50 YEAR OLD CARTOON PREDICTS THE FUTURE
George Washington
Amongst the motives to such an institution, the assimilation of the principles, opinions, and manners of our countrymen by the common education of a portion of our youth from every quarter well deserves attention.
The more homogenous our citizens can be made in these particulars the greater will be our prospect of permanent union; and a primary object of such a national institution should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic what species of knowledge can be equally important and what duty more pressing on its legislature than to patronize a plan for communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?
Teddy Roosevelt
We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an
American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin.
But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American.
American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin.
But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American.
If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one sole loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people.
92 Million Work-Eligible Americans Are Now Out Of The Labor Force: 14 Million More Than When Obama Took Office
The April jobs reports again have completely opposite conclusions. The Establishment Survey reports a high 288,000 increase in total non-farm employment, heavily seasonally adjusted; the unadjusted figures show 2.2 million more employment than one year ago, which is only slightly higher than the last 12 months, which have been at 2.1 million. Average weekly wages reported up by just 0.1%. The Household Survey reports the opposite: a huge net exit from the labor force of just under 1 million in April (-988,000), with the labor force participation rate dropping by 0.4% to 62.8%, both official employment and unemployment falling, the total labor force shrinking by 806,000, and the official unemployment rate dropping by 0.4% to 6.3%. Roughly three-quarters of a million people who reported themselves unemployed a month ago are now out of the labor force. The number of people flowing into the labor force to seek work was at its lowest level since 2008 — many more people than usual decided to stay on the sidelines — and their number was overwhelmed by those leaving. Since these reports really fluctuate, its more meaningful to say that all the claimed increases in the labor force since December, were essentially wiped out. There are now 92 million work-eligible Americans out of the labor force, and this is 14 million more than when Obama took office.
