As president of USA, I will see enacted my clipper ship building program, this, inspite of the arrogant labor unions fronting special in trysts along with all that Liberian flagged soft money, also opposed.
Our goal is to build a fleet of clipper ships, 10,000 ships strong, with software controlled sails, to carry our exports all over the world. Everything in our stores, made in America, we export. We export Kool-aid, soap, tooth paste, all the everyday plentiful goods we take for granted: cooking oil, grains, computers, and software. Whatever you see for sale on our shelves, we sell world wide. The most famous russian inventor known to man, when I was 10 years old, fifty-six years ago, was a USSR fellow named Reguspatoff. Reg US Pat Off. His name was stamped on everything. America leads the world. Building 10,000 clipper ships, wherever there is water, and people need work, will create, over a period of a few years, 5 million good unskilled, and semi-skilled jobs, leading to better, fully skilled jobs! Not all of our citizens dream of operating a computer, writing software, and going online. For lots of folks, a decent paying job, where they lurn on the job, and can upgrade to semi and fully skilled labor, as carpenters, plumbers, and electricians, using their hands, is for them, a great trade and a dream come true. College "stew dense" ("dent" is singular), will pay reduced tuition, and get their under grad edu, while sailing the ships as co-ed crew. So the ships won't cost to operate, even when sailing light. Undergraduate 101 courses are infamous for their giant impersonal lecture halls, with grad students teaching, so course work on video tape, or digitized, on muscular workstation computers, with wireless access to internet, and libraries online, or on dvd will do just fine, and the students will see the world, and get a genuine lived-on sense of our good ship mother earth. The ships will pay for their building, carrying cargo! Some of this shipyard money will come from University Endowments, absent the bully pulpit, that also by Executive Order. Funds might also materialize on Wall Street, with or without federal government backing. How did the Dutch do it a couple three hundred years ago? This is a giant jobs program that will put our people to work!!! The 10,000 clipper ship advantage, in a WTO free trading world is clear. We can say to all of our trading partners, world wide, we welcome your exports to United States. Our only request (diplomatese for requirement), is that your exported goods come to America on our ships, at negotiated f.o.b charges both sides can live with. In the event the world grain markets are depressed, with our export grains going on our clipper ships, we can adjust the shipping charges to protect our farmers. Certainly WalMart and K-Mart can say to their Chinese suppliers, that their next boatload of shoes and pants are to be loaded on our clipper ship fleet, waiting in the harbor. As president, by Exeutive Order, all the people languishing in jail because of drug violations, related to marijuana, are going to be pardoned. This clipper ship program needs to be in place so there are potential jobs waiting for these people! Muhammed Ali is my first choice for Vice President. But Muhammed Ali suffers from Parkinson's disease and would more than likely reject the draft for the vice-presidency. Barky Obama is my 2nd choice for Vice President. In the event the American people draft Muhammed Ali to at least be an Ambassador-at-Large, then as Ambassador, whatever country Ali visits, all the people there will want to purchase everything with Ali's image stamped above the line 'Made in America.' Once upon a time we were a great seafaring nation. We must become a great seafaring nation again. Our clipper fleet should also include 20 non-nuclear submarines, for ocean research, on duty in the shipping corridors where speed boat pirates ply the waters. The ship's crews ought to also include a few youngsters integtrated who are uneducated; kids who were raised in rough neighborhoods, and who may have already done time, and may even be paroled to the ship, for a chance at a better life. The college kids can teach these underpriviledged, gone wrong kids, reading, and writing, and all the basic skills they missed, growing up, before they turned to crime and got caught. In the event a fleet of twenty clippers around Indonesia is under attack, and there are at least forty speedboats coming, and one of our research atomic subs is an hour away, these hard knock toughs are my selected crew members who can handle the 50 caliber super high power sniper guns, tow missles, and grenade launchers issued from the Captain's locker. Fear not any bad guys on the open sea. Notwithstanding the myriad of independent, small non-union maritime related businesses, sail makers and the like, who will all enjoy excellent, healthy growth from this clipper ship plan, the top heavy democrat unions will oppose this clipper shipping program because they want the status quo: to keep tight their skilled labor supply and demand, in their prevailing, overpriced skilled labor pool. Relative to our labor unions, having been a member in good standing, in the Seafarers International Union, for nearly a decade, best I quote my old shipmate long lost friend, the bots'n Arthur Harrington, of Boston, about the unions, "...used to be in this country, a workin' stiff could say, they give me a job to do, and I stand behind them." Nowadays they say, "They give me a job to do, but I hired them."
By Executive Order, all the paper used by the federal government, and all the clothing worn by the military, shall be produced from industrial hemp, grown in America. The update Reform of our Federal Reserve System, those conservative measures that should at least be looked at, will be presented on another page in this site. I hold the view, in light of the history of our money, that we should have two varieties: one variety, illustrated above, is a Silver Certificate, that should be reproduced on long life hemp paper, especially for redistribution by the ship's crews in the third world, when the crews go ashore to make micro-economic business with the unemployed underpaid masters of hand made goods in the third world country they are visiting. The other variety of dollar is the dollar as commodity, where a trillian dollars are wire transferred overnight. These dollars should be equally backed, but Federal Reserve Notes. One is a modicum of eggs change, used in the everyday conduce of affairs by the lowly workin' folk who live close to the ground. The other, Federal Reserve Note, is for high wire transfer.
The clipper ship program, besides enriching the third world peoples, in their own countries, by bringing Silver backed dollars into their poor communities, in exchange for hand made goods to fill out a return cargo, will also pick up the shortfall in our domestic lumber industry. |
