| Oh yeah, it was about jobs |
|
And the democrats knew that not creating millions of jobs would be disastrous. The stimulus was microscopic and ill run. Wall streets bonuses were bigger than the stimulus. The AIG bailout was bigger than the stimulus. Freddie and Fanny bailouts were bigger. Should I go on?
So now the pubes have control on the house. And any second rate crystal ball forsees that tax cuts for the upper zillionaires is the answer to economic woes. Hold on to your wallets.
Another reason that the democrats could not stimulate the economy is that our economy is in Pakistan. Outsourcing and off shoring assets and corporate welfare(socialism) and privatized profits and CEO's robbing the companies have created a nation on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
All we make any more are bombs. So war is our business, and peace is terrible for business.
What a fucking mess.

I've never heard you use the "F" word.
But, you're right.

| 4. The best answer to what we face |
|
is a 1930's style government hiring binge. We do need an infrastructure repair and update. It would allow us to compete in the world. But that will never happen.

Sometimes you have to get down to basics.

Now Fox is the tea party candidate network. The upper percentile is now what congress represents. They have all the wealth, and they bought it thanks in part to citizens united. The average person is toast. The rich and powerful always achieve the economic policies that benefit them. Now we have greed on steroids. Might be entertaining to watch as the average citizen blows his brains out.
