The ,"Truth", was written in the Fifties in a book called the, "War Babies." The problem then, same as now, was that there was a disproportionate amount of children born, a double amount from the previous years, for a period lasting twenty years. The result for those who starting first grade through High school, we were never in a school that was not being built, or added to. Our Senior Graduation numers were three times the size of the previous years Class of '64'.

Going to College in Ashland, Oregon, the previous years four year sstudent body was a total of 1250+. 2,400+ Freshman came in the Fall of sixty five. We were placed in Hotels, mtels, had classses on lawns, in gyms, basements, anywhere you could gather a hundred to two hundred sudents for a lecture. We didn't think of it as odd, as from the Fist Grade on, our Class sizes were between forty and fifty students.

Back to the Book,"War Babies". What it fortold, acutally happened. With such a large amount of people entering the 'Job Market" between 1965 and 1969, there were no jobs! Period! There was Vietnam for those who couldn't go to College and for those who were done with College. But still no base jobs such as manufacturing to build services jobs on.

Now we have the same thing happening, except the number of Students is larger, due to the proportion of the 'Baby Boomers having children and Grand Children.

This time the Economy was based on house building, something that Alaska is very familiar with, known to them as the 5 to 7 year Boom and Bust Cycle. Things happen quicker there, but the same thing happened here! No more jobs in base manufacturing, no more service jobs! The Government knew it would happen, so they created edicts to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the Banks, basically saying, "Do not validate anything on anyone's credit application, or lose your FDIC!" Extended the time frame, such as Vietnam did, but that's all.

The facts are we need down to Earth, no , "Pie in the Sky", real jobs, here and right now! Jobs that are available immediately, without need of Fedueral Funding, or any Outside Nation's funding.

We need to say to the rest of the World, "Look, we produce less polution than the best of you could even dream of if you were to shut down. So we are going to keep on minig and using Coal. We are going to keep on drilling for and using OIL. We are going to keep on drilling for and using NATURAL GAS. We will build our own refineries and our own storage. We will sell to ourselve's first and cheaper than anyone else. We have always come to the aid of any Nation who was in need, yet few have ever come to ours. From now on, we help our friends only. The rest of you are on your on. Especially you Mexico! You have never come to the aid of anyone in the World. You just take and take, and blame everyone else for your problems. Well they are your problems, so you fix it! We are Americans and we take care of our own at ANY COSTS! Any costs. Any costs.
