Any contract that does not place jobs at the top of its platform does not have the interests of the American family at heart. Such a contract could offer financial inducements for parents to get off drugs, and it would come down hard on deadbeat dads, wife beaters and child molesters. A welfare safety net would remain in place to allow women the freedom to leave abusive relationships. This contract would strongly defend our arts and culture, and call for federal and state support of media that soothe the savage beast. Where there is no vision, the people perish.
Vision is only possible in a society that helps every child become a productive member of society.
A Jewish Contract with the American Family would guarantee a practical, quality education to every student through high school, but redirect its focus toward job training. American education today is in a dream-world, lost in an elitist notion that everyone can and must go to college. Religious education with no basis in skills is just as foolish as a liberal education without morality. The high drop-out rate among today's youth plus the high illiteracy rate among the prison population indicate not that our children are immoral but that what they're learning is useless. A Jewish contract would respect teachers, and offer them subsidies or grants and salary increases, until their pay scale equals that of corporate lawyers.
