America Doomed has been predicting for a long time that this is not a typical recession — it is a depression but it is worse than that.  Henry Blodget reports that this downturn has lost more jobs from peak employment than any time since the Great Depression — and there is no sign of this improving any time soon.

Henry Blodget: The Scariest Jobs Chart Ever.

The reason this downturn is a cataclysmic event that is not recognized at the national level — technology will prevent jobs from being recreated.  Many of the job losses will be lost forever.  Technology has finally gotten to the point of displacing more jobs, many more jobs, than it creates.  In fact, when people start new companies today that utilize technology for the workforce much more than people.  Technology works cheaper and tirelessly.  Technology can do thinks that regular people cannot do.  They don’t take vacations.  They can go for many years, nearly forever, without getting sick.  If technology gets sick there is usually new technology can be rolled in quickly.

Unfortunately, there is nobody talking about this on the national stage.  President Obama and those bozos he has running the economy only speak of the return of jobs.  You will never hear any of them talk about the fundamental changes in the economy.  They mostly say — be patient — and jobs will return.  Well, they are wrong or stupid.  I suspect even if it occurs to them, they have no idea what to do.

On the other hand, Republicans think they know what to do — cut taxes which causes people to create new jobs.  Well, those bozos are still living in the past when creating new companies required people.  Today, new companies might require a few people but nothing like the numbers in the past.  Thus, cut all the taxes you want but there will not be major job increases.

There is only one solution which will happen eventually — it is socialism.  Before you go crazy with that word, understand that socialism is not communism.  Socialism is the idea that everybody has to have minimums before anybody can have more.  As more and more  people drop below the necessary minimums, more civil unrest will develop.  This is why the health care debate is so interesting and important.

Republicans are arguing there should be no minimums in anything — even health care — in fact — they believe people should just die if they can’t afford health care.  What they fail to recognize is that the number of people in this category will continue to increase — it will eventually get to people who have jobs and even think they can pulled themselves out of despair.  If you cannot find a job — not just any job — but a living wage job — they you are doomed in today’s America.  You have no real choices.

What Democrats fail to recognize is that there has to be a totally different plan to handle the economy.  What worked in the past has already stopped working for many and its not working will increase for many others.  At some point there will be national policies of minimums — in housing, health care, food, transportation.  The government will get in the business of finding and even creating jobs for people who need them.   The government will send people back to school to educate them in areas where there are needs.  Otherwise, people will die but before they die there will be civil unrest.

There will be massive protests because of the lack of minimums.  As more and more people join the disenfranchised there will be more unrest.  Eventually, there will be out and out rebellion — people will die — many people.  In the remains there will be new national policies of guarantee minimums — socialism — because there is no other way.  Wealth will be spread around.  There will be a new currency and more like a voucher system.  There will be vouchers for food, housing, etc.  People will be required to work unless they are incapable.  For those, they will be trained, if possible.  Some will just be wards of the state.  However, everybody will receive minimums.

This is where the horrid problem America is facing — in the midst of already — comes from.  There are fundamental changes in the economy and the national bozos are acting like this is just an ordinary recession.

America is doomed.
