I REBUKE THEE BOARDITES!

[johnnycakes]

Shame on all of you. I cast you out......... OUT!!! OUT demon seed !

I beat up on Obama and no one comes to the rescue of that quivering mass of jello in a suit ? He's in his glory: another chance to screw the poor and aged and keep the Bush tax cuts for his very good,very, very good, very, very, very good wealthy and corporate friends.

But he did get up on TV and once again succeeded in being totally uninspiring and threatening us with total collapse and I mean Obama personally not the economy in which his rich friends are rolling in money and the poor can't find work and are losing their homes.

Bite me.

SistaCtry,

Obama should have done what Roosevelt did during the other depression and that is INCREASE government spending to produce jobs because the private sector back then did what the rich are doing now and that is sitting on all the money they are getting from the Bush tax breaks and not producing jobs.

Obama's approach is to continue tax cuts to the rich while cutting spending on the poor. Keeping the Bush tax cuts is called 'trickle-down&quot; economics in which that money given to the already Croesus rich is supposed to move down the economic ladder to those at the bottom.
It never worked under Reagan and it will not work now because the rich will just keep whatever they bribe the government to give them.

Where did you get the idea that Obama wants to tax the rich ?

I admit it is what SHOULD be done but then not getting us into SIX wars is another obviously good idea that your boy sees no sense in.
Why? Ask yourself who makes money from all the wars we're in and who pays with their lives for that policy.

Who benefited most from Obama's healthcare plan?

The Democrat Party would NEVER have nominated him, ALLOWED us to vote for him if he were any good. If he were a moral person he would never have even been allowed to get to the Senate .

I do appreciate your responses to what I post. It helps me to understand what people think and why..

Why Washington (including OBAMA) is About to Make the Jobs Crisis Worse
By Robert Reich

One universe is the one in which most Americans live.
In it, almost 15 million people are unemployed, wages are declining (adjusted for inflation), and home values are still falling. The unsurprising result is consumers aren’t buying — which is causing employers to slow down their hiring and in many cases lay off more of their workers. In this universe, we’re locked in a vicious economic cycle that’s getting worse.

The other universe is the one in which Washington politicians live.
They are now engaged in a bitter partisan battle over how, and by how much, to reduce the federal budget deficit in order to buy enough votes to lift the debt ceiling.

The two universes have nothing whatever to do with one another — except for one thing. If consumers can’t and won’t buy, and employers won’t hire without customers, the spender of last resort must be government. We’ve understood this since government spending on World War II catapulted America out of the Great Depression — reversing the most vicious of vicious cycles. We’ve understood it in every economic downturn since then.

Until now.

The only way out of the vicious economic cycle is for government to adopt an expansionary fiscal policy — spending more in the short term in order to make up for the shortfall in consumer demand. This would create jobs, which will put money in peoples’ pockets, which they’d then spend, thereby persuading employers to do more hiring. The consequential job growth will also help reduce the long-term ratio of debt to GDP. It’s a win-win.

This is not rocket science. And it’s not difficult for government to do this — through a new WPA or Civilian Conservation Corps, an infrastructure bank, tax incentives for employers to hire, a two-year payroll tax holiday on the first $20K of income, and partial unemployment benefits for those who have lost part-time jobs.

Yet the parallel universe called Washington is moving in exactly the opposite direction. Republicans are proposing to cut the budget deficit this year and next, which will result in more job losses. And Democrats, from the President on down, seem unable or unwilling to present a bold jobs plan to reverse the vicious cycle of unemployment. Instead, they’re busily playing “I can cut the deficit more than you” — trying to hold their Democratic base by calling for $1 of tax increases (mostly on the wealthy) for every $3 of spending cuts.
All of this is making the vicious economic cycle worse — and creating a vicious political cycle to accompany it.

As more and more Americans lose faith that their government can do anything to bring back jobs and wages, they are becoming more susceptible to the Republican’s oft-repeated lie that the problem is government — that if we shrink government, jobs will return, wages will rise, and it will be morning in America again. And as Democrats, from the President on down, refuse to talk about jobs and wages, but instead play the deficit-reduction game, they give even more legitimacy to this lie and more momentum to this vicious political cycle.

The parallel universes are about to crash, and average Americans will be all the worse for it.

Now that a Democrat's in office, Republican's allege the debt is a grave crisis, requiring immediate Draconian cuts in those programs, and only those programs, that they never liked in the first place. AND THE DEMOCRATS PLAY ALONG.

jah_yout,

It does clearly illustrate how the government is detached from reality and deep in thrall to the corporations and the wealthy.

Re: I REBUKE THEE BOARDITES!



Evening, Peoples........

I think that what we're seeing is the net effect of the removal of the ceiling on corporate contributions to political campaigns. Anybody agree with me?

Reich's article was spot on as usual: he always makes good sense. Too bad ppl with that sort of good sense can't ever get nominated, but then that's the System.

Aye saaaaahhh........
