"TINA"
TINA, you're breaking my heart,You're shaking my confidence daily.
Oh TINA, I'm all out of work,
I'm begging for job guarantees.
TINA, you're breaking my heart,
You're shaking my confidence daily.
Oh TINA, there's no place to work,
I'm begging for deficits, please.
Job guarantees.
Unemployed in the afternoon with TINA
Upload resume,
I get up to find some cheer,
When I refresh the page,
Jobs are no longer there.
TINA, you're breaking my heart,
You're shaking my confidence daily.
Oh TINA, I'm down on my knees,
I'm begging for job guarantees.
Stagflation,
She loves me again,
I fall on the floor of the dole.
Starvation,
She loves me again,
I fall on the floor of food stamps.
There is always an alternative!
A Job Guarantee is arguably the most "just" policy mechanism related to unemployment for a monetized economy, and is certainly a compelling policy for a host of other social and economic reasons.
