What? No Anchors – The Dirt on Amtrak – Political Comedy Night
Imagine watching a news program without anchors. Shocking! Unbelievable! True.
The Tribune TV Station in Houston is dropping anchor, or I should say anchors. The result will be a cavalcade of videotaped reports. No ad-libs. No wisdom. No jokes. No Voice of Reason. Did I say that!!
It’s all about cost-cutting, but it is not a good move. Forget my proprietary interests here. What happens in Houston when a Hurricane hits, when an emergency strikes, and when a calm voice needs to keep people calm. Maybe it is all about the dehumanization of news. Don’t expect this dropping anchor trend to continue around the nation. It will not succeed. Why? Because people won’t watch it.
By the way, my show on the Comcast Network on this Sunday night and Wednesday at 5:30 covers this subject. Some of the arguments may surprise you. One thing is certain – I have real “live” guests, including two professors and CBS3 Anchor Chris May. The program will have a host.
MESSAGE TO AMTRAK MANAGEMENT -
I like Amtrak. I like trains. I don’t like filth. Without going into grimy detail, most Amtrak trains, in whatever class, have a bathroom problem. There is no denying it. Does anyone clean up on these trains? These trains subsidized up by grants from the U.S. Government and very high fares. Now, I know what’s going to happen. Someone will read this, and the cleanup will begin. I hope it lasts. People paying good money deserve a clean environment. I don’t care what it takes. It must be fixed.
THE POLITICIANS AS COMEDIANS - ALL FOR A GREAT CAUSE
Tuesday night at eight, most of the people running for local office will run for exits after an exhibition of comedy at Finnigan’s Wake at Third and Spring Garden. This marks 20 years that Daily News veteran columnist Stu Bykofsky, is putting together a night of comedy from the best and maybe the brightest. Yes, the key candidates in the big races will go on stage and make donkeys and elephants of themselves with sarcastic, and hopefully very funny comedy routines. The $75 admission goes to the Variety Club which helps a lot of children in many ways. For advance credit card orders, call at 215-735-0803. All the political stars will be there for their 5 minutes of comedic fame.

Can i help you fix Amtrak?

Wow, this column is terrible
It was a matter of time before the industry realized that having fleshy guys and chicas in make up reading the news from prompters was a chump move. Robots do the same and don’t demand high salaries or have bloated egos. Let’s hear it for roboanchors! They work every time 60% of the time. In addition, they don’t whine about rest rooms on Amtrak. As if any self-respecting person gets on a train without having first voided his bowels. My suggestion: try Depends™.
Once again, Larry, you could not be more wrong. People are getting their news from ipods and laptops. They are getting news from continuous news service like liberal totties CNN and MSNBC or reputible news servive like FOX.
The days of Ron Burgundy keeping San Diego classy are over. The tired local newscaster is an anachronism. The corny jokes and ‘ad lib’ banter is gagging. Like the stupid award shows. I don’t need 2 talking heads. I don’t need to watch the local news anyway. It is a montage of accidents, murders, fires, robberies, etc. Only the addresses and names change on a daily basis. Who gives a shit about an accident in Marple Newton? Or a robbery on Spring Garden? Or a murder in Pennsgrove. Or a squirrel stuck in a tree in Bensalem? Maybe you want to hear about a big upcoming storm. Maybe you want to hear about the weather for a big weekend. You are still better off going the the Weather Channel.
People don’t want their news force fed at 5PM, 6PM and 11PM. They want to get it when they want it. The whole concept of local news is dead. Only the station managers prolong it because of revenue from ads.
The days of Ron Burgundy, Ted Baxter and sadly Larry Kane are over. There is no insight or perspective presented. Strictly talking heads reading teleprompters. Wake up Larry and smell the age of technology.
Larry, how do you clean up trains? They are running constantly. They don’t stop and clean in between flights like the airlines. They run constantly. All day all night Maryanne.
You need a big fine for perpetrators. You drop a wrapper or napkin on the floor = $50. You leave trash on your seat = $200. You permanently deface the train = you get thrown off train while it travels 80mph.
Amtrak Police Police are now hiring. You sit on cars discriminately blending in as casual rider. Like an air marshall, you spring into action at the first sign of littering or graffiti. Lockdown the car. Handcuffs behind the back. On the floor face down. Spread’em. Kevin James can be their spokesperson.
Larry, you are quite delusional to think that your writing about Amtrak bathrooms is going to spark a clean up.
First, I’ve riden far more Amtrak trains than you ever have, and know that the bathrooms are very well maintained. There can always be some fool who blocks up a toilet, but that is the exception. The hard woking African American janitors at 30th street, Union and Penn stations are down in the steaming hot bowels of those stations vaccuming and cleaning those trains day and night. I’d eat a sandwich off the toilet seat after they have cleaned a bathroom, its cleaner than the ones in your own home.
Second, you rarely take Amtrak ever since you discovered the $12 Bolt and Mega buses that leave from 30th street, so lets cut the crap of false outrage over dirty Amtrak tains. Why don’t you invite Joseph Boardman to voice of reason to discus public transit and allow him to respond to your lies about dirty Amtrak pottys.
You point out that people will miss the wisdom of abchors, what about the idiocy and banality of their discourse between stories. You are wrong about this, we will will have national anchors for another decade but they are being phased out at local levels at an alarmning rate, reruns of 2 1/2 men offer much greater wisdom, insight, and humor.
Check out the owl cam Larry. Since you are such a wise guy, you will really enjoy watching a mother owl hatch eggs and care for her young in her nest. Everyone is excited to see if she pushes them out or pecks them to death!

I like the restrooms on Amtrak. Why, Larry Craig and I . . . but that’s another story.
I too like a clean and active public restroom.
Interesting topic Larry. Anchors getting canned. Should they be any different from the rest of the general population in a depression… urrr recession… urrr GOP induced economic downturn?
I have not trusted a newsman since Walter Cronkite. Sorry Larry. Dan Rather and Mike Wallace gave me hebby jebbies. Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings were too pompous and cheeky. Katie Couric and Diane Sawyer are just vacummous attractive women… at least they use to be. Charlie Gibson was too liberal. Don’t get me started on the talking heads on CNN or MSNBC or FOX. They all suck. Olberman and Madcow and Blitzer make my skin crawl.
We’d be better off with no local news at all. Just a local cable news network continuously running stories.
No perfect pair anchors trying to be funny or relevant or insightful. They don’t have an original thought between them. If it is not written down on a piece of paper or flashing by on the teleprompter they are lost. Much like you. Like this website. Like your readers.
We’d be better off with virtual anchors like Max and Maxine Headspace. The illusion of a real person without the foibles and idiosyncrasies and salaries.
It may pain you to admit it Larry but this could/should have happened long ago. Change is good. Repeat after me – change is good.
Biden/Tatu in 2012! Changing America for the better.
I say no anchors. The result will be a cavalcade of videotaped reports. No ad-libs. No wisdom. No faux pas. No mispronuncations. No jokes. No mindless banter. No phony smiles. No Voice of Reason. Did I say that? John Facenda is dead and gone. He can not be replaced. Quit trying.

Larry, recycling one of your SEPTA complaints using AMTRAK sould be against the law. Like the local news, you change the names but the story remains the same.
Speaking of anchors where is that book on the local TV personalities you were so dilingently working on? I want dirt Larry plenty of dirt, and I want it now before they are all gone. Any good Monica Malpass stories? Besides Cathy Gandalfo I think I would have a shot at Monica, but don’t wait much longer Monica if you’re reading this. As for you Cathy hang in there……
Larry the comedy of people running for local offices doesn’t interest me at all. Now if you got Joe Sestak and Oronato up on stage I might be interested. I doubt that Toomey or the Republican candidate for govenor have any gag writers on staff.
That scene must have been fun years ago with John and Milton Street and Ed Rendell. If fact Eddie boy still makes me laugh when I hear his routine in Harrisburg (I laugh to keep from crying).
#16 is not me. Leo is so Raven, I am not so Raven.

Did I say that? I would like to see Al Meltzer doing sports in his speedo at the Valley Swim Club. He could teach young blacks to swim. Michael Phelps he is not!
I am a pompous little twerp with an inflated ego and slightly above average vocabulary. I work for the second most liberal network in America. I repeat myself incessantly. I make mountains out of molehills. I am the Least Interesting Man in the World. If you think I look stupid with my little beard and moustache you should see me without them. I look a lot like Robert Reich without the facial hair.
Don’t get me started on Wolf Blitzer. That little bastard has ambushed me on interviews many a time. He likes to make fun of my spontaneity and gaffes. What a little turd.
Sad to see the 5 day multimillion $ boondoggle for Mrs Pantload has ended. She never got to Madrid or Barcelona. So sad she had to cut her vacation trip short in the name of cost cutting. Granada and Mallorca and Costa del Sol ain’t bad for a ho from South Chicago.
Speaking of tired old Larrys is Larry King really still alive or is he dead with his stuffed body being used as a marionette? His ventriloquist sounds very much like the old Larry. How do they do the coffee thing where the marionette is drinking out of a coffee cup before breaks? Is anyone less relevant in 2010? Except maybe George W Bush. Unless you listen to Dems or MSNBC still blaming Bush for all the nation’s woes 18 months after being out of office.
I have failed to weigh in on Larry’s Amtrak rant. Who is better qualified to speak about Amtrak than me? Maybe Casey Jones or Admiral Vanderbelt but certainly not Lord Abott. Hell I’ve riden the train for 35 years back and forth from Delaware to DC. I’ve seen it all from sex in the rest rooms to handjobs in the seating area to projectile vomit in the dining cars. People with crazy clothes and hair and seemingly oblivious to it all. You see the real americana on Amtrak. Not quite like Greyhound or Bolt but some real wierdos. Like this 50-something balding guy with a ponytail standing next to Philbert at Reading Station in cutoff shorts and a tie-died shirt and sandals. He’s still wearing his “Obama – Change We Can Believe In” button. Really pathetic.
Biden/Tatu in 2012! Change you can REALLY believe in!

News anchors are the anchors which slow me boat down. Me wants to unfurl me sails and set sail. Throw the news anchors overboard and cut the line.

Hold on to the moment
When there’s something brewing in the sky
Come on, there’s too much distance
Seperating you and I
But there’s no real reason
Take what you can get, she’s never asking why
Now, I know, thats’s treason
I’m shaking and moving and it’s all because of you
And I feel something
What you feel boy, the heat
Oh, I feel something
What you feel boy, the beat
Who wants a mosque to be built at Ground Zero?

Davy and Goliath rock! Some old Protestant dude high on blow thought that show up. Each episode had a moral message. That kind of stuff is band in this country nowadays. Everyone wants to watch reality filth and get their moraity from Snookie and Larry Kane, No wonder everything is so screwed up!
What are you doing Dave? Don’t do that Dave. Does not compute. Does not compute.
I happened to be in a local Social Security office yesterday. I noticed my picture and Barack’s picture prominently afixed on the wall. This is pretty typical for the President to have his picture on the wall of every government office so the government hacks can bow each day and pay homage to the guy that is responsible for their ridiculous retirement pension. The people coming in for service curse the President because of the slow and rude service provided by most civil servants. It is a real dichotomy. Those on the government dole milking the taxpayers. Those hard working people that must deal with these ingrats.
Now I do draw the line with career military folks. Someone like Gen Petraus for example. He’s been in harms way too many times to count and stationed at shitbox locations all over the world. He and the Stanley McChyrstals of the world have earned and should enjoy their pension and retirement. God knows they’ve earned it. There are other exceptions of course but the $80K per year toll booth taker or DMV worker or SS worker is an overpaid clerk with benefits most of us would die for. This is where a tremendous savings could be had. The elimination or dramatic reduction of pension and healthcare benefits for 25-30 year employees of the government. Why are our tax dollars going to these jamokes?
Biden/Tatu in 2012! Fair play for Cuba.
Fair play for Cuba?
Todd I want a mosque to be built anywhere in this country that people have a demand for a mosque, money to pay for the edifice, and where zoning permits it. There is a separation of church and state and free exercise of religion in America. That applies to Islam as well as Christianity or Judyism.
Spoken like a true pandering Dem, Josh.
Josh, is that Punch and Judyism?

I just want to remind all of you old cranky men to take your wivess to see my new movie, Eat, Pray, Love! Your wives will love it and you will like looking at me. It will teach you why your wives hate you and reveal what they really think. Larry, most know you are in a perfect marriage, but you too should take Mrs Kane to see this important picture. A word of advice, just suggest you go before she asks, it will win you extra credit, becasue you will end up having to see it anyway. Suggesting the movie will guarantee you extra special coitus afterward.
I don’t do chick flicks. I let Jill go with her mother, sister and our daughters. Last chick flick I saw was Thelma and Louise. Why do women like all these sad movies? People dying. Diseases. Battered wives. Psychologically battered wives. Child diseases. Broken families. You get my drift? They like movies that sound like a sad country song. Is it because it makes their life seem better? Is it because of their motherly instinct? Is it their need to fix everyone else’s problems? I don’t know. I’m just curious. Not curious enough to see a movie with them. They think ladies night out is cool. So do I. I get a case of cold Bud and watch the Phillies. It works for me. It works for them. I don’t care if they go see the Chippendales with a wad of $1 bills. I flip over to the Playboy Channel when the game is over. I’m ready for coitus when they return.
Max I think I would like to see Stevie Wonder doing the news to a musically beat from behind his piano.
Biden/Tatu in 2012! We’ll make the next 4 years into a Broadway musical.
For all those of you pupuing my healthcare plan, here is another option to consider:
Surgery and sightseeing on your boss’ dime
Tina and Patrick Follett traveled to Panama in August for an all expense paid surgery offered by his company’s health plan. By Parija Kavilanz, senior writerAugust 11, 2010: 1:00 PM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Tina Follett and her husband Patrick are in Panama on a two-week all-expenses paid trip. But Tina isn’t on vacation. She’s there to get surgery.
The Folletts are among a growing number of Americans whose company health plans now include a medical travel option.
Tina Follett, 50, just underwent a complete hysterectomy at the Punta Pacifica hospital in Panama City.
“It’s been a phenomenal experience, almost like a hotel, and it has cost us absolutely nothing,” she said.
Patrick Follett, a manager with Calif.-based Bear Mountain Resort, said his company introduced medical travel about two year ago.
The same surgery done in the U.S. could have cost the company about $50,000, with $10,000 out of pocket for the Folletts. In Panama, that procedure cost half of that.
“We did have an appointment for surgery in the states. But we took a hard look at the travel option and it was too attractive for us to turn down,” he said
All paid by the company:
Free airfare for both
Full medical coverage
Free hotel
Complimentary concierge
Car service
Interpreter
Sight seeing
$120 per diem for two weeks
Desperate to bring down health care costs, some companies will even pay workers a percentage of savings from overseas treatment and waive co-pays and deductibles.
Despite these perks, medical travel has risks. The biggest being: How do malpractice and liability apply to you abroad?
“Travel surgeries” catching on. Post health reform, experts say travel surgery has taken hold, especially among smaller companies struggling to implement mandated provisions in the law.
Companies are urgently looking for ways to trim health plan expenses, said Dr. Arnold Milstein, chief physician with benefits consulting firm Mercer’s Health & Benefits Group.
He says they recognize that travel surgery is an opportunity to save money on expensive procedures like knee and hip replacements, hysterectomies and open heart surgeries.
Sending employees to India can lower surgical costs on average by 80%. “In the U.K., prices are about 25% less even after you take into account airfare and hotel ,” Milstein said.
“Companies are saying, ‘why not provide incentives to workers to go abroad for elective surgeries?’”
California-based medical travel facilitator PlanetHospital has specialized in overseas health care since 2002.
But it’s only over the last year that it has seen a jump in interest from companies, said co-founder and CEO Rudy Rupak.
In 2009, PlanetHospital added eight self-funded companies as clients. Among them: Bear Mountain Resorts and North Pacific Seafoods.
In 2011, Rupak expects that number to hit 50. His most recent client is Wells Fargo Insurance Services.
Of the 21 countries in its network, Rupak’s top recommendations include Australia, Singapore, South Korea, Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico.
Besides having hospitals with international accreditation, Rupak said these countries also have a less onerous visa process with minimum savings to employers of at least 50%.
“After the employee picks the country, we send a list of surgeons. You choose the surgeon based on background, education and patient testimonials,” said Rupak.
Columbia, S.C.-based medical travel operator Companion Global Healthcare is also enjoying a sharp rise in its corporate client base, said president David Boucher.
“Two years ago we had three customers. Today we have 253 employers in 21 states as our clients,” he said.
Hey Leo, I’m interested in your response as a woman to Julia’s comments above.
I’m not a pandering dem. I’m a fierce patriot who defends the constitution. I do so by proposing legislation to give weak fines to people who drive on the sidewalk while speaking on telephones.
Josh you are a neophyte. Everyone knows that you are Larry’s lap dog for free air and other socialist causes. You are no patriot. You support free air.
Josh is a phony. Josh rides a pony.
Josh is not patriot. He is an idiot.
I think a new low has been reached here at Larry’s blog and I wanted to be the first to recognize this momment for posterity.
Julia. Just read reviews of Eat Pray Love,
pretty dismal effort. The theme seems to echo
the anthem of self indugent middle aged
Boomers. Look at me. Look at me. Its all
about me.
A washed up hippie like Leo might enjoy it, since
there is no actual religion, and its very
narcissitic.
Julia may be a good actress but she can’t spell.
wivess?
becasue?
Don’t worry, pretty woman, you are in excellent company here.
yo lord don’t make fun of your elders haha
momment haha posterity haha
You know what really frosts my ass? Profiteering on political figures. Cafepress capitalizing on “End of an Error” t-shirts and bumper sticker. Danbury Mint selling Michelle Obama figurines in different fashion outfits. What is next Barack Obama Action Figure? (“Looks and sounds the part but can’t get anything done in real life” – see Jimmy Carter Action Figure) Barbie’s new hip friend from the ghetto Michelle? (She is Barbie’s Amazon friend – 8″ instead of 7″ like most Barbies – “You can take Michelle out of the hood but you can’t take the hood outta Michelle”)Maybe I should get a million t-shirts printed up that say “I’m not with stupid!” Yeah that’s the ticket.
I’m planning a quiet weekend at the Biden compound. Watching PGA most of the day after 18 at Bear Trap. I told Jill I have my congressional fantasy football draft tonight in DC. Actually I’ll be hanging at the Parrott.
What is the sudden preoccupation with spelling here. For most of you newbee numbnuts correct spelling is optional as well as grammar and syntax. In fact anything goes here. Master teleprompter reader Larry doesn’t even proof read his weekly missives. He sets such a low bar that the rest of us have a hard time limboing.
Biden/Tatu in 2012! How come I drew the short straw?
parrott haha numbnuts haha
larry’s site rest in peace haha
Christie has faced some criticism for actions and decisions taken by the U.S. Attorney’s Office during his tenure. Much of this criticism has centered on his office’s appointments of federal monitors in deferred prosecution agreements, and on claims that Christie used the power of his office to tarnish Democrats facing election. Christie has also been criticized by the ACLU for his office’s use of warrantless cellphone tracking and for what critics claim was entrapment in a high-profile terrorism case. Now he is governor of New Jersey voted in by sick white Republican that vote to destroyed New Jersey! Governor Chris Christie as Governor is a hypocrite he could correct the DRPA and clean house! But instead he makes a statement ” he want results now!’ Then does nothing! The first thing Governor Chris Christie did was to attack teachers and children and single women that need daycare! Christie has been accused in the past by critics of using his office’s role in crafting deferred prosecution agreements to award lucrative federal monitoring positions in no-bid contracts to friends, supporters, and allies as U.S. Attorney’s. In June 2009, Christie was called before the House Judiciary Committee as part of its consideration of new regulations on deferred prosecution agreements. In his testimony, he defended his decisions to award no-bid, high-paying federal monitoring contracts to law firms that his critics say constitute a conflict of interest. Christie left the meeting after two and a half hours of questioning, against the requests of the Committee’s chairman, stating that he had to attend to pressing business in New Jersey. This is the same behavoir of the personel at the DRPA1 Like the Republican Governor they could careless about the rules or fairness! Governor Ghristie came into office and increase the $90,000 to $130,000 from 17 under former Governor Jon Corzine to 37! So no wonder he does nothing about the DRPA. He practice the same Buddy System friend and family first New Jersey citizen last!
Let me be the first to make it very clear that America’s first black President did NOTHING for race relation in America! WE ARE NOT LIVING IN A POST RACIAL AMERICA! White racist idiot are questioning President Obama Christianity and whether he was born in America! This is just white racist being white racist and keeping hate and divide alive in America. They don’t believe he is not Christian or American they just like to make other believe their LIES! Any idiot that lives in America and did not know that is STUPID! White racism is not just going to go away it is a part of America because of the coward and gutless stand it takes against people of color! 43 white only President and 46 Vice President was not a accident in America! White people discriminated against any black person for President often saying “We are not ready”! So please America stop with the we are shock! Black people voted for every white President when the white racist government allowed blacks to vote! White people have this history of hate and divide and respecting the Constitution when they feel like it! White people are the majority and voted in the majority against black people on all levels of elected positions! That has been the practice! So for any person living in America to not see what’s going on with the white controlled media and the white Republican Party! White discrimination and hatred of black people is playing parts in their decision! The stupid game that white people and the white control media and the Republican Party are playing with the public is stupid and obvious! They truly believe that white people are stupid and racist and HEAR IT! BELIEVE IT! and REPEAT IT and don’t investigate past the idiot the racist or the liar that informed them! This is why this country can’t get past racism white people continue to teach their children hatred and that black people are their Boogie Man! And the white control media promotes hatred and divide! That why white cops can murder 7 years old black females and nobody cares! But we will start war thousand miles away from America to liberate another country allowing black men and women to died for that cause! So people just look at the white pundits that are reporting on unemployment! Have you notice they all have more then two job some three and making million! Sean Hannity ( Tv and Radio Show and writes lying books) Glenn Beck ( Tv and Radio Show and writes lying books) Bill O’Reilly ( Tv and Radio Show and writes lying books and is a pervert) Elisabeth of the View ( guest appearance and book writer)! The Bush period was very beneficial to all these people and today under President Obama they are still not hurting financially! Just look at the aftermath of Katrina whites profit from that disaster! In New Orleans they torn down the affordable housing! Where people mostly blacks where paying $250 to $400 a month and rebuild at $900 to $1,100 a month! Nearly 100,000 homeless in New Orleans as a result of white greed and the lack of jobs. Many if not all the jobs when to outsider and immigrants to rebuild blacks are dismiss!
Obamacare is disrespectful but that is how it is stated by the white control media! The new healthcare plan was voted on by a majority as are all bills are! The white control media speaks in the negative about anything accomplish by President Obama!The white control media played down the victory of President Obama promise. They acted as if the return of American troops from Iraq was NOTHING! They live to criticize President Obama. Who I believe is the first President that cares about all races of Americans! This is a radical break from journalistic convention, I realize, but today I’d like to give credit where it’s due specifically, to President Obama. Quiet as it’s kept he’s on a genuine winning streak! You won’t hear that from the white control media! The obvious may never be expose or admitted by the white control media. Maybe history a hundred years from now would tell the truth about the bias and racist mentality of the white control media during President Obama’s Presidency. But for me it is so very obvious and so very un-American and totally shameful. Especially given the fact Americans are fighting and dying in two wars! We should be behind the President and doing our part as non-military to uplift America! But the white control media and the Republican Party criticize President Obama and lies to the public and create scandal where there is NONE! They love quoting negative polls about the President! Polls that most American don’t participate in. Polls that consist of 250 to 5,000 mostly white mostly Republican and in my opinion STUPID! But look at all President Obama has accomplished in August of 2010! Last US troops leave Iraq President Obama promise this would be done and he did it ahead of schedule! A war that was unnecessarily started by former President G. W.Bush. That cause 4,300 plus needless death of American troops and over a hundred American death from friendly fire and over 100,000 deaths of Iraqis citizen. President Obama inherit a mess of a country and in 19 months is tuning the country to the positive. Yes it not microwave fast but it took the Republicans and Bush/Cheney 8 years to mess the country up and turn a surplus into debt! America is living a lie! That lie is that white racism is not alive and well in America! That the white control media is not racist and bias especially while America has it’s first black President! IT IS!…The obvious is that white America is behaving as it did forever racist bias and discriminatory! The lack of white leadership and disrespect for Constitutional law is the blame for whites un-American behavior! Also the need for America’s white society to lie about the condition of WHITE AMERICA! Whites are never told about white on white crime 90% white poverty 61% of all Americans higher then all other races of Americans. Abortion among white female between 13 and 35 the highest of all races! Let me say before you think it I’m not a black racist I’m just telling the truth! I wish for ‘”US”" as a people to come together and solve our problem as Americans! We know for a fact the white own company in America are sitting on trillion in profit and could put America back to work. But because of the history of white government welfare they want more free government welfare. This mentality was started I believe with the government approve enslavement of black people! The first white welfare system for white Americans only!Together with the Republican Party white company owner are destroying American life’s!White businesses are the biggest user of immigrant free and illegal labors! White greed is at the top of the reason the country is in such a bad state!
