President Nixon ordered a nationwide

What???

You mean the government purposely keeps millions and millions and millions
of people unemployed at any given time, yet put time limits on welfare?

I don't recall hearing that in the public debate.

Question:   What will poor people who can't get
            jobs do when their welfare runs out?
            Keeping in mind that the government purposely
            keeps approximately 5 to 6 million people unemployed.

Answer:     Increasing crime, increasing tension and conflict with police
            departments, some rioting, and politicians banging the Drum of
            War to take stronger police and monitoring actions. "Law & Order"

Stronger police action mainly against black people.

----

This monitoring discrimination of blacks is demonstratedly nationwide.

Therefore, it is also a smoking gun for arguing
for retention of affirmative action programs.

You don't really think it's just law enforcement, do you?
