You rang? BTW, I''m not a repukecan,,nor a dimowitcrat.

And I ''ve been saying along, that if prices were not kept low, we''d been a world of hurt.

Looks like I was right, unfortunately!

Lets see if I got a handle on modern American Economics; The middle class needs to save more money for a rainy day while:
1. Making less with the service jobs that replaced our lost manufacturing jobs.
2. Paying more for essentials like Gas, food, heat, power, health care, education, etc.
3. Loosing homes through foreclosure from shady mortgages, job loss or catastrophic health care costs.
4. Loosing Pensions from employers going chapter 11.

With all of the above increasingly happening in America, our government is worried that the American masses may cause a recession because we are SPENDING LESS!!!

This situation just makes you want to Bbitch-Slap someone.

For 225 years America had fought many external enemies, far more powerful than those we fight today, without abandoning our Constitutional form of government.

In fact, wielding the moral right and might embodied within our Constitution had always naturally defeated any enemy espousing philosophies of tyranny and oppression. ..."

LOL How soon we forget!! Spent the first Clinton Administration digging out from under this mess and we''''re right back in the soup again. Can''''t keep the interest rates low with inflatiion out there. LOL So who want''''s to continue the "Trickle Down" garbage??

Posted by MCVet at 02:52 PM : Jan 16, 2008


Those who believe in "trickle down economics" also subscribe to golden showers--you have to be pretty deviant to expect those with money to not keep or spend it for themselves and reinvest it in a population that they do not care about. That is the reason many want to base themselves in foreign lands--they will use the average "consumer" (read as material pig) until they use them up, then they will move on to other markets.

Been this way (inflation through the roof for food and energy) for at least a year now--guess Bush decided he could not hide this any longer. If you will notice, the price of CDs, restaurants, etc are creeping up also--we will only have cheap goods as long as China continues to subsidize us--when they can no longer stand the pain to keep George''s house of cards standing--those cards and the lies for the past 2 years will all fall down, right around our heads--what happens when we are a "consumer nation" (Bush''s words to Saudi Arabia) instead of a Producer nation.

Consumer is just another word for a "user." and a heavy consumer is just another term for a glutton.

"... My fellow citizens, twice we have fallen. Towers by enemies without, and freedom by enemies within.

It is a disheartening truth that terrorists didn%u2019t steal our dignity, liberty, and freedom, Republicans did.

Few knew that when the Republican Party declared a war on culture many decades ago, they meant a war on the culture of American liberty itself.

For it is not by accident that we find ourselves left today with only one heinously corrupt branch of government; an executive branch which openly and proudly violates every principal, and fulfills every fear, of our revered founding fathers. And it is not by chance that the Republican Party facetiously exclaims that it has simply always been this way, and we just never noticed.

And of course, our new dictatorship has nothing to do with %u201Cterrorism%u201D.

For 225 years America had fought many external enemies, far more powerful than those we fight today, without abandoning our Constitutional form of government.

In fact, wielding the moral right and might embodied within our Constitution had always naturally defeated any enemy espousing philosophies of tyranny and oppression. ..."

You know all this fu fur all krap about price indexing, GNP, industrial output, inflation rates, all they''d have to do is a couple of things to fix it.

Get the hell out of Iraq and quit funding a lost cause...

Quit playing the interst rate game...

Make tax rates equitable across the board, and quit allowing loopholes and business deducations...

Quit paying uneducated women to stay home and have babies...

Get alternative fuel vehicles on the road NOW...make everyone in the city drive golf carts, we don''t need cars that go 120 mph on city streets, much less a doolie pick up to take us 5 blocks to work.

There''s all kinds of ways to save money folks, if you apply yourself to it.

The problem is, nobody wants to. And nobody seems to want to stir our leaders into doing what''s right for the people. It''s easier to sit with tv clicker in hand and rant and rave at the tv.

If Faux News covers this - and that''s a big IF - then its going to be a quiet little blurb at tail end of the news hour and following a cute little story about Bush and his doggie!

17 years ago?? umm - isn''t that when Daddy Bush was in office??

Oh noooo -- what are bushites going to do?? A serious problem and they can''t blame it on Bill???

The end of Bush''s Presidency you aren''t going to find one single person in this country willing to admit that they voted for Ole Georgie Boy!! He''s going to go down in history as America''s absolutely worst president.

Cut taxes to 0% for corporations!!!
Get rid of all social services!!!
Get rid of the minimum wage!!!
Get rid of all health care!!!
And if need be, get rid of some of those excess worthless "people" who have a net worth of less than $500,000,000.!!!

I mean why drag it out any longer? Humanity doesn''t count for anything, just money. So let''s all just join hands and jump right over the cliff together, voluntarily and with a smile.

But no matter what, don''t start paying people a living wage, and don''t punish all those in our government and its corporate minions for literally bleeding our country dry, and betraying it by selling it to the Chinese and many of our other enemies. While claiming to fight for freedom and democracy as they slaughter tens of thousands of innocents in foreign lands.

No. Don''t do that.

Let''s do the cliff thing.

Just another symptom of the worst recession in 50 years, which will be known as the "George W Bush Recession."

Federal gasoline taxes being raised another 40 cents to repair infrastructure, which should have been done in lieu of tax cuts. That should raise prices of anything transported anywhere.

Are those who voted for this chimp happy ?
