Every time Obama and his thugs pee their collective pants over a temporary decrease in "new US claims for unemployment," I grab my equipment with one hand and my wallet with the other.
These people talked the economy down into this hole in part to get elected. You remember it, don't you? All those lies about this being "the worst economy since the Great Depression," as if the Carter Administration hadn't existed.
And sure enough, they got what they wanted. And then, they made what was worse... what was unthinkable... what was unbelievably bad... geometrically more awful by redistributing our Nation's wealth and burying untold generations in debt... not unlike local bridger/looters Leavitt, Stuart, Boldt and the like want to do to us locally.
The problem with this Administration is that we cannot believe them. We must presume, based on their 2 years plus in power, that when they tell us something, they are, in fact, lying.
The astronomical number of times these people have lied are well known. Rehashing them here makes no sense.
But lying is what these people do. BOTH sides do it.
And isn't it about time that they put this country ahead of their own re-election and told us the truth?

I know all information is filtered through some lens but I really don't think the financial catastrophe is orchestrated, contrived, illusionary, partisan, or mythical. America is changing. Our work-ethic is down, our sense of entitlement is up, irrationality abounds - but mostly we don’t pick our own strawberries or sew our own clothes. There just aren't enough blue-collar jobs anymore, and not everyone can be an engineer, (as if our engineering jobs were secure!).
ReplyDeleteI closely follow financial underpinnings, and this country is in deep doo-doo. The steps that were taken to save us were essentially correct, and continue to be. The real question is much more fundamental: Do we lower our standard-of-living voluntarily or will we be forced into it? A depression is still a very real possibility: Perhaps your argument is that we should take our medicine now – and perhaps you are correct?
We must take our medicine now... when we can still have some impact on the type, the dosage and the timing.
ReplyDeleteBecause I fear that one day... sooner rather then latter... our choices, chances and opportunities will be gone.
Then what?
