was degraded and the value of workers and work was deflated to keep up with the competition from abroad that use impoverished workers to make our products and our putting out family farms across the globe with subsidized commodities. And most of all, he leaves out the part, where all should be asking - - - Who said we had to compete with each other for the same jobs in a global economic arena?

He talks about being innovated and a need for investment in research and development . He leaves out the part our our region once led the way in high technology but not only lost this lead but actually sent the technology to places like China for free. And every time a product is sent outside the U.S.A, all the know- how from all the processes go with it. Millions lost their jobs in the computer industry in the USA and this skill and know how will never be recovered. There is no difference with new innovations like clean energy, information technology or aerospace if the production phase goes somewhere else in the world. The same applys to all of his other suggestions regarding supply chains, skills and fair trade. He talks about a level playing field but there will never be any as long as free trade keeps doing its thing. The core of free trade and globalization is the moving of production from place to place for the sake of cheaper labor and there will always be someone willing to work for less and there will always be governments willing to join hands with the money changers for the sake of more profit and the creation of more money products instead of growing local value added economies that duplicate success and not destroy it.

Saving few jobs while millions lose there in a silent depression

The real article about our economic crisis should include the events caused my free trade in a global economic arena with workers really having no voice in the matter. This history is always ignored........ The elder President Bush announced the New World Order and formulated the free trade programs. President Clinton followed and passed these programs. Pres Bush the 2nd came and took the peoples eyes off the economic crisis and said look over here at may shock and awe wars. Now Pres. Obama comes and bails out the money changers who caused all the problems while ignoring the suffering of workers. All these presidents acted as one pushing free trade and globalization and still do as one.
