This obtuse explanation from Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen about the April jobs report is one for the record books. According to Yellen, the government handing people more free money than they would achieve with a working job is not a disincentive for employment.
To prove her case she cites the hospitality industry hiring people in April. However, what Yellen doesn’t figure into her bizarro logic is that all sectors in all states are not created equal. Yes, the statistics of “sector analysis” apply across the entire nation; however, the underlying economic activity is not equally distributed.
Blue states are more economically closed than red states. The job gains are in the states where the economic activity is strongest and the incentives for workers are the biggest. The lack of people working is disproportionately happening in the blue states where dependency models are strongest. WATCH this nonsense:
.
These bureaucrats don’t have a lick of common sense. According to Secretary Yellen’s logic, there are times when water is not lacking dryness.
The Cloward Piven strategy is now in full overdrive.
This!
No Doubt!
“Cloward and Piven’s article is focused on forcing the Democratic Party, which in 1966 controlled the presidency and both houses of the United States Congress, to take federal action to help the poor. They stated that full enrollment of those eligible for welfare “would produce bureaucratic disruption in welfare agencies and fiscal disruption in local and state governments” that would: “…deepen existing divisions among elements in the big-city Democratic coalition: the remaining white middle class, the working-class ethnic groups and the growing minority poor. To avoid a further weakening of that historic coalition, a national Democratic administration would be constrained to advance a federal solution to poverty that would override local welfare failures, local class and racial conflicts and local revenue dilemmas.”[2]”

the cloward-piven strategy was to cause a revolution by over loading the welfare system. the two communist columbia university professors hoped that by overloading the welfare system it would cause people to revolt when they didn’t get their welfare check. it was implemented by the creation of the welfare-rights movement by black civil-rights leaders, most prominently jesse jackson and james farmer. it didn’t succeed in causing a revolution but it definitely helped to destroy the black family. and cloward and piven, those two communists didn’t care one iota about poor people. all the poor were to them was a weapon to use to cause their glorious communist revolution.
Correct. As such it would be so easy for all hard working Americans to drop to our knees, throw up our hands and scream to the sky “make it stop”.
We are not those people! We never have been, never will be and will go down swinging against the Marxists. For it is Our Country that is at stake. We will not give up and we will not give in to the mediocrity of the tyrannical.
They say the most dangerous person in the room is the one sitting in the back observing the chaos before them. Ever calculating, running multiple scenarios, staying out in front waiting for the appropriate time to respond. For now, be that person.
We are Americans!
Yes, keep your head on straight when everyone else around you is losing theirs.
Cloward-Pivens runs parallel with Saul Alinsky “Rules for Radicals” and “The Communist Manifesto” (Marx/Engels).
Relying on Wikipedia as a source is similar to applying lipstick on a pig. Try this explanation of Cloward-Piven’s –

Thanks for that post. Excellent!
Obama picked her and he studied at Cloward and Piven’s feet….
These Demo-commie-fascists must have courses in how to speak Commie speak……word salad, garbled, talking without saying anything, does not make sense, gobbledygook BS.
Wise suspicious cat, what planet is Yellen from?. Cats know that China study of faces can count on corruptible people who have one side of their lip curl up mainly while speaking which denotes ‘talking out of the sides of their mouth. ‘ slippery speech.’Check out all the people that talk with a curl one side lift . Love that wise cat.
That the way elites always act. If you lose a job paying $75K a year you can always get a job selling burgers.
Who’s lost touch with reality? Janet Yellen, the Mad Hatter of the JoeBama administration.
She and Anita Dunne of the pierced tongue. Don’t forget Anita. Mao and St. Mother Teresa are her heroes. Hint: only one fits the bill.
The socialist’s torch of their American dream has been perpetually burning for decades- dumb em’ down and make them lazy. Determined to subjugate us, weaponizing Covid is their nihilism du jour to erode and circumvent anything constructive and independent from government. Their schtick has always been about disincentivizing the masses and deflecting their oppressive agendas. Unfortunately, many still wear blindfolds, but such willful ignorance won’t shield them from obliteration either.
kf, Your post is right on. So when do we start the obliteration program? I think I need an upgrade…maybe some Envoy hardware? Or just a few carbon bombs.
Oops, I hear a knockin……
I know the one thing which affects everyone is “pain”. IMO, even the blind are starting to see “there is something wrong about the Biden Presidency”. However, “if I just ignore it maybe it will just go away”?
There is a number of things which can cause universal pain. However, the quickest one would be a steep Stock Market decline. This will adversely affect everyone who has a retirement program.
What surprised me today was the Stock Market went up 300-points despite very negative economic reports. I have been around this stuff for a very long time and I found this extremely unusual.
My first reaction was the Central Bank and the US Treasury are purposely manipulating the Stock Market up despite what would normally be a big down day. If in fact this is the case by the Central Bank and US Treasury, how long can they artificially control the Stock Market in this fashion?
What I witnessed to today seems very scary; Both the Stock Market reaction and the Janet Yellen speech. Yes folks, “Something doesn’t seem right”.
The anemic jobs report supports the Fed keeping interest rates effectively at zero. I wasn’t surprised to see the market up. I too watch it daily, trading weekly, and have been for a few decades now
See that buck in your wallet?
The fed reaches in and snips it when it feels compelled to make you work harder. Your counterparty won’t accept payment of most of a dollar, so you have to add a few cents to make that buck worth what it was when you earned it.
Why would anyone want to manipulate the value of money?
Well, those who want what they want without working, of course. The governing class is a freeloading society. Manipulating you to give them currency with which they can buy your labor and produce is a nifty trick. Did you really get compensation when they paid you your buck back for a buck’s worth of work?
Sits sits on her fat ass for 8 years under O’Blamer, not raising interest rates, then as soon as Trump arrives, up we go. I truly despise these Global World Order commies, especially the retread fools from the incompetent O’Blamer regime. Disgusting.
AOC says the reason unemployment is rising is because people are only working in one job instead of three.
To the terminally deluded crazy makes perfect sense.
They must really think the sheeple are stupid to believe this horse pucky. Oh wait nobody is listening.
“These bureaucrats don’t have a lick of common sense. ”
Oh, they sure do, from their wicked, communist POV. They want complete dependency on the government. Once they have that, and disarm the population (you want the government to pay for you, you have to give up your firearms), they own the country, individualism is the first thing to go. That is their goal, their mantra.
I am surprised how easy it is to get people to comply to the “Jab”. I have very conservative friends who have taken the “Jab” who I never dreamed would take it. They took the “Jab” not so much because they believed in its medical benefits, but because they wanted to do things they thought the “Jab” would allow them to do what they wanted to do; such as board an airliner.
Yes, and they’re so happy and proud to have done it! I had one lady, a pharmacist tell me she, “did it for people like you!” What an insult! My body, my choice worked so well for the screaming feminists.

You know, I have better things to do than to write good comments that never get published because they are eternally “waiting for approval”.
Angel… The first part of your email address was a match with someone who is on our blocklist. That’s why you were getting held up. I made a few tweaks to the list, and your future comments should not be getting held up. Fingers crossed.
AngelArtiste, I’m sorry, you may be a lovely person and quite wise in the ways of commenting, but this here comment comes across as condescending. As Ad rem has tweaked a few things, I can assure you that we await with baited breath, the good comments that you shall spew forth ad nauseum and we shall be quite joyful in the reception of such! Please allow me to fetch a carbonated hops based beverage before doing so. I thank you in advance! BD (Am I going into time out Ad rem?) 😉
No way….especially if you bring me a carbonated hops based beverage as well. 😀
Sounds like she has early Alzheimers to be honest
its not their fault, its all the raisians’ fault
I somewhat agreed with her. Because if you think about it, chickens don’t eat raw onions.
First our elected representatives create a crisis, then demand two weeks to flatten the infection curve, then pay you more than your employer, then null your voice stealing the election, then insure 1/3 of business are shuttered for a virus with a 99.97% survival rate, then demand you get an injection that federal government absolved of responsibility and not approved by the FDA.
This is tyranny on epic scale and beyond my understanding why we endure incompetent governance.
Does Fauci have a sister?
Yes. She’s in Pittsburgh gluing aborted baby SCALPS onto living rat hides. There was a story about this actually being an experiment at a university funded by the CDC. Grotesque and horrible. Fauci approved, of course.
This reconstituted hag from the Zero regime is beyond words. Her use of the word “sector” reminds me of commie talk. I won’t waste my time to watch her again. That she handles any taxpayer’s purse strings is beyond whatever pay grade she’s in. When you have no message of substance or authenticity, use your hands to distract the viewer, just like Pelosi and Psake.
Yes, Cloward and Piven. Glen Beck schooled us on that duo.
Folks, Yellen is to economics as Fauci is to medical science….
Being Treasury Sec. also does not mean you have a working brain
The hospitality industry in some areas is getting a boost from hotel vouchers being given to illegals.
A close relative of mine just traveled to a major midwestern city and said the hotel she booked was jammed with illegals checking in with vouchers.
Lying sack of bovine excrement, as ALL democrats have demonstrated, not lacking sense
Great interview yesterday with NY restaurant owner. He said pre Covid would get 20-30 apps for a job opening. Said he only got 3 now and none bothered to show for the hiring interview.
I noticed even much of the liberal business media yesterday pushing back on the idea that these payments do not affect the desire to work. A refreshing change from the usual support of anything the Biden team is pushing.
The rampant insanity flowing through daily life is becoming too heavy a burden..
From identifying gender, to justifying cheating in an election, to denying the current President is mentally deficient, to being told Iran and China are our friends, to being told a piece of paper on my nose protects me from a World-wide flu..
stop it, PLEASE stop it.
What Yellen is attempting to sell, is an economic perpetual motion machine, which violates the fundamental laws of this universe, just like all attempts at a physical perpetual motion machine cannot work due to the laws of thermodynamics and physics
… whatever Janet! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I’ve been around long enough (50’s) to figure out by myself what’s going on… and I’m sure not gonna go by what a lefty says! Especially not from THIS administration!
Based on the unknowing believing the unbelievable, I invite all so inclined to join me at a puddle of rainwater to witness the “spontaneous generation”
of tadpoles & frogs.
I feel sorry for Yellen. She knows to raise interest rates like what happened when Trump was president. That allowed the FED to cut when the virus hit and the economy was assassinated. Now the FED has no way to boot the economy other than free money like the 335% increase in the M1 money supply already in the last 12 months. NOT stimulus but life support! Credit card apps are at all time highs.
AND Yellen is supposed to be so smart? What happened to Brains in Leftists…I suppose all that Marxist BS crowded out the ability to think rationally!
Delusional Joe & Team are a BIG FAIL on jobs because they are focused on JABS NOT JOBS.
