University Degrees Produce Nonemployable Results

Posted on by Helena

The typical cost for a mid-grade college in state including books and a room is roughly $32,000 per year.   While a degree used to take 4-5 years to complete, today it takes closer to six years. As such, the total cost escalates to $192,000.   Depending on your source, between 28% and 53% of recent graduates are unemployed or underemployed.   90% of online job applications sent get no response from the employer.   And 33% of recent graduates work at a job that requires no college degree.

This is why the student loans outstanding have reached an astronomical $1.75 trillion.   Colleges have become worthless institutions for the vast majority of attendees.   Instead of having every US Taxpayer foot the bills, a better solution would be to shove it back at the universities!   Require all institutions to guarantee a qualified job at a specific salary level at admission, or the tuition is free.

Watch CRT studies, BLM studies, LGBT studies, acting studies, and all the superfluous studies be eliminated immediately. Degrees would be completely ravaged and revamped. And education levels would rise exponentially as professors were forced to actually TEACH.

Enrollment in colleges has been on a steady decline since 2010.  As a result of a loss of hospitality and manufacturing prospects, wages in those jobs have outpaced numerous degree programs.   Degreed students are working aimless jobs with no future.  While Biden touts false employment statistics, claiming the unemployment rate is just over 3%, that rate would not reflect the black population.

Unemployment rates are an algorithm guestimate that do not reflect those not on the state unemployment handout.   Smash and grab gangs are NOT employed, are predominantly/exclusively blacks, and outside of the tabulation.   With that caveat, the Biden stats claim DC and Nevada to have the highest unemployment among blacks at over 11%.

In 2022, the smash and grab cost to retailers was over $100 billion.   California’s Marxist left governor, Newsom, has now signed a bill making it a crime to ‘STOP’ any criminal in the act of stealing and applied a fee of $14,600 for anyone who violates this bill.

The smash and grab costs do not take into account rising insurance rates or damage costs as stores are trashed.   Walmart shut down 4 stores completely in Chicago.   Leaving vacant property and loss of sales tax revenue for federal and state and city governments!   In addition, the revenue loss impacts property tax revenue streams supporting police, firemen, schools, and counties.  Cities will soon become toilets.

Liberal minded governments will attempt to recover their costs via the federal government which means all taxpayers will be on the hook to bailout San Francisco, Portland, Houston, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburg, etc… etc… etc…   Same logic as student debt relief.

It is also likely, our esteemed Federal Looters will take the money from Social Security and give it to the Department of Education – a scheme developers and contractors manipulated for years illegally!   Bill one client up front, use the money to buy supplies for another client, and keep it rolling until the liens pile up.   Then declare bankruptcy.

Speaking of bankruptcy, the second largest city in the UK, Birmingham, has declared bankruptcy!   All nonessential payments are frozen.

The vacuous pro-illegal immigration NGO’s claim that undocumented illegals contribute $492 billion in tax revenue.   This figure includes social security and Medicare contributions for which they will never be able collect.   Free revenue for the government at the immigrant’s expense.   In 2022, the federal government claims it collected $5.03 trillion in tax revenue. Of course the government spent $6.2 Trillion despite no pandemic costs. By comparison, expenditures during pandemic crisis for 2021 were $6.8 trillion.   Where does it go?

In 2022, Medicaid spending was $768 billion with an increase in enrollment of 92.3 million people.   This represents a 300% increase since 2000 with a brief flatline during President Trump’s term.   What the graph reveals is that poverty in the US should be increasing at the same rate. However, Government bureau statistics fudge the numbers.

In contrast to the 92.3 million on Medicaid, the US government declares that 37.9 million people are in poverty.   So how can the 54.4 million people collect Medicaid when they are not in poverty?   Common Core Math Accounting.   Fake algorithms.   False Estimates.   Manipulated Data.

Take your pick!

Maybe the government workers in these departments went to college and earned a degree in basketweaving. Because they sure as Fark didn’t get a degree in accounting, statistics, or economics.   In accounting, when numbers don’t add up and tally there is a slush account.   CPA’s allow no more than 1% maximum in this account to fudge a bottom line.   By contrast, the federal government is allowing a 60% accounting Slush Fund!

Chiquita Brooks-LaSure is the Director in charge of Medicaid and Medicare Services. Her Bachelors is in arts, and her masters is in public policy.  According to the federal degree requirements for her position, she should have at minimum a bachelors degree in business administration, public health or health administration. In addition, a masters in healthcare admin is required.   La-Sure has none of these. So what were her qualifications?   She is black.

While common college graduates are under employed – blacks in NGO’s and government positions are way over their head employed!    Which is why our agencies are collapsing and our government is destroying the entire system thru a Protocol of racism. As it stands today, if Trump were to be elected in 2024 – every single department within and without the government would necessitate scraping.   And every employee would have to be deemed unfit for unemployment benefits.  

US Communism: Buyer Beware

Posted on by Helena

When everyone is ‘equal’, and no one is merited for their achievements, it is called “Communism”.  Communism by definition is the absence of social classes.  It advocates the ideology that the root of all problems in society stem from conflict between classes.  Common ownership.  Sharing no matter the labor, no matter the intellect.   Someone with an IQ of 180 is no different than one with an IQ of 80, and thus they may be deemed the exact same labor as determined by the dictatorship government. 

A valedictorian was denied his status despite his credentials because it might ‘offend’ those who didn’t achieve such heights.  It was deemed an unfair and unequal status and eliminated from the High School, East Wake High School, of North Carolina.

Firefighters have fought the communist agenda for decades as requirements were lowered in order to facilitate those who could not pass exams.

Imagine a doctor who was pushed through despite nearly failing every exam?  A politician who didn’t know politics?   A teacher who taught math without knowing basic principles… Of wait, that already exists.

Tolerance has come to mean – “everyone is capable even if they aren’t.

The means to crumble a society is to take away the achievers.

Sex education in the University of California now advocates porn for children as young as 10 or 12 stating that it is healthy and natural.   Yet, in the midst of the worst child sex trafficking ever known to man, somehow the university has no opinion.  Perhaps it is because those making these decisions were shuttled through the system barely able to read, but worthy of equality.

My generation has less than fond memories of this equality indoctrination when our children were in grade school and suddenly awards were granted to everyone no matter their performance.   It wasn’t about ‘winning or losing’, it was whether you showed up.

As all things do in this chaotic society, the pendulum swung so far left, the clock stopped working.

Other countries do not follow this model.  In fact, Germany follows a more purist version of Communism by having the government decide what each student is qualified to do based on their exams at a young age. Once this decision is determined, the child is pushed through his formative education accordingly.  Some are allowed to go to college, others to trade school, and still others are provided simply labor employment – as pre-determined by the Bundestat.

When Russia was Communist, Germany and the US were quite vocal in their denunciation.  And then the shift, the tectonic shift occurred and subtly a New Order was imposed.  So subtle that most didn’t even notice – until it was too late.

We wonder why our country continues to fall in marks, why our youth can’t get jobs, why we don’t excel as compared to even India and China…   Aghast, we have determined that it must be because we need more tolerance, more equality, more safe spaces, more condemnation of excelling, less distinction, less accolade, less…

There is a contingent of home schoolers in the US that have revolted.   And interestingly, the statistics show they excel better than public schoolers, more quickly, younger, and with 1/10 of the cost…

In Germany homeschooling is a crime punishable by jail and fines.

Why?  Because it circumvents the Order, it gives a child choice, it creates dreams, it opens doors.  And those attributes are considered a threat to the “International System of Norms”, aka, the New Order, The New World Order.

This Order advocates a shift of power, not naturally, but irrationally demanded and chaotically created.

The Bible is rather specific that God is Order, and thus, by default, chaos is evil, is sin.

When we hear the depravity from the tongues of Hollywood arrogance, I think most of us are saddened, more than angered, because we see how far they have strayed, how vile is their walk, and how defamed is their soul.   And as the Swamp is cleared more each day, we see that their defamation comes from their sins – the mirror.

And so as we watch the unfolding of the very imperfect Trump, I think it is worthy to note, that his agenda, his heart, in all that is Trump, is working toward the benefit of anti-Communism, and the freeing of an enslave nation.

 

US Trade Deficit: Began absolute tanking in 1992.  The Billy Years.

As of 2009, US school performance lagged in 29thplace behind Latvia, Korea, Brazil and Chile…

Only 14-15% of US students even enroll to college

It is projected that the cost of a US MBA will rise by 400% between now and 2021.

Since 1980, the cost of one year of college in the US has risen by 600%.

Wile looking’ at the value added of a college education in the US, the statistics show a declining curve.

The bottom line is a system that is rapidly nearing complete implosion, while advocating for greater implosion…   It is such a disservice to our youth and yet, the same Hollywooders and Politicians who create this chaos, do have an agenda.  But it isn’t the benefit of our next generation, it is the systemic fall of society in the US and the EU so as to reinvent Communism as the ‘savior’.

 

 

“Buyer Beware”.

“Ostrich with your head in the sand – Beware”.

Obama’s State of the Union Address: Bridging the Gap

Posted on by Helena

It’s always interesting to read the perceptions of other people writing about the same event. Especially when those people are writing from a different country. Often, Americans are hauntingly laughed at for being ignorant about what is real and what is fabricated, but I would contend that the fabrications have reached their tentacles overseas.

An Irish news reporter commenting on Obama’s legacy and his final state of the union address, revealed an odd view of his accomplishments and failures, as well as an interesting view of what she perceives to be the desires of the American people.

According to her perception, Obama is unilaterally responsible for making community college education affordable in the US. He takes responsibility for turning around the economy, for strict environmental regulations, Obamacare, and same sex marriage. And while Obama focused on a positive approach, it was more like a resume builder for supreme leader of the UN, than a true account of his internship as President.

Education?  The US education system is considered to be in crisis. Obama has made no impact on education whatsoever – and certainly has not made it more affordable. Community colleges have always been more affordable than private or public universities!  Stating that fact, does not mean Obama has created that reality…  College debt in the US has risen to an all time high of $1.2 trillion, with upwards of 67% in default! The interest rate on student debt ranges from 4.29% to 6.84% for 2015-2016. That’s higher than car loans and mortgage rates. And with jobs unavailable for graduates, paying the debt is simply not conceivable.

Unemployment? There are essentially six different measurements of unemployment. One of the measures was created around 1995 and sought to be all inclusive. At it’s starting point, it measured an unemployment rate of about 12 ½%. It declined to roughly 8% in 2008 and shot up to over 18% in 2010 before beginning its descent once again to its present level of about 13%. There is no world standardized method of determining the unemployment rate, so it is a waste to make a comparison.

Environment? The EPA has caused some of the worst disasters it is tasked with deterring. The Colorado Rive Animas disaster, and the Georgia cotton mill disaster were just two that occurred in 2015. Add to the disasters, the current methane expulsion that continues to destroy the air in southern California which is slated to be worse than Chernobyl, and we have a rather different perspective. There was the billions of toxic wastewaters that were injected into California’s aquifers in 2014 and an LA neighborhood that tested positive for toxic levels of hazardous lead poisoning. Just to name a few…  Instead – we focus on ‘climate change’.

Obamacare? Well let’s look at Kaiser, given their transparency. In 2009, they reported that the cost of healthcare had risen 131% in the previous decade at which time a family plan cost an employer $13,375 – with deductibles ranging from -0- to $1000. In 2015, Kaiser stated that the average employer based plan cost $17,545 with out of pocket costs of $4955 to $6251. A total cost inflation of 65.5%. Hardly a success for the small businesses and individuals.

The economy? While the world experienced a derivatives fallout that killed the economy in 2009, the US GDP growth rate recovery has not been ‘stellar’, instead it continues to mangle out a 2.4 and 2.2 trend. In 2014, the US ranked 121st of 198 countries in GDP growth. African countries dominated with Libya, South Sudan and Gaza Strip at the bottom, -19.8 an all time blow. According to the IMF, the cumulative growth between 1990 and 2006, showed the US behind Taiwan, Singapore, Turkey, Korea, Israel, China, Ireland, India, Hong Kong and Australia.  Stellar?

Perceptions.

Obama may be trying to recreate history to write his own legacy, but the facts don’t support his assertions of grandeur. It is like a virtual reality wherein the Truth is obscured. But ultimately, virtual reality is turned off and the bleak gray of what we must face is crystal clear. If we pretend anything less, we do ourselves a disservice in not focusing on what needs fixing.

Positive thinking has its place, as long as that place is grounded in Truth and Reality.

Obama’s Alliance Foundation – A Blunder of Racism

Posted on by Helena

A new, old organization is being tauted by Obama and his contingent of keepers; Bloomberg and Soros. It’s called the new and improved My Brother’s Keeper Alliance. Because the old one didn’t take. Backed by $80 million – to start – it can’t lose… or can it?

What happened to the Foundation he started in 2014?

Obama is focused on the; ‘tragic history in the US which makes it tougher for some to succeed…” History? I am a woman. We were property in history. White men were persecuted in the UK for their faith and banished. White men were ostracized for their debt and imprisoned, only to be shipped to Australia. History? I’m sorry, but history is over. The reason certain minorities succeed and other’s fail has been proven over and over again – family.

His new and improved foundation uses the acronym – MBK. But when I looked it up, MBK already exists and has since 1999. It too is a nonprofit 501(c)(3). It’s logo and site are copyrighted. It’s purpose is to help minorities who have health issues they need to overcome. Initially, HIV was the focus.

There would appear to be a copyright infringement here…

Obama’s site was uploaded in 2015. It’s aim focus’s exclusively on men and boys – no women allowed club. It is exclusive to boys of color, so whites are specifically excluded. I went through the website and still could not find exactly what they do. They have ‘documents’ posted online that encourage businesses to hire ‘men of color’. And they ask for donations. I just don’t see what they do with the money except maybe write more PR documents.

I have a background in business and generally when one launches a new business there is a past, a track record, and a business plan of ‘action’. But this Alliance has none of this – no history, no proven track record, and no plan of action. They just want – money because the $80 million has vanished?

Playing with the statistics: In 2013, about 40 percent of whites between the ages of 25 and 29 had a bachelor’s degree or more, compared to about 20 percent of blacks, 15 percent of Hispanics and 58 percent of Asians, according to data from the Current Population Survey. Blacks make up 12% of the US population. Given these stats, 20% of the 12% should be represented in businesses – 2.4%.

So let’s take a look at the NFL: Of the 175 cornerbacks in the league, 170 are black. At running back, 107 of the 120 players are African-American. White players account for 27.7 percent of the NFL rosters.

In the NBA, 35.7% of all professional employees are people of color. But wait – only 12% of the US population is black, therefore whites are unjustly discriminated against in this venue. And 47% of head coaches are people of color. In the category of players, the discrimination gets even greater – 76% of all NBA players are African-American.

Does this mean we must require the NBA and NFL to alter their drafts so as to be less discriminatory?

No. Forcing coaches to hire more whites from a pool of applicants knowing that it could cost them the championship, is absurd. Forcing businesses to hire blacks from a pool of applicants when the qualifications are non-existent, is absurd. Every time we make ‘race’ the problem, we are creating the problem. It is not about race, it is about poverty and education. It is about family and values.

You can’t lift people out of poverty without education. You can’t lift people out of anger and crime when the value system of the family does not exist.

Statistics also don’t measure a person’s heart. For example, my ex-husband’s sister was a verifiable brainiac. She got a very prestigious degree from Stanford. She ‘chose’ to use that degree to teach high school. Income, for her, was not a measure of success. For her, teaching was the success.

Look no further for an example of minority success than to Asians in the US. They have a divorce rate of about 8-10% compared to African-Americans who have a significantly higher divorce rate as well as a significantly higher rate of children born out of wedlock. (And before you go there – no, the solution is not more condoms.) Asians have a lower unemployment rate – even compared to whites. They have the highest rate of income and education of any racial group in the US. Their value structure is about family, provision, and education. It works.

The solution is education. Education in school, but also education about values, morality, marriage, parenting and ethics. It is not about forcing businesses to hire a person based on race. It is about bringing everyone to the line of ability.

So what is the focus of this new and improved Foundation? Division. Race. Gender. Hardly a promotion of anything of value.
