James Madison describes our current "Jobs" problem
James Madison Federalist no. 62 ^ | February 27, 1788 | James Madison

Posted on 02/14/2010 7:09:04 PM PST by 4Speed

As for Creating Jobs, even James Madison knew about our Present Unemployment Problems, and in his Federalist #62 describes our current "Jobs" problem........... ===========

The want of confidence in the public councils damps every useful undertaking, the success and profit of which may depend on a continuance of existing arrangements.

What prudent merchant will hazard his fortunes in any new branch of commerce when he knows not but that his plans may be rendered unlawful before they can be executed?

What farmer or manufacturer will lay himself out for the encouragement given to any particular cultivation or establishment, when he can have no assurance that his preparatory labors and advances will not render him a victim to an inconstant government?

In a word, no great improvement or laudable enterprise can go forward which requires the auspices of a steady system of national policy.

Well Duh? We sure have lost our way, but it hasn’t been a recent turn of events. It is now obvious that it can’t continue much longer.

Somehow I don’t think Mr. Madison would be feeling lively enough to run for president now...

Man cannot adopt the land anymore.

Whether it is abortion “choice” (which really means that man cannot adopt and men can only be called fathers if they pretend to be so at the precept of government restrictions on true free fatherhood) or the ideas that once technology replaced slavery we were going to run black baby killing clinics (bim bam thank you black woman, and go on suckle on MLK, Malcom X and Obama now that we do not need plantations and marching bands except in virtual hip hop intent with music machines) etc... the socialists have advanced the agenda of providing non-leading slave men who are only good for the taxed money they produce for lawyers and evil retarded vain politicians who use power for the vainest and most evil of pursuits of earth borrowing.

Madison the “naive”. He made too much sense. What blessed days were these when men who made “too” much sense were much welcome.

Do not Vote for Lawyers . . . should be the mantra of the next 10 Elections, only then will we have tort reform for the people.

90% of politicians are lawyers.

You do realize that Madison was one of our Founding Fathers.

And if he’s still alive, we’ve got a big problem on our hands...

I was being facetious, apparently the tone wasn’t as overwhelming as I thought.
