Same old song

Fiscally and morally corrupt the DC fat cats have just about ruined the nation. Neither party is exempt from the blame because no matter who did what, when, all of them allowed things to progress this far.
What sickens me is news media ignoring or downplaying the issues. We have a fiat currency other nations are trying to dump in favor of something else, weakening us. China has a shitload of our cash and is dumping it buying South American oil companies and other resources. There’s a huge list of things going on that nobody wants to talk about, it’s so unbelievably depressing that I haven’t made and entry in months.
Thanks to the idiots who forced us into the global economy we cannot even recover by ourselves anymore like we did historically. Now we’re weighed down by other countries issues and problems some of them make us look like the poster child for a healthy economy even as screwed up as we are! Frightening….

Take the time to go to the www.BanktuptingAmerica.org web site, it’s worth the effort.

Out of work? Just wait till 2020

And the news just keeps getting better and better…..

Thanks to the idiots running things on capital hill it looks like it may be around 2020 before the job market recovers. In a recent article ar Investor’s Business Daily, alarming Labor Department information shows the current situation with jobs to be grim:

Employment bottomed in December 2009 at 129.588 million — two years after peaking at 137.951 million. At this year’s pace, the U.S. won’t recoup all those 8.36 million lost jobs* until March 2020 — 147 months after the December 2007 high.

This will be our last, best chance to save ourselves from Obama’s “How to Kill Our Economy in Four Easy Steps“.

Change you can believe in, a $1.47 Trillion Dollar Deficit

I don’t know about you but this is NOT the change I had in mind when they spouted that mind numbing mantra during Obama’s election campaign.

New estimates from the White House on Friday predict the budget deficit will reach a record $1.47 trillion this year. The government is borrowing 41 cents of every dollar it spends.

Americans have lost faith in Obama

Chuck — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 02:46:45 +0000

It’s cost this country a lot of money to finally learn the lesson that Obama was not the right person for the job. Many of us were wise enough to know that from the outset, but the mindless hordes that voted him into office are finally getting a clue.

The New York Daily News reports that the majority of U.S. Citizens are dissatisfied with the job he has done and the numbers are on the increase.

Finally someone with some sense

The NAFTA treaty was a bad idea from it’s conception, I’ve been saying it since Clinton first introduced it. Once it was signed the country watched manufacturing plants jump ship left and right, killing jobs and crushing pay scales with more and more people out of work willing to take lower pay. The numbers are in and it’s obviously not good:

…..the U.S. enjoyed a $1.7 billion dollar trade surplus with Mexico in 1993, before NAFTA, compared to a $47.5 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico in 2009.

Nothing stimulated here, please move along.

According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal a professor of economics crunched the numbers on the recent ’2009 Stimulus Package’ as well as the new one proposed for 2010, the final statement sums it all up nicely.

The fiscal stimulus package of 2009 was a mistake. It follows that an additional stimulus package in 2010 would be another mistake.

Throw the bums out

The United States is tired of politics as usual in D.C. and want to see major changes in big government. Citizens want a reduction in the size and cost as well as a stop to the invasion of their everyday lives. Most importantly the U.S. citizens want a government that represents the people, not special interest groups or corporations.
