That all sounds interesting. . .

CNBC is reporting this morning that the US is now in worse financial shape than Greece.

Want some cheeze to go with that baloney....

We live in the nicest house on the block in case you haven't noticed. And the term on the mortgage is out 100 years. But keep that bashing alive and just maybe Mitt will rise to the top.

A lot of the "nicest houses on the block" also sit vacant due to foreclosure these days.  ;)

If only the country were a house we could throw people out. Of course, if it were a house it would be stockpiled with too many weapons, a bad driveway, and no emergency kit among other defects.

But the country is not a house. It's a home with a bunch of fighting over the family budget.

You're right. 

The kids want a bigger allowance, a bottle of Jack and the keys to the mini-van, and unfortunately, we elected the "cool parent" that lets them party!

When attacked by a mob of clowns, always go for the juggler.

Know what's kinda funny? Joking over the lack of shovel ready jobs that Americans spent billions and billions on.

You really need to relax guido. Your obsession with Obama is a little frightening.

Power is nothing till you use it.

Hey, it was your metaphor.  I was just running with it.

RM, Hoss, etc;

Gaspar's quote a few posts ago tells you the whole story;

Most the above relates to issues outside of the current economic concerns of the people I know, but I will concede that the issues for Democrats are very different that the issues that other groups share.  


He and even more particularly, guido, are so far removed from what has badly affected the majority of Americans, that they cannot relate.  guido makes particular noise like the Steve Martin movie line, "I was raised a poor black boy from the ghetto..." and yet, no longer relates to those humble beginnings in any way.  Makes one wonder if his hardship when young was actually having to SHARE the BMW to drive to school with a sibling.


That is a good list, RM.  There has been much progress in the last 2 1/2 years.  And if we had not been on such an "export all the jobs" binge in the last 30 years, it would been much better.  The story IS all there in the unemployment numbers.  College educated people have enjoyed an unemployment rate in the 3 to 4% range.  And that is about 25% of the working population.  So even if you take into account "underemployment", that still leaves 75% of the working population getting hammered at a 9% rate or more!!

And those ARE the jobs that NAFTA, CAFTA, "import-illegals-from-South-and-Central America" policy, and "export-the-jobs-to-China" policy has destroyed in this country!  The phony concern from the RWRE about the unemployment rate is not just disingenuous, but dishonest and morally bankrupt!  As are Palin, Bachmann, Newt, and Santorum.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Has everyone noticed Gaspar's 'endnote'??

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that justifies it."

Frederic Bastiat


He is arguing with that note, the side against the class warfare the RWRE has waged against working class people, and the dramatic redistribution of wealth that group of men has created for themselves in the legal system we have today.

And then says the things he says?? 
Gaspar,...is that you in there??
