Social Security Board did the right thing in commissioning a consultant. It was unfortunate to see Jules Vasquez portraying so much ignorance in the name of investigative journalism. Well, in the UDP party of blindness, a one eye reporter may be the king of intelligence. He kept emphasizing how “common sense can tell us.” Common sense has not been known to be able to answer complex human questions. And many policies can be found to be embarrassing failures because they were based on common sense not informed rigorous research. Someone may say that “he is poor because he is black, and that’s the fact.” But scientific sense will want to find out whether he is poor and black by inheritance, demography, accident, or incidence. Is he poor because of his ascription to the culture of poverty? Is he poor because of inter-generational poverty? Is he poor because of the effect of where he lives (ghetto)? Is he poor because of his opportunities or importunities, etc.? If all these factors were reconstructed or reoriented, will he still be poor though he remains black? Well it seemed clear to Jules that that guy was “poor because he is black” – but with further research/information that all encompassing statement can easily be proved inaccurate in some specific circumstances. Or until the consultant began to ask the right questions. Universal may have seemed a common sense fact that it will not work. But scientific investigation was needed to ask the relevant questions to be void of uninformed preconceptions.

An astute investor does not invest only where others have succeeded. Because the real money is where others have seemingly failed. Universal hospital can still work and make a lot of money. It should be rescued, or some smart investor should step in there. Don’t mind Jules. He is helplessly UDP. Social Security did the right thing in hiring a consultant. It was embarrassing they had to be harassed into the many explanations they had to do.

Read and pass this along to your neighbor or friend. Let’s have peace and love one another. It’s the PUP way.
