Blackstone Code

Chapter 1677: interview

No problem arises by itself.

Whatever it is, there will always be a reason.

Even if it is the birth of life, there is an inevitable reason.

The same is true for voting on a proposal in Congress. In order for more senators to understand the content of the entire proposal, sufficient content must be prepared.

For example, "why are we launching this proposal" and "the need to launch such a proposal", sometimes it seems that these two questions are a little bit unwise.

Most people basically see the content of the proposal and can imagine why it was initiated.

But in a federation that emphasizes process, even if everyone knows why these things are being initiated, they still have to come in order.

Of course, this is also a necessary part of political transactions. If there is no so-called "process justice" and everything is not buffered, this country will become extremely bad!

It is precisely because of the necessity of the process, the buffers, and the political compromises and transactions that the federation looks so beautiful!

Someone once said something like this-

"Our beauty is only built on the corpses of some of our unseen victims..."

What he said might be a bit extreme, but at least he was right!

Just like the question facing John at this time, is he willing to stand up in front of the media, in front of the people, or even in Congress to represent a small group of people to fight for his own interests!

This choice is actually not a good choice. Standing in the spotlight can indeed become the focus and make people pay attention to those problems in him.

But at the same time, he will also become some "role models" and "targets".

The former is not terrible, but the latter is very annoying.

John thought for a while before making this seemingly stupid decision, "Yes, I do!"

His starting point is very simple. If he cannot be the representative person, then his problems may not be solved.

This is not some great wisdom, this is just a little cleverness at the bottom of the federal society.

A crying child can attract the attention of the nurse!

Maybe he will be retaliated against by some people, but he thinks the risk is worth it instead of enjoying the benefits brought by the social security system for life!

With the choice of John, and a few other smart people, the "Labor Daily" soon began to report on the proposal that Congress was submitting for review and vote.

Among them, the title "Amendment to the Federal Social Security System" was directly enlarged on the front page, and the first time the newspaper was released, it attracted the attention of the whole Federation!

This is a matter that concerns the vital interests of many people. Ninety-seven percent of the people are "ordinary people", and they all care about the approved free medical insurance and pensions.

It also includes some middle class.

Even Mr. Johnson, the former Sabine IRS chief with a similar name to John, was very concerned.

He bought the top grade, but in the supplementary content of this proposal, the standard for pension payment was mentioned, which also made him nervous.

After all, the child that Michael's wife gave him was about to start elementary school, and he planned to send the child to a private school.

Even if the school will give his children some scholarships, it is still a heavy burden.

If his pension is cut, he may change plans.

While the report of the "Gongbao" aroused heated discussions in the society, Mr. Truman was also reading the newspaper.

The newspapers cite examples from all over the country of people with not only detailed names, home addresses, and social security information and the like, but what actually happened to them.

Everyone's happiness is different, but their sadness is highly consistent!

Mr. Truman looked at the cases of these people, as if John was the more representative one.

It has not been two years since the Federal Great Depression. During the Great Depression, the unemployment rate soared, for example, the unemployment rate in some areas was as high as 20% or more!

This is not a general and simple calculation that only one of the five people is unemployed. After removing the unsuitable employed population, it can be said that out of the 60 million federal people, about 42 million are currently unemployed!

Only over 18 million people have jobs!

It's not that one out of five people doesn't have a job!

It's that out of five people, only one has a job, and then that person has to feed the other five **** people!

In such an environment, it is very normal to stop paying social security funds. In addition, the Federal Social Security Administration stipulates that only enterprises that pay taxes to the federal government are eligible to pay social security funds for their employees.

There were too many people who stopped paying in those years, and this is indeed a very urgent problem that needs to be solved.

Like other people, they are also very representative. For example, some people cannot continue to work due to work-related injuries.

Since he can't work, his idea of ​​continuing to pay social security has also failed, which means that this person in the newspaper is already in deep despair!

Once he and his family lost their source of income, or he was abandoned by his family, the only thing waiting for him was to become a marginal member of society.

Homeless, beggars, and possibly dying on the streets.

The weak ties between Commonwealth families can sometimes allow them to do terrible things, such as children not supporting their elders and things like that.

This is a common occurrence for federal families who "get along with family as friends."

Everyone who stands out is very representative and very topical.

Mr. Truman looked at the newspaper and wondered if he could find something useful in it.

If it is said that before he talks to Lynch, he will not consider using the strength of the Socialist Party and the workers' union to become his own help and promote the passage of the proposal.

Then Lynch's words made him truly understand what politics is!

Politics is about uniting all who can help you!

They may be good and bad, but they are all the same when it comes to being their own helpers.

Using the power of unions to do good deeds for the working class, Mr. Trueman will not feel that his conscience is in trouble!

Thinking of this, he pressed the blue button on the phone, which led to the secretariat. "If someone from the workers' union or the socialist party calls or wants to visit me, don't stop them."

"Yes, Mr. President, I see..."

Releasing the button, Mr. Trueman looked at the newspaper in his hand, then threw him to the corner of the table.

Every day someone will come to clean up that piece of files, they will be shredded by a shredder, then split and packaged, and then thrown out!

Yes, the debris is divided into two bags and processed through two waste systems, no easy task if someone wants to collect them!

Mr Truman thought the trade unions would come soon, but he clearly miscalculated the determination of the Socialist Party leaders to use this to increase the influence of the Socialist Party.

He needs to wait for the situation to continue to ferment, and when the demands of the working class are stronger, he will appear in an image of "bearing all the hopes and futures of the working class".

It's a bit of a shame, but it's part of the nature of politics.

Politicians not only have good acting skills, but also need to be able to read the script and add drama to themselves appropriately!

This is the real actor!

It took only four days from the publication of the news in Gong Daily until the public opinion was completely ignited.

Almost all TV stations and media are reporting on these things, and it has become a hot topic among the whole people.

No way, it is related to everyone's life, and the future life!

The gentlemen in Congress also felt the heavy pressure from the society. They even took the initiative to ask Mr. Williams when he would be free for the second hearing!

It was at such a time that the leader of the Socialist Party volunteered to meet Mr. Truman in private, not the kind of public meeting in the presidential palace where he walked into the presidential office in front of many people.

It's private and not known to anyone!

They met in a villa on the outskirts of a large area.

There are two swimming pools, one is the front yard swimming pool, the more common kind of square swimming pool, maybe it is a bit old-fashioned, but all the federal front yards are such swimming pools.

In the backyard, there is also a larger, multi-level free-form swimming pool.

In addition to this there are basketball and tennis courts, and a running track that runs around the entire villa!

The runway is covered with the latest rubber pellets, which are expensive.

A lot of flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the road, and there are special people to take care of it. It can be seen that the owner has taken great care of it!

This is the villa of the leader of the Socialist Party, but he doesn't come here very often, and he plans to move there when he retires.

Before that ~lightnovelpub.net~ he would live in a middle-class neighborhood, and he didn't want to be separated from the working class in terms of his life.

At this time, it was very quiet here, and there were not many people disturbing it. There were many plants in the courtyard, and a special gardener took care of it, which made Mr. Truman feel very comfortable.

The scent of those flowers when you breathe, along with the sun just entering the summer, the whole world becomes light and lively.

The pale yellow flowers are dotted among the green vegetation, and the vigor of all things is vividly expressed by the simple picture at this moment!

The two sat on the open-air rattan chairs. Judging from the style of its weaving, it should have come from Nagalil.

The handmade products of Nagalil are changing towards the direction of boutique, and the capitalists of the Commonwealth understand the mentality of consumers.

Rather than asking them to spend 5 yuan for an ordinary rattan chair, more people are willing to spend 50 yuan to buy a pair of "arts" that are touted as "handicraft practitioners' masterpiece"!

The two of them didn't speak at this time, just sat quietly, brewing something...
