Incomplete list of U.S. Federal/State/Local Government self-destruct announcements for June 2016:

Marketplace and Edison Research says their May polling shows 71% of U.S. workers believe the economy is rigged in favor of elites, and 55% believe threats to their employment are the result of elitist/government negotiated trade deals.  The analysts pointed out that the poll results were across the board; men, women, black, white, brown.

The Navajo Nation Council spending an additional $2-million USD to hire teenagers for the Summer. It’s an effort to combat crashing employment of teenagers across the U.S.

Circle of Blue reports that since 2010 there’s been an average increase of 48% in municipal water rates across the U.S., despite a 22% drop in residential water use since 1999! In other words, to make up for citizens actually conserving water (like they’ve been told to do, for decades) cities have lost money and are jacking up rates!

Financial website WalletHub says Mississippi has the worst economy in the United States, followed by Arkansas, Maine, New Mexico, Louisiana, Kentucky and Alabama. WalletHub based their results on analysis by six economists (not main stream media ‘analysts’ posing as economist).

Arizona: Due to a lack of $2-million USD in taxpayer funding (a sure sign of a failed economy) Maricopa County suddenly laid off 11 animal shelter employees: “….every year we have been drawing on that surplus. … There is nothing left.”-Melissa Gable, Animal Care and Control

California: Amazingly, and despite my continued reporting of massive layoffs across the Golden State, including the Bay Area, the UCLA Anderson Forecast claims that employment in the Bay Area is at full capacity! But wait, the term Full Employment is misleading, it does not mean everybody literally has a job, it means that everybody who wants a jobs and is willing to take whatever slave wage pay level is offered can ‘potentially’ become employed.

Delaware: It’s been revealed by a lawsuit launched by 21 states (Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia) that Delaware state administrators are in cahoots with MoneyGram, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, Western Union, Visa and MasterCard by illegally holding onto $150-million worth of yet-to-be-cashed checks (call it an ‘unclaimed funds’ scam) from customers across the U.S.: “This practice not only violates federal law but it’s wrong and unfair. The bottom line is simple: Delaware is ignoring federal law for financial gain.”-Ken Paxton, Texas Attorney General

Idaho: The Fire Chief of Chubbuck resigned in connection to the planned merger of the city of Chubbuck’s fire department with the city of Pocatello (both cities are dealing with cash problems despite continually telling the taxpayers the economy is good): “Whether the consolidation goes forward or not it’s not going to be affected by whom the chief is at the time.”-Joshua Ellis, Chubbuck city councilman

Speaking of Chubbuck and Pocatello, the county of Bannock made an appeal to property owners to pay their property taxes, warning of fines and interest charges. It sounded like the county is having problems with property tax collections, which would not be happening if the economy was good. I gotta message for Bannock County: “You can’t squeeze blood from a turnip.”

The Idaho Public Charter School Commission warning Syringa Mountain School of financial peril because state funding can’t come close to covering the charter school’s outrageous operating costs: “SMS’s financial position is extremely perilous. While fundraising efforts have met current cash flow needs, SMS has struggled with lack of funds periodically throughout its years in operation.”

Due to a lawsuit, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing its approval for the way Idaho measures toxic arsenic levels in water (the EPA’s decision to let Idaho ‘christian lawmakers’ ignore arsenic limit regulations seems to coincide with state ‘officials’ quietly allowing natural gas fracking operations). It sounds similar to what happened in Flint, Michigan: “EPA violated the Clean Water Act when it allowed arsenic levels in Idaho waters that are up to 1,000 times greater than the agency has determined are acceptable for this toxic chemical. EPA placed political expediency over human health protection.“– Nina Bell, Northwest Environmental Advocates

Illinois:  Rock Island County Health Department not only preparing for an act of terror (specifically they prepped for a biological attack) but preparing their employees for the elimination of 15 jobs due to crashing taxpayer funding.  Aurora Public Library eliminating a total of 31 jobs due to being in the hole by as much as $2-million USD. The library system will also reduce operating hours and shutdown their Express Center: “… if you don’t use it, you lose it! The numbers don’t lie.”-Tina Bohman, 1st Ward Alderman

Indiana: In Mishawaka, American Pancake House & Restaurant on Grape Road shutting down due to outrageously jacked rent and property tax!

Kentucky: Pike County eliminating at least 19 jobs due to being $4-million USD short for the 2016-17 fiscal year. As an example of what I call Ripple Effect Layoffs, it’s blamed on the crashing coal mining industry.

Maryland: It’s revealed that taxpayers are being forced to pay more than $320-million each year to shore up the state’s failed retirement system that is now tied to the volatile stock markets!

Massachusetts: The city of Boston Weak and the college of Babson announced they will create their own migrant ‘visa’ program to get around the federal H-1B! An unnamed ‘official’ connected to the scam flat out lied and said “It’s not like they’re taking jobs from Americans, they’re giving jobs to Americans.”  In Boston Weak, Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority pushing hundreds of employees to take buyouts, and eliminating vacant positions, in an effort to save $25-million USD in payroll.

Michigan: The residents of Flint already pay the highest water rates in the U.S., soon their rates will double due to the incompetence of past ‘elected lawmakers’. Rowe Professional Service says the cost of replacing the water system in Flint will be at least $214-million USD, and take 50 years to do it! The pissed-off Sheriff of Genesee County blames an incompetent authoritarian government for escalating violent crime through lead poisoning: “The crime rate in Flint, for the last 10 to 15 years has been high, number one per capita of violent crime… This crisis…wasn’t created by a natural disaster, people created it. They put dictators into Flint, they called them emergency managers. One of the emergency managers signed over the Flint River without all of the safeguards built in. Now they’re all pointing their fingers at each other, but the lesson has got to be that you cannot take government away from the people. ……this is America? We’re giving money to Iraq….Afghanistan and we’re not taking care of our own people, that’s bullshit!”–Robert J. Pickell, in the documentary Fighting for Flint

Mississippi: The state Department of Health warning of more layoffs due to taxpayer funding cut of $4-million USD: “Over the next several months, we will be also sending people home. We just don’t know how many people yet.”-Mary Currier, state health officer

New Jersey: The state is so broke that state retirement money will continue to be frozen at 2011 levels. Thank fat-ass Trump supporter Chris Christie for that. By the way, retirement funds, as well as social services are not ‘benefits’ because you freaking’ taxpayers paid for them already!

New York: The city of New York is spending $34-million USD creating 60-thousand busy work jobs for their Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) in an effort to combat crashing employment of teenagers. The city of Birmingham is using a measly $10-thousand USD in federal taxpayer grant money to combat crashing employment of teenagers considered ‘at risk’. The program is called Citizen U.   Experience Works issued a shutdown WARN for their Cortland Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), due to “lack of funding”.

Ohio: The city of Lorain notified 23 firefighters they will become unemployed due to the city being short $3.6-million USD. City administrators are trying to get a taxpayer funded grant from the federal government. The Mahoning County Children Services Board laying off 22 employees and shutting down the Glenwood group home due to lack of teenaged residents.

Oregon: Law firms (American Immigration Lawyers Association and American Immigration Council) in Oregon are suing the federal government over the H-1B program, not because H-1B is taking jobs from U.S. citizens but because their foreign clients were turned down for H-1B visas!   The state Office of Economic Analysis is warning that the soon to be increased state minimum wage (to $15 per hour) will end up killing 40-thousand jobs! Oregon has an official population of about 4-million, it’s a geographically large state with a population that’s half that of the evil Big Apple city of New York! Local news reports said that Oregon’s democrat controlled government passed the wage increase before the Office of Economic Analysis published their report: “While the impact is relatively small when compared to the size of the Oregon economy, it does result in approximately 40,000 fewer jobs in 2025 than would have been the case absent the legislation. Our office is not predicting outright job losses, however we are expecting somewhat slower growth. Low-wage workers receiving raises in the near term boost incomes. Over time, however, employers will adjust by increasing worker productivity, possibly via capital for labor substitutions.”–Oregon Economic and Revenue Forecast, June 2016

Pennsylvania: The tax hungry city of Philadelphia created a tax on soda, not just for so called ‘sugary’ soda (since the mid-1990s 90% of soda’s are made with GMO corn syrup + chemical sweeteners, not true sugar) but for ‘diet’ sodas as well! The tax goes into effect January 2017.

Puerto Rico: The U.S. territory in full blown death spiral as government debt is now more than $70-billion USD, taxes have been jacked by at least 15%, electricity rates could be jacked by 26% by 2017, and more than 400-thousand people have fled the island territory!  Catholic Charities says Puerto Ricans couldn’t pay their taxes or utilities before the rate hikes, so what are fearless leaders thinking by jacking up costs?

Tennessee: Bankrupt Pioneer Community Hospital of Scott County shutting down by the end of the month, because it could “no longer sustain the financial losses” caused by ObamaCare. The nearest hospital is now a 50 minute drive away.

Texas: Recently two people were convicted and sentenced to federal prison for seven years, for running an H-1B scam. They were falsifying H-1B documents to bring in migrants from India. An Indian news source stated the H-1B program was created “to create a low-cost workforce in the US.” This news came at the same time it was revealed the oil industry in Texas was employing thousands of people from around the world. The recent oil industry BS hit one Texas town hard as it was home to many of the migrants: “80 to 100 families have relocated to their home country primarily because of job changes and changes in the economy.”-Richard Rowell, business owner in Katy City

Washington: Once again Seattle based Amazon is in trouble. This time it’s being fined $350-thousand USD by the FAA after United Parcel Service employees were sickened by a chemical reaction in some packages from Amazon. Those packages were filled with chemical cleaners, which are banned in the U.S. from being shipped by air. The chemical cleaning product is called Amazing Liquid Fire, and the UPS employees said they felt like they were burning after fumes came from the package.

Washington DC:  The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank says 76-million U.S. citizens barely get by financially. 46% of U.S. citizens would be devastated by a financial emergency. 45% say it’s because their jobs do not give them steady income as their work hours constantly change.

The U.S. Department of Labor said the month of May saw the lowest new job growth since 2010, only 38-thousand new jobs created. Unofficial propagandists of unAmerican corporate America, main stream news media ‘experts’, had been promising at least 160-thousand new jobs!

The U.S. Department of Labor is also dealing with an issue I’ve experienced myself; your employer suddenly says you’re now a contractor, reduces your pay and ends benefits. It’s called Employee Misclassification.

It’s been revealed that taxpayers are being forced to spend $20-thousand USD to ‘settle’ each so called war refugee coming into the U.S. The revelation was made by Negative Population Growth.

It’s been revealed that a taxpayer funded scholarship program known as DACA funds college education for ILLEGAL immigrants! Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton proudly and openly supports it! DACA is in addition to any other financial aid: “I was able to get scholarships and grants through DACA.”-Clara Kim, Korean student at elitist Azusa Pacific University in California who admitted to Hillary Clinton that she was in the U.S. illegally, Hillary Clinton then ‘applauded’ Kim’s efforts, it was caught on video by CBSLos Angeles.

More proof U.S. jobs are going to immigrants; during a Congressional hearing it was revealed that at least 5-million migrants violated their H-1B visas and now refuse to leave the United States! This means they’re now illegal immigrants but the federal government isn’t doing anything about it, a grand total of 10-thousand visa violation cases were investigated out of the now 5-million violators known to be in the U.S.! Despite the latest revelations, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a new Visa Waiver Program which allows immigrants to enter the United States without getting visas from U.S. consular officers!

Indian news media revealed that the U.S. government is making bank on its H-1B visa program. At the end of last year the Obama regime jacked up the fees paid by foreigners for H-1Bs by $4-thousand USD! The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services handles the H-1B applications.

West Virginia: State Division of Forestry eliminating 37 jobs due to $1.7-million USD in taxpayer funding cuts.

Wyoming: The governor proposed cutting $248-million USD for government contractors, which would result in at least 677 people becoming unemployed!  The governor blamed crashing tax revenues from the mining/oil industry.

WARN=Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification.

I found a 2010 AFL-CIO analysis (titled The Public Availability of WARN Notices: Lack of Accessibility and Disclosure…) which proves what I’ve been suspecting in my search of state WARN notices; most states are not complying with federal WARN regulations and are not publicizing or tracking mass layoffs.

Former employees who receive severance are not counted as unemployed!

The U.S. Department of Labor (DoL) no longer issues mass layoff reports: “On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the- board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass Layoff Statistics, and all ‘measuring green jobs’ products. This news release is the final publication of monthly mass layoff survey data.”
