Unemployment Is Driving Males to ISIS, Not Poverty, Illiteracy

"We cannot kill our way out of this war,” she said. “We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that lead people to join these groups, whether it’s a lack of opportunity for jobs….”Advertisement

Matthews countered that this isn’t a viable strategy since “There’s always going to be poor Muslims, and as long as there are poor Muslims, the trumpet’s blowing and they’ll join,” to which Harf replied that “We can work with countries around the world to help improve their governance. We can help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people.”
Coming just as the White House outlines a new set of nonmilitary plans to fight groups like ISIS, Harf’s comments were blasted by conservative critics as, in the words of Rush Limbaugh, a “left-wing syrupy embarrassingly "


Conservatives Are Blasting the Obama Administration for Saying Unemployment Causes Terrorism. They’re Kind of Right.

Perhaps a large number of jobs for youth can be created for Astronauts. Takes a 3 hour work out, daily, for health in space. Perhaps an Astronaut Tax, based upon youth unemployment. Space agencies should have the power to tax.

The same place as the evidence for his X-ray ball that is shot out of a laser cannon at speeds much much slower then the speed of light.

I have been *ahem* excluded from that forum. Pity. So much crazy there.

So if the Enemy is Under-employment, together with unemployment, Then the solution is Jobs. As Robots take over, there are fewer economically stimulated jobs. So I suggest changing the mission of NASA.

NASA jobs, today, are aimed at efficiency. I suggest the mission of NASA be expanded to include colonizing the moon, Mars, etc. Jobs can be created, and wages paid from the increasing budget, for young people to train/learn to become astronauts. NASA shall assess the unemployment levels in various regions, and create jobs at levels of challenge, that will be commensurate with the unemployed and underemployed population potentials.The Final Decision to actually go, can be delayed, until a decision has to actually be made. Many of the NASA jobs woud be centered on traveling to outer space. Space is the Challenge, not fighting fellow Earthlings.

The Missions to the Moon and Mars, shall be staffed with representative components of the unemployed youth, in various sections of the country. The wages shall be the going wages, and work 40 Hours per week.
A new section of NASA will be Job Creation. More jobs will be created to reduce unemployment and under-employment, aimed at , the various education and skill levels of unemployed youth.



Federal Laws can be written for the expanded role of NASA.

Hopefully the US can set a working example for other countries to expand their space programs.

That's a pretty good observation. I have ME friends, and their opinion is that these people have -- nothing -- just abject poverty, so when someone comes along with a good idea - to them, and gives them value, of course they're going to follow.

After 1947 the Middle East pretty much turned into a free fire zone anyway, with feudalists running it. Just a waste of people.
