Chapter 1675 Interview
No problem will be born for no reason on its own.

Whatever it is, there will always be a reason.

Even if it is the birth of life, there is an inevitable reason.

The same is true for launching a proposal vote in Congress. To let more senators understand the content of the entire proposal, sufficient content must be prepared.

For example, "Why do we initiate such a proposal" and "Need to initiate such a proposal", sometimes it seems that these two questions are not very smart.

Most people basically see the content of the proposal and can imagine why it was initiated.

But in a federation that emphasizes process, even if everyone knows why these things were initiated, they still have to follow the order.

Of course, this is also a necessary part of political transactions. If there is no so-called "process justice" and there is no buffer for everything, this country will become extremely bad!
It is precisely because of the necessity of the process, the buffer, and the political compromises and deals that make the federation look so beautiful!
Someone once said this sentence -

"Our goodness rests only on the corpses of some unseen victims..."

What he said may be a bit extreme, but at least he is not wrong!

Just like the question John is facing at this time, is he willing to stand up in front of the media, in front of the people, and even represent a small group of people in Congress to fight for his own interests!
This choice is actually not a good choice. Standing in the spotlight can indeed become the focus and make people pay attention to those problems on him.

But at the same time, he will also become some "models" and "targets".

The former is not terrible, but the latter is very troublesome.

John thought for a while before making this seemingly stupid decision, "Yes, I would!"

His starting point is very simple. If he cannot become a representative person, then his problems may not be solved.

This is not great wisdom, it's just a little cleverness at the bottom of the federal society.

A baby who can cry can attract the attention of the nanny!
Maybe he will be retaliated by some people, but compared to enjoying the benefits brought by the social security system for life, he thinks the risk is worth it!
With the choice of John and other smart people, the "Working Daily" soon began to report on the proposal that Congress was submitting for review and voting.

Among them, the title "Amendment to the Federal Social Security System" was directly amplified on the front page headlines. As soon as the newspaper was released, it aroused the attention of the entire Federation!
This is a matter related to the vital interests of many people. 90.00% of the seven people are "ordinary people", and they all care about the free medical insurance and pensions within the approval.

It also includes some of the middle class.

Even Mr. Johnson, the former head of the Federal Taxation Bureau of Sabine City, whose name is similar to John, is also very concerned.

He bought the top grade, but in the supplementary content of this proposal, the standard for pension payment was mentioned, which also made him very nervous.

After all, the child born to him by Michael's wife was about to enter elementary school, and he planned to send the child to a private school.

Even if the school will give his children part of the scholarship, it is still a heavy burden.

He may change plans if his pension is cut.

While the report of the "Working Daily" sparked heated discussions in the society, Mr. Truman was also reading the newspaper.

The newspaper cited some examples from all over the country. These people not only have detailed names, home addresses and social insurance information, but also the things that actually happened to them.

Everyone's happiness is different, but their sadness is highly consistent!
Mr. Truman looked at the cases of these people, as if John was more representative.

Not two years have passed since the Great Depression, and the unemployment rate has skyrocketed during the Great Depression. For example, the unemployment rate in some areas is as high as 20.00% or more!
This is not a general and simple calculation where only one out of five people is unemployed. After removing the unsuitable employed population, it can be said that among the 6000 million federal people, about 200 million are currently unemployed!

Just over 800 million people have jobs!

It's not that one out of five people is out of work!

It's that out of five people, only one has a job, and that person has to fucking feed the other five!

It is normal to stop paying social security funds in such an environment. In addition, the federal Social Security Bureau stipulates that only companies that pay federal taxes are eligible to pay social security funds for their employees.

In those few years, there were too many people who broke their payment, and this is indeed a very urgent problem that needs to be solved.

Like other people, they are also very representative. For example, someone cannot continue to work because of a work-related injury.

Since he can't work, his idea of ​​continuing to pay social security has come to nothing, which means that the person in the newspaper is already in deep despair!

Once he and his family lose their source of income, or he is abandoned by his family, what awaits him is to become a marginal member of society.

Homeless people, beggars, may end up dying on the streets.

The weak relationship between federal families can sometimes make them do very terrible things, such as children not supporting their elders and so on.

This happens a lot with federal families who "treat family as friends."

Everyone who stands up is very representative and very topical.

Mr. Truman looked at the newspaper, thinking about whether he could find something useful in it.

If it is said that before he talked with Lynch, he would not consider using the power of the Socialist Party and the workers' union to become his own help and promote the passage of the proposal.

Then Lynch's words made him truly understand what politics is!

Politics is about uniting all those who can help you!

They may be good and bad, but they are all the same in being their own help.

Using the power of trade unions to do good things for the working class, Mr. Truman will not feel bad conscience!

He thought of this and pressed the blue button on the phone, which was leading to the secretariat, "If someone from the workers' union or the Socialist Party calls, or wants to visit me, don't stop them."

"Yes, Mr. President, I understand..."

After releasing the button, Mr. Truman looked at the newspaper in his hand, and then threw him to a corner of the table.

Every day someone will come to clean up that piece of files, they will be shredded by a shredder, split and packed, and then thrown out!

Yes, the debris is split into two bags and goes through the two waste systems, not an easy job if someone wants to collect the debris!
Mr. Truman thought that the trade unions would come soon, but he obviously miscalculated the determination of the Socialist Party leader to use this incident to enhance the influence of the Socialist Party.

He needs to wait for the situation to continue to ferment, and when the demands of the working class become stronger, before he will appear as an image of "carrying all the hope and future of the working class".

This is actually a bit shameful, but it is precisely one of the essence of politics.

Politicians not only have good acting skills, but also need to be able to read the script and add drama to themselves appropriately!

This is the real actor!

It only took four days from the publication of the news in the "Working Daily" to the complete igniting of public opinion.

Almost all TV stations and media are reporting these things, and it has become a hot topic among the people.

No way, it is related to everyone's life, and future life!
The members of Congress also felt the heavy pressure from the society. They even took the initiative to ask Mr. Williams, asking him when the second hearing will be held and he will be free!
It was at such a time that the leader of the Socialist Party took the initiative to ask for a private meeting with Mr. Truman, not the kind of public meeting in the presidential palace, in front of many people, in the presidential office.

It is private, not known by others!

They met in a villa in the suburbs, which occupies a large area.

There are two swimming pools, one is the swimming pool in the front yard, the more common kind of boxy swimming pool, maybe it is a bit old-fashioned, but there are such swimming pools in the front yards of the whole Federation.

In the backyard, there is also a larger, multi-level freeform swimming pool.

In addition to this there are basketball and tennis courts, and a running track that goes around the entire villa!
The track is covered with the latest rubber, which is expensive.

There are many flowers and plants planted on both sides of the road, and there are special people to take care of it. It can be seen that the owner has put a lot of thought into taking care of it!

This is the villa of the leader of the Socialist Party, but he doesn't come here often, and he plans to move here after retirement.

Before that, he'd be living in a middle-class neighborhood, and he didn't want his life to be divorced from the working class.

At this moment, it is very quiet here, without many people disturbing. There are many plants in the courtyard, and a professional gardener takes care of them, which makes Mr. Truman feel very comfortable.

When you breathe in the fragrance of those flowers, along with the sunshine that has just entered the summer, the whole world becomes relaxed and lively.

The light yellow flowers are dotted among the tender green vegetation, and the vitality of all things is vividly expressed by the simple picture at this moment!
The two sat on the rattan chair in the open air. Judging from its weaving style, it should be from Nagalil.

Nagalil's handmade products are changing towards high-quality goods, and the capitalists in the Federation understand the mentality of consumers very well.

Compared with asking them to spend five yuan to buy an ordinary wicker chair, more people are willing to spend 50 yuan to buy a pair of "work of art" that has been praised as "the swan song of handicraft practitioners"!
Neither of them spoke at this time, they just sat quietly, thinking about something...
