The Unemployment Culture

Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again?
Some facts you need to know about unemployment.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

The gist of this video is, that once your unemployed your earning are retarded for the rest of your life, you really don't ever fully recover. But why would you? Are you going to continue to bank on a loosing horse? So unemployment is a system fail, one that there should be more compassion and understanding about.

What Wall Street MUST START UNDERSTANDING IS...
That they are going to have to give back all that PROFIT they've stolen out of this economy. They are going to have to create jobs, beyond those job's ability to pay for themselves, to prop this WHOLE Economy back up, to spread prosperity to all. Yes BANKERS fucked this up again. We can't do without them, so they are getting away with it again, but it's everybody's problem. Everybody has to work to fix it. Or we are over as a super power.

What I just said is true, but is unrealistically idealistic. I still have faith that truth will win out in the end.

Broken Markets, and Loonitics

I am not economist. But I am convinced that the whole FREE MARKET is broken, on every level. Supply and Demand are no longer driving laws of the market, it's all based on Futures, and nothing more than Magic, Spin, Smoke and Mirrors, Pink Flying Unicorns, and Blind Optimism. Yes, I'm saying there is NOTHING REAL about it.

The magic solution according to Washington DC is Education.
How much sense does it make, that a 4 year degree should cost $120,000? Starting your life and career $120-180k in debt? So let's add in a modest 3 bedroom home, at $400k. Now your looking at $520k? Oh, but you need 2 cars too, for another $80k. The ROCK SOLID FOUNDATION TO START A LIFE (the American Dream): $600,000? That is a broken market! Yeah, a small percentage of people will make that, but not many. You are doomed!

Corporate America has the capital investment, but isn't making jobs because of Tax Instability? Or crooked cooked books? More and bigger and better Enrons?

I am seeing the same war plan (spin) from Conservatives Around the World! It's not just America that has gone insane. What is this new global economy based on? Really, what drives it? Where is it going? It seems that people at all levels, have no value anymore, and we haven't even been taken over by robots, just idiots. That are making TONS of money, that isn't really worth anything?

I am trying to survive this. But that's really hard to do, when it's all based on lies.
I'm scared.

Smoke and mirrors

We're all shocked that Bachmann's husband would be The Gay Curer. Are you kidding me, it is my option that guy is fruiter than kid's breakfast cereal. Clearly another one of those that hates himself for his sinful nature. But what does that have to do with anything? I wonder why anyone would focus in on him, when she's such a wingnut.

Bachmann came on the scene claiming that "Obama was Anti-American, and so was the Congress." Which I disagree with her about. Her and her party are only against 90% of us. How dare the mother fucking government ever find investment in good health, honorable and worthwhile? How dare you anti-Americans demand CLEAR AIR AND WATER! And how dare you want health care to fix you afterwards?

Still Bachmann is nothing. And I do mean nothing at all. She wants power, but is too stupid to ever get it, or know how to control it.

More importantly is the Anti-Americanism that is running ramped in the Republican party. Now, I don't think I've ever brought this up before? I could be wrong, but I really don't think so. Because it was meaningless rhetoric, until we got to the Debt Ceiling; Mitch McConnell has said, "It is the Republican party's soul goal to see to it that Barrack Obama is a one term president." Even to the point of crashing this country into a GREAT DEPRESSION? That man should be arrested and thrown in jail for the rest of his life for treason, along with anyone that would follow him.

Never have I seen a generation so out of control with selfishness and greed, and dogmatic partisanism. I know your better than this, but what's been sent to Washington is retarded.

The Republicans and congress had no problem at all raising the Debt Ceiling something like 37 times for 'W', but now have a problem doing it? This is the same as raising your Credit Line Limit, it has nothing to do with what you borrow, but how much is available to borrow. You need to stop being so cynical. We're all on the same side here, and crashing down is not the best way to bring things down. Just Republicans want to hurt poor people in the process for some unimaginable vulgar reason?

Do you realize that we live in peace in this country, because we create peace through the hope of prosperity, and through social programs (including public school) and taking care of one another. The darkest thing in my imagination is OUR need for FOOD BANKS!

As my brother rightfully says; "When the votes are taken away, the only other option is bullets."
I've never been more scared for my nation. Light that candle this weekend, and say a prayer to restore sanity.

Senators trying to be heard over the noise:



Yes, I heard Chuck say "very inefficiently", stop splitting hairs, you know what he really meant. Costs for Medicare have gone up about 400% since the 1970's. However, Health Care overhead for private insurance is up over 700%. We know he meant 'efficiently'!

Senators are trying to take the fight to Republicans

Democratic Senators want you to know that Republicans in both houses, are out to screw you and your families this year, to win political points by secretly engineering a bad economy, so you'll electing a Republican President.

I have one question to ask? Where is Joe Biden? Senators are only going to get coverage on cable. You need your message out network morning shows to be noticed by the masses. That is the job the VP! Taking the battle to the other side, is the job of the VP. Not playing let's make a deal. That is the job of the President. Where is Joe Biden to dish this shit back at the Republicans?

Once he will not do it I will:
Republicans want you to eat shit for the two year (starting the one we're in) so you will vote for a Republican President. Are you really going to vote for a guy that strips good business apart for profit, like Mr. Romney does? Does that really sound like the best road to recovery?

A vote Republican is against Medicare. (We decided two generations ago that good health care was too expensive for seniors, why would we change our minds now?).
A vote Republican is against YOUR Social Security. (Did you not notice that we HAD TO BAIL OUT AIG?)
A vote Republican is against ALL public education.
A vote Republican is against all science, except engineering (particularly social engineering).
A vote Republican is against fair labor practices and good paying jobs.
A vote Republican is against job security, and keeping jobs here.
A vote Republican is against collective bargaining, and for weakening unions.
A vote Republican is against (YOUR RIGHT) to joining or forming labor unions in the first place.
A vote Republican is against not only abortion but birth control. (They are declaring HUMAN LIFE to begin when the sperm enters the egg- that makes all birth control methods illegal, but we don't give certificates of conception for a good reason-ew!).
A vote Republican is in favor of the Government deciding the best medical treatments for you.
A vote Republican is against the American Dream for anyone under a million dollars a year.
A vote Republican is in favor of raising your taxes while giving even bigger breaks to Billionaires (the so called Job Creators)!
A vote Republican is in favor of endless war.
A vote Republican is against nearly all Veteran Benefits (you patriotic suckers).
A vote Republican is against Nurses in all places they are employed including your kid's school.
A vote Republican is against having enough Cops and Firemen.
A vote Republican is for not knowing UP from DOWN in trickle down.
A vote Republican is for high prices in food and energy from Derivative Trading rather than Supply and Demand.
A vote Republican is for NO REGULATION for Wall Street, and EVEN MORE BANK BAIL OUTS!
A vote Republican is for Selfishness Doctrine of Ayn Rand, and against Christian Charity, and the Protestant Work Ethic.
A vote Republican is for lower wages by abolishing the minimum wage.
A vote Republican is in favor abusive child labor (right here in your country).
A vote Republican is FOR FULL EMPLOYMENT, in China.
A vote Republican is for defunding the EPA, so there will be no safe drinking water in America (not even in a bottle).
A vote Republican is to kiss Grampa good bye- no more Meals on Wheels, he have to beg strangers at the market like they did in the old days.
A vote Republican is in favor of turning us into a Third World Nation, so we can be sweatshop workers, with no social safety net.
A vote Republican is for defaulting on our debit, which will cost you thousands of dollars in your mortgage, and on your next car, even your credit cards.
A vote Republican is in favor of voter repression (anti-democracy cheating, which is all they got in ideas).
Why the f**k aren't I the Vice President?

Now you want proof? Read the HEADLINES in a REAL NEWSPAPER! Etrade is already running TV ads telling you to invest in Chinese Bullet Train, rather than in new rail HERE!

Get in your poll position

This article should be a poll.
The question is, does the Netroots have any pull in the upcoming election?
I sure hope nobody will look to me for advice- I think we're all FUCKED no matter what!
However, should Republicans STEAL another election and then call it mandate, we're all TRIPLE FUCKED, seeing what they've done to the whole Rust Belt and New England (this year), with ginned up crisis after crisis.
Back to question at hand though; I believe that Blogs (such as this one) are only a reflection of the public, and not a persuader. There are very few people I'm going to stir to anything other than anger. I'm just launching my opinions from the darkest spot of my soul; yeah it really kind of sunny down there, but angry. Keeps my blood pressure up so I don't freeze.

Hot Dog, NO meat!

Another fine male has been castrated today.
Mr Weiner committed no crimes, didn't even have SEX, and yet is forced to resign for flashing his wiener at some strippers, that were willing to play with him online. I just don't get it? It's still called FLIRTING.

I think that it was good that Mr Weiner's compulsions were exposed (pun intended), before he did get in REAL trouble. But the nonexistent crime does not fit any prescribe punishment. The embarrassment has always been enough. But today we have to go TOO FAR, and demand his balls too!

Once this is nothing but politics at it's most stupid level, I say: One Hot Dog please, hold the wiener.

There is another footnote here to be added:
My brother was 100% right, when he said; "The kiss of death to a politician is to become the joke." And that's all we've got here.

PS: I don't like the war on women, anymore than the war on men! We have got to stop being so stupid about trivial things.
