We have had socialism since the 1930's,s tarting with Teddy Roosevelt's New Deal, then social security, then medicare in the 1960's. This new healthcare plan is pretty much just medicare for everybody, not just seniors.

[Several New Deal programs remain active, with some still operating under the original names, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC), the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). The largest programs still in existence today are the Social Security System, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Fannie Mae.] Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal Most others were released during the 1970's push for deregulation of the government. We are just working our way back up the ladder, so we can all prosper! ![]() ![]() If you thought that was socialism son, I would suggest some light reading on the topics of Marksizm, Progressive Movement, Socialism, etc. During the period from the 80's through the end of 90's, this country saw a huge amount of growth in private and public companies in all kinds of different sectors (mostly tech), that is not exactly the ideals of socialist reform. We are getting closer everyday, kind of. |

Most, not all, but most of the Laconia prison jobs were transfered to other prisons in the state. While it helped someone at the Laconia prison keep their job it caused some at other prisons in different counties to get the boot. They did not have as much time in. I know of 4 people personnally that fell to this fate out of the Concord prison.
One thing to note about Coos county is the closing of Ethan Allen in VT, inpacted a great number of people as well. The timber industry will cause a spike in the rate in the next two months because of mud season, the cost to put in proper EPA safeguards to protect seasonal streams and wet spots is higher than shutting down for a few weeks, so a quick spike will happen in the March and April numbers, of course if the mills start cutting back orders that will cause some holding of the elevated rate into the summer months. |
