What can be done about mass unemployment All the wise heads agree:there’re no quick or any answers.There’s work to be done,but workers aren’t ready to do it.They’re in the wrong places,or they have the wrong skills.Our problem are“structural,”and will take many years to solve.But don’t bother asking for evidence that justifies this bleak view.There isn’t any.On the contrary,all the facts suggestthat high unemployment in America is the result of inadequate demand.Saying that there’re no easy answers sounds wise,but it’s actually foolish:our unemployment crisis could be cured very quickly if we had the intellectual clarity and political willto act.In other words,structural unemployment is a fake problem,which mainly serves as an excuse for not pursuing realsolutions.The fact is job openings have plunged in every major sector,while the number of workers forced into part-timeemployment in almost all industries has soared.Unemployment has surged in every major occupational category.Only threestates,with a combined population not much larger than that of Brooklyn,have unemployment rates below 5%.So theevidence contradicts the claim that we’re mainly suffering from structural unemployment.Why,then,has this claim become so popular Part of the answer is that this is what always happens during periods of high unemployment-in part because experts and analysts believe that declaring the problem the problem deeply rooted,with no easy answers,makes them sound serious.I’ve been looking at what self-proclaimed experts were saying about unemployment during the Great Depression;it was almostidentical to what Very Serious People are saying now.Unemployment cannot be brought down rapidly,declared one 1935analysis,because the workforce is“unadaptable and untrained”.I cannot respond to the opportunities which industry mayoffer.A few years later,a large defense buildup finally provided a fiscal stimulus adequate to the economy’s needs anD.suddenly industry was eager to employ those“unadaptable and untrained”workers.But now,as then,powerful forces areideologically opposed to the whole idea of government action on a sufficient scale to jump-start the economy.And that,fundamentally,is why claims that we face huge structural problems have been multiplying:they offer a reason to do nothingabout the mass unemployment that is crippling our economy and our society.So what you need to know is that there's no evidence whatsoever to back these claims.We aren't suffering from ashortage of needed skills;we’re suffering from a lack of policy resolve.As I said,structural unemployment isn’t real problem,it's an excuse-a reason not to act on America’s problems at a time when action is desperately needed.What does the author think is the root cause of mass unemployment in America 《》（）A.Corporate mismanagement.B.Insufficient demand.C.Technological advances.D.Workers’slow adaptation.
Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled--to $1.01 per pack--smokers have jammed telephone "quit lines" across the country seeking to kick the habit. This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase. The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely. In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drug store Wednesday. Charleston, S.C, where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4.78.The influence is obvious. In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys--13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison,26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records. Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans "who choose to smoke." That's true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place, as for today's adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better. The underlined word "deter" in paragraph 3 most probably means_________.A. discarding B. removeC. benefit D. free
