Today in Labor History March 4, 1933: Frances Perkins became U.S. Secretary of Labor, the first female member of the United States Cabinet. As labor secretary, she helped develop the social security system in 1935. She also played an important role in the development of other New Deal programs. And in 1939, she came under fire from Congress for refusing to support the deportation of ILWU chief, Harry Bridges, who they accused of being a Communist. As a young woman, Perkins worked with Florence Kelly, a social and political organizer who fought against sweatshops and for the minimum wage, eight-hour workday and children’s rights. Kelley was a follower of Karl Marx and a friend of Friedrich Engels. Perhaps for these reasons, people accused Perkins of being a Communist, which she was not. Perkins had also volunteered at Hull House, with Jane Addams.

You’re witnesssing #BombsOverBaghdad for the #AdministrativeState of Babylon.

It’s a #ShockAndAwe campaign against the “Cathedral”, to undermine the #American Republic, hyper-target #institutions of the #GreatSociety, #NewDeal, then 13th through 19th Amendments, roll back the #Enlightenment, then manifest a society where the #Renaissance is “novel”.

The reason it’ll be semi-successful is because the average citizen has not been #ExtremelyOnline for 3+ decades to grok it all.

“As a result of the Great Depression, #Lovecraft shifted towards socialism, decrying…prior political beliefs and fascism. He thought #socialism was a workable middle ground between the destructive impulses of both the capitalists and the Marxists of his day. This was based in a general opposition to cultural upheaval, as well as support for an ordered society. Electorally, he supported Franklin D. Roosevelt, but he thought that the #NewDeal was not sufficiently #leftist.”

#USA #NewDeal #FDR #Debt #Poverty: "In addition to creating Social Security, Roosevelt’s New Deal efforts, taken as a whole, unveiled a new form of government welfare: credit. Of the New Deal’s thirty-one major programs, fifteen extended federally backed private capital to Americans looking to buy homes, farms, and insurance. Today the architecture of the credit-based welfare state remains.

But what starts as credit ends as debt. Absent a robust social safety net, millions of older Americans subsist on crushing loads of it. Between 1999 and 2019, Americans over seventy experienced a 543 percent increase in household indebtedness, causing a shocking rise in bankruptcies filed by older Americans. In 2021, while the federal government’s COVID-19 relief measures radically expanded social protections, Americans over sixty-five were the only demographic to show increases in poverty.

For many aging Americans, their pension plan is their credit card.

The math, while cruel, is simple: older Americans, facing decreasing social benefits, rely increasingly on debt to survive. More than one in five seniors has medical debt, despite the federal government’s basic health care for Americans over sixty-five. Americans over sixty-two are the fastest-growing demographic of student debtors. One-third of seniors with medical debt report they have been unable to pay for basic necessities such as food, utilities, and rent. Older debtors face declining physical and mental health, including increasing risks of depression and suicide."
