It Is Jobs, G*ddammit!

From the VOMITORIUM

As an intro…..the Congress has defeated another jobs bill…..a simple put people to work bill was killed by amendments that made it unusable…….I still say that this is all a plan to keep the economy in the tank until the 2012 election….if so….all the players need to be shot for their participation in this political game…..

If you are a political person then you will remember the election 0f 2010……how Dems were bad guys…Pelosi was a communist plant…….the Prez was a socialist….and jobs were issue number one…..the people voted for the Repubs to return our country to greatness and to put us back to work……and how has that worked out for you?

Since taking control of the House in January of 2011, how many jobs bills have the Repubs offered up?  In case you have been under a rock….the number of jobs bills offered is….ZERO!

We have heard them tackle abortion, ethanol, deficit and the national debt…..but not ONE of them is too concerned with jobs or it would have truly been more important.  And now we are bombarded with the legality of the Libyan mission…..granted I am opposed to the action and yes it needs to be explained but NOT as a major issue to divert people’s attention from their (GOP) disastrous Medicare proposal….they had Weiner’s weiner as a diversion and now that is gone they need another one…..and Libya is it!  And when that one is no konger politically advantageous they will move on to…….immigration.

My point is…..JOBS!  That should be foremost on anyone’s political agenda and once we go back to work then worry about the other crap….and yes, all the other is pure CRAP!

If there is a master plan here…..could it be to keep the economy in the toilet as much as possible for the next election?  Are they playing a political game with people’s lives?

IT’S Jobs G*DDAMMIT!  The politicians have lied to the voter…yet again….how many more times do you need to be f*cked before you look for a change…..and I mean a real change….not some smooth talking politician that promises and NEVER delivers….

The voter needs to wake up…..they are game pieces that are discarded when NO longer needed.  How long will the comatose population continue to go through the political game unaware of their absolute uselessness after voting?  Does the voter know how silly they look to observers?

Just a thought!

Finally! A Jobs Plan

After 14 months of being in power, the House has taken on all issues but the ONE they ran on….JOBS!  We know what they want to do to women….or what they will do to Medicare……and that they will NOT commend the Seals for their efforts to get Osama……and we definitely know what they think of the Prez health act…….but what about the jobs?

Your wait is over!  The Repubs now have a jobs plan…a real one and it is in print.   A Rather Sparse Jobs Plan……… look at it! ….read it and weep!  It is the most vague and worthless use of 10 pages of paper…..if we remove the clip art and reduce the size of the font….it would fit on a piece of toilet paper……(Now there is an idea)……..

But at least we NOW have a GOP plan…..and let the jobs begin!

Screw The Deficit!

This is a piece that I was reading on Buzzflash.com and thought that it would be a good post on my blog…..this person Richard Stitt is saying basically the same thing as I have been saying since January of 2011……I urge those who do not see the pressing necessity for a debt debate or a deficit debate to read Mr. Stitt commentary……an excellent piece……

Personally, I don’t see our country’s deficit as the most pressing priority. Although it didn’t take watching the History Channel’s startling revelation, The Crumbling of America, to convince me that rebuilding our infrastructure is an imminent priority, it did magnify the pending calamity which we have confined ourselves if we do nothing.

But, saying No to everything and doing nothing except tax cuts for their wealthiest election campaign contributors is exactly what Republicans want. Maybe they will wake up if we have a tsunami, a major earthquake and a Fukushima-like nuclear plant meltdown. But that would require preparation and attention to our collapsing infrastructure which would require siphoning tax dollars away from their benefactors like the billionaire Koch brothers.

Read the entire piece by Stitt…good read and good points……..blog.buzzflash.com//node/12605?ut…..

Like I have said…these are the things that average Americans are concerned with….BTW…GOP….Where are the jobs!

We Are Recovering!

Daily Agitator

Are tired of the spin yet?  Well, let us be honest and call it what it is…….LIES!

We hear daily that the economy is recovering….that the markets are up….that there are jobs being created (but at a slow rate) ……..corporate dividends are rising…….CEOs are making out like bandits……..yada…yada……but are we truly recovering?  According to many media outlets the recession has ended……but so far as I can see and I am not looking through rose colored glasses, it still sucks and many others are worse off than I…….

Let me see……8.9% unemployment with the real figure more like 19%……housing starts down to a 5 year low……home sales down…..foreclosures still rising……food prices up 6%…….gas prices rose by 4%….so what part of those figures look like a recovery is occurring?

OK, I will admit that if you can afford it and by it I mean investments, then you are in the middle of a recovery….but unfortunately, most Americans are NOT that heavily involved in the investing in stocks and bonds…..

But the American do not seem to see the recovery that the airwaves are reporting….

A new CNBC survey finds the percentage of Americans who believe the economy will get worse in the next year spiking to 37%, a 15 point gain from December. It’s now just five points below the all-time high of 43% in June 2008, which came in the midst of a surge in gasoline prices.

If you are an average middle class working family…..then you have NOT seen the recovery that those on Wall Street tell you that you are experiencing…….funny how that works……one part of society is doing fine and even maybe prospering and the other is stuck scratching out a living day to day, pay check to pay check…….

All the cheer leading for the economy is for those with cash to invest…..not you…your investments are such things as home payments, food, gas and the necessities….you have NO room for luxuries….what would you call this phenom?

American People Are Idiots! (They Can Be)

Tough talk, huh?  I apologize if this hurts your feelings or you are offended….but the statement stands!    I will explain why I say this…..and then maybe you could possibly understand that statement….unfortunately if they show the same mental deficiency they do as they vote…then I may be yelling at a wall….

We have for decades (and by we I mean the American voter as a whole)  voted on lies and misinformation and each time when the deception is exposed we just shut our minds to the idiocy of our ways and continue to be ignorant…….

Last election the American voter swept in a whole new bunch of liars….on the promises of an improving economy, most especially jobs…..after two months. ……name ONE bill offered that would possibly create a job……(pause here for the scratch of head and ass)…..you CANNOT!

AS an example, my state recently voted out a Rep that was given a 90% voting rating on middle class issues and voted into office a Repub that was kept away from interviews by his own campaign manager because he would make Nevada’s Sharron Angle look like a Mensa candidate…..but the voters bought all the crap about Dems and Pelosi stuff got rid of a guy that was actually voting WITH his constituency and their concerns and interests……how is that for idiocy?

Instead we have assaults on health care, abortion, unions, planned parenthood, NPR and the list goes on and on….all the work that is being done in Washington has absolutely NOTHING to do with jobs…..just the agenda they set decades ago and refuse to stray from the failed policies……..where are the jobs bills?

Then there is the threat of a government shut-down….where if the Dems and prez do not see it the way the Repubs want them to see it…then they will shut-down the government until their ideas are adopted or when there is a compromise in the Repubs favor……where would this create a job?  Just what part of a shut down would be beneficial to the economy?

Then we go to the states….all the hoopla over the attacks on unions (perceived or not) the threat by governors is to start laying off workers…..now….what part of that sounds like a job creating proposal?

The Americans people are idiots!  I repeat my original statement…..they voted for Repubs overwhelmingly because they were under the false assumption that they would improve the economy and thus would improve the livelihood of the American public…….each time Americans vote they prove my premise….they vote for lies and then they set about bitching about their public officials…..that is the height of stupidity……..what is even more stupid is that they will not look for an alternative…..they like being able to whine and blame the officials for their plight

So now I ask Americans…..are you pleased with the jobs being created….NO?  Tough crap!  You voted for these jerk wads now stop whining and live with your decisions….embrace your stupidity!  Take responsibility for the condition of the country and the a/holes that YOU elected…….

BTW, where are the jobs?

Are You Economically Confused?

Daily Agitator

If you do not have a degree in economics or finance and try to listen to the “experts” on TV then you are so confused that you would agree to anything just to get these people to shut the hell up……

For instance, the US gain 290,000 jobs in April but yet the unemployment rate went from 9.7% to 9.9%….if you gain jobs how does the unemployment rate get larger?  Easy if you listen to the “experts”……it seems that more people went back to looking for work because the jobs market is looking better……that is the official announcement……but if the people were unemployed in April and are looking for work then they are still unemployed…so how does the rate expand?  It is all in the metrics of the science…that would be the science of bullsh*t…….all reporting is that the “real” unemployment rate is more like 15+%….but yet they have come up with a way for the dismal unemployment rate to appear more optimistic……it is all for the investor to get them excited about using their cash……never is it about the true outlook of the recession….

If you feel totally confused, then you are what I call an average person and NONE of the economic reports are for you….NONE of the economic reports take your life into account……..remember….YOU ARE the back bone of this economy and if your life is in recession then the rest of the country is in recession…..the investors and speculators will ALWAYS make their money, whether you are employed or not…

The problem is that they are gambling with YOUR money…the cash of the taxpayers is used in this casino called Wall Street….
