More Factory Jobs Won’t Fix America's Unemployment Problem and Here's Why - Watchdog on Wall Street with Chris Markowski

Chris tackles the ‘Nilf’ epidemic. 7 million prime-age men (24-54) not in the labor force, neither working nor looking, a tenth of their demographic, blaming decades of Great Society handouts turned narcotic, as he argued in his old Drug Pusher piece citing Cato Institute data. With three Nilfs for every unemployed job-seeker, he scoffs at Trump’s factory revival dreams, noting these ‘long-termers, won’t budge, fueled by a dysfunctional $7 trillion disability archipelago (SSDI, SSI, VA benefits, and more) that’s spiked sevenfold since 1965. Markowski warns cutting benefits is political suicide; the fix starts with eighth-grade prep and grandfathering current Nilfs. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
