My article "Teaching Employees How to Fish" appears in the March 19, 2009 issue of of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) Career Insider.
"I would argue that the softer benefits — especially job search, networking and outsourcing advice — are more important than severance dollars in helping employees. These can be provided more cheaply in-house and provide more bang for the buck than SUB, severance or other benefits.
"My point that education is more important than direct dollars is based on the saying of an ancient Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu: 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.' It is beneficial to both employers and employees to encourage the development of skills by which employees who are laid off can cushion the blow and recover easily."

RLC Has A Great Opportunity: Just Ask Anyone on the NYC Subway
My blog "RLC Has a Great Opportunity: Just Ask Anyone on the NYC Subway" appears in the Republican Liberty Caucus Website here.
"...Increasingly, Brooklynites as well as Americans in general have been asking questions about the Federal Reserve Bank. If one of the parties decides to take this issue by the horns, it will be winnable. This is so in part because the statist media will have trouble responding to it. They can trot up Keynesian economists to argue, but the economists themselves can be made to be part of the issue. They are themselves, after all, on the special interest Fed gravy train."

New Stimulus Plan Proposal for Congressman Hinchey
Dear Congressman Hinchey:
I have a stimulus plan and I urge you to propose it to Congress. My plan is that Congress, the President and the US Supreme Court ought to convene in Guantanamo Bay, remaining there for the next twenty years.
They could occupy the cells left by the departed terrorists. Their decisions would be limited to Guantanamo Bay.
The three branches would then be able to begin to mend the damage that they have caused to this country.
Sincerely,
Mitchell Langbert

Letter to Congressman Maurice Hinchey: Stimulus Plan
Dear Congressman Hinchey:
I have thought of a sure fire economic stimulus plan. The US Congress should shut itself down for 15 years. At the end of the 15 years, America will be in better economic, spiritual and moral health than ever before in its history.
Before you decide to take my advice, though, please do me a solid and abolish the Federal Reserve Bank. And send its chairman to jail, where he belongs.
Best Wishes,
Mitchell Langbert, Ph.D.
