The objectives of this plan include:
58.4 Actions Providing Employment Opportunities
58.4.1 Accomplishing the UN SDGs and Targets and the Target Action Plans in particular: TAP #25 Decrease The Rate and Degree of Climate Change and Mitigate its Adverse Effects.
58.4.2 Primarily Providing Affordable Necessities and Needs for a Decent Life for all Humankind Now and in the Future:
58.4.2.1 Providing Public services. Rehire firemen, teachers, aides, social workers and other personnel who have been cut and hire additional personnel needed to restore and maintain vital services including: electricity, natural gas, police, fire safety, pubic transportation, highways/roads maintenance, public health, education, etc.
58.4.2.2 Providing Comprehensive healthcare and long term care as part of a nationwide medicare (single payer) program
58.4.2.2.1 Provide nationwide comprehensive, universal medicare, physical, dental, mental health care, pharmaceutical and long term care (LTC) for all to be delivered by public and private resources under a streamlined medicare system. According to a report by California Nurses Association, single payer /medicare healthcare for all would:
58.4.2.2.1.1 Create about 2,613,495 million new permanent, good-paying jobs
58.4.2.2.1.2 Boost the economy with $317 billion in increased business and public revenues
58.4.2.2.1.3 Add $100 billion in employee compensation
58.4.2.2.1.4 Infuse public budgets with $44 billion in new tax revenues
58.4.2.2.2 On case by case basis, make hospitals like Walter Reed (which was wrongfully closed) and other city, county, state and federal hospitals/clinics and community health centers into government owned, not for profit contractor operated (GOCO) Medicare/Medicaid, hospitals/clinics that educate, train and qualify doctors, nurses, dentists, nurses aids and other health care personnel.
58.4.2.2.3 Build 1000 new modern hospitals and clinics equipped with the latest technology
58.4.2.2.4 Pay family, friend and professional care-givers who are taking care of disabled, mentally retarded or elderly needing long term care.
58.4.2.2.5 Ramp up the public health system to address drug addiction as a serious national health problem rather than a moral and criminal one. Reduce both federal and state government costs by ending the drug war. Decriminalize nonviolent drug offenses and empty our prisons of nonviolent drug offenders. (Please note, this is not the same as "legalizing" illegal drugs nor should this approach fail to protect the public from aberrant behavior)
58.4.2.3 Affordable housing. Build, rehabilitate or otherwise obtain about 2.8 million well insulated, fire protected homes to provide affordable housing for low income and homeless people in particular in inner cities and in suburbs near passenger rail and metro lines. Learn more about this from the National Housing Trust Fund website.
58.4.2.4 Nutritious tasty food primarily provided locally through cooperative community efforts that bring locally grown produce to the closest local markets. See LocalHarvest.org for details.
58.4.2.5 Publicly supported, quality universal pre-k through college and vocational training for life. College education, comprehensive vocational training and lifetime learning.
58.4.2.5.1 Paid jobs for students in vocational training in high schools to maintain their schools, for coop jobs in garages, electronics shops, recycling centers, stores and on farms to help avoid drop outs.
58.4.2.6 Clean water and air. Enhanced, clean up and environmental protection of our water, air, wetlands, watersheds, rivers, creeks, lakes, dams, levees, aquifers, water works, wastewater and hazardous waste systems.
58.4.2.8 Modern, repaired and retrofitted infrastructure in all categories and in particular those designated by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ACSE) quadrennial report card on the U.S. infrastructure:
58.4.2.8.1 Surface Transportation
58.4.2.8.2 Water/Wastewater Infrastructure
58.4.2.8.3 Electricity
58.4.2.8.4 Airports
58.4.2.8.5 Inland Waterways & Marine Ports
58.4.2.8.6 Dams
58.4.2.8.7 Hazardous & Solid Waste-Recycle / Disposal
58.4.2.8.8 Levees
58.4.2.8.9 Public Parks & Recreation
58.4.2.8.10 Rail
58.4.2.8.11 Schools
This work will provide an estimated average of 10 million new jobs for years.
58.4.2.9 Social services. Comprehensive restorative justice, counseling, mentoring, educating, training, group therapy and providing employment opportunities.
58.4.2.10 Clean, sustainable, alternative fuel and energy sources including: solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, ocean thermal conversion (OTC) and VIVACE (vortex induced vibration aquatic clean energy) a new technology that generates clean and renewable energy from currents in waterways and oceans.
58.4.2.11 Rail based transportation/transit system for all. Build a low carbon emission, integrated, comprehensive public transportation/transit systems that includes:
58.4.2.11.1 Light rail mass transit systems in all large and medium sized cities in particular along existing right of ways and beltway where possible
58.4.2.11.2 Clean, energy-efficient buses for rural areas and suburban areas.
58.4.2.11.3 Highspeed regular, intercity monorail and magnetic levitation rail
58.4.2.11.4 Bike/walking paths and overpasses.
58.4.2.11.5 Bus lanes.
Note: Light rail can be built at 1/5th the cost of deadly toll roads. A highway vehicle would need to get over 300 miles to the gallon to use energy as efficiently as a train.
58.4.2.12 Modern, new and retrofitted schools, public buildings, hospitals and libraries, hardened against fire, earthquakes, high winds and climate-change using:
58.4.2.12.1 Energy conservation and technologies and methodologies: improve insulation, replace inefficient heating and cooling systems, water heaters and lighting, remove/contain lead paint and asbestos.
58.4.2.12.2 Improve passive and active fire protection technologies and methodologies
58.4.2.13 Rebuilt or relocated neighborhoods and areas damaged by hurricanes, tornados, floods, earthquakes and other disasters.
58.4.2.14 Protection against wild fires:
58.4.2.14.1 Convert existing surplus aircraft to firefighting aircraft and build new firefighting aircraft. This work should employ modern technologies such as stir welding of aluminum. These firefighting aircraft could be equipped with the latest technology such as night vision, GPS, all weather capability, sophisticated digital sensors and communications and the precision containerized aerial delivery (PCAD) firefighting system.
58.4.2.15 New and modernized libraries in particular in rural communities.
58.4.2.16 A “truly universal, accessible, high-speed broadband internet” as recommended by Charles Ferguson in his book Predator Nation - Corporate Criminals, Political Corruption, and the Hijacking of America.
58.4.2.17 Services to Repair, rebuild, recycle, reuse and/or compost everything and eliminate garbage dumps.
As posted at the University of Georgia’s Cooperative Extension website:
Each year, Americans generate millions of tons of waste in our homes and communities. There are many ways you can produce less waste and use fewer resources. You can:
Reduce – Buy fewer products. When you purchase items select those with less packaging and buy green or reusable products.
Reuse – Choose products with a longer life or those you can reuse or re-purpose.
Recycle – Instead of throwing things in the landfill, recycle bottles, cans, paper, electronics, food scraps and yard waste.
"If it can't be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled or composted then it should be restricted, redesigned or removed from production." ~ Ecology Center, Berkeley
58.4.2.18 Completion of the backlogs of work in watersheds, national, state, and local parks and U.S. forests
58.4.2.19 Expanded recreational, sports, cultural, music, theater and art programs.
58.4.2.20 Reduced degree of climate change and mitigated Impacts
58.4.2.21 Retooled factories, in particular those in the defense industries to build rail, rail cars, electric cars and buses, renewable energy sources, health care technologies and other items needed for all the above.
58.4.2.22 Workers for outsourced jobs brought back to the U.S.
