{"product_id":"9781542820677","title":"Why Did We Let Flint Rot Into Decay: Ushering In A Trump Presidency?","description":"FOR a democracy to work we must have an informed electorate-and a tiny handful know this-sadly not many-but we stood on one foot and then the other and let Flint\/the Rust Belt rot into decay-when we had the \"legal authorization\", on the books, to prevent this horrendous travesty! A brief history leading up to this: Following WW II President Truman saw a disaster looming-how to provide employment for 12 million returning troops-and prevent our drifting back into another Great Depression, and he saw the necessity for some \"public-sector\" employment-and we, as a nation, owed employment to these brave souls.... But in a destructive twist the Republicans in Congress started waiving and flailing their arms in air-frightening the American people with \"socialism\" [sure, when we, in a democracy work together on behalf of the common good, for employment or healthcare--that is \"socialism\"].....But the Republican hysteria laid the groundwork for exploiting the Red Scare-and ushered in the most evil senator, and era, in America history-- McCarthyism-which still hangs over America like a dark cloud! To this day our small and petty still use the word \"commie\" to sabotage our democracy-and replace rational solutions essential to effective Job Creation in our 21st Century market economy---with their fraud.....i.e., the most pernicious fraud in American history, that: \"The market can provide anybody wanting a job, with a job.\"...IT IS PURE BS! And as Thomas Frank noted in \"LISTEN, LIBERAL\", we Democrats have fallen down on the job....we didn't speak up-and as it has turned out....became part of the collateral damage....\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eJim Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJan 28, 2017\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e72 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1542820677\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781542820677\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50343550976305,"sku":"9781542820677","price":13.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781542820677__69911.jpg?v=1732206339","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781542820677","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
