Why are people thinking Obama can magically create jobs out of this air.

Once upon a time, being a career politician was a vaunted position, something to aspire to.

I just wonder if there's a revolution in our future? When most of the wealth continues to be accumulated by the few, the majority of people are going to get sick and tired of the greed of those who continue to take the wealth while sharing bits and pieces with the throng.

These are the products that produces revolutions; it's only a matter of time -
Most are unhappy with our governments, and the loss of security (jobs and homes) will only anger more people for a longer period of time. Something is going to burst.

Listen Mr. One eyed Rat... All you need to understand me is the desire, and no amount of perfection of writing will provide that on your end...

Bull ****. Laziness. You know how to do it right, you just can't be bothered, for some reason. Why? You actually waste more time doing it wrong than you would spend doing it the right way, and what you write would be much more legible and accessible.

You are very critical in your posts of the government, of various entities of modern society, of lots of things - but if you can't be bothered to send your message in a legible fashion, why should anyone give a **** what you have to say?

Nonsense. Things were pretty much the same throughout the history of the country.

in a sense they already have.....the great recession was caused by the financial system blowing up, as no one was willing to trust that the other guy had both the ability and the willingness to honor a deal, so the system froze up. If it is found that the secularization of mortgages was not done legally because the paperwork was never legal, and all of those deals are not transparent because the legal system is going to have to unwind them which will take years, then we will be in another round of nobody being able to trust the other guy because nobody will know how the balance sheets are going to turn out. As it is because the banks failed to do their jobs correctly a lot of property is in limbo, property that needs to get foreclosed and sold so that we can finally turn the corner on the real estate deflation.

Obama's number one job was to get a new financial system in place, something that people could believe in. He did not hardly even try.

Obama's second job was to protect the well being of Americans during this transition by supplying stop gap jobs to the most in danger families. He spent a lot of money on programs that he claimed were about this job, but in reality he barely tried.

And today Obama runs around proclaiming that he has a communication problem with the american people. Bull ****....he has a priorities problem, a values problem, a competence problem.

If the government were to stop this stuff, then the right would be whooping and hollering even more than they do now. That the government does not stop this crap from being produced might be a sign that it is a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Pharma.

Nonsense. Things were pretty much the same throughout the history of the country. They got worse whenever political forces left members of Congress in office for decades at a time. The"solid south" of decades ago expanded its political power by electing only Democrats and leaving them in office for decades - thus they ended up controlling a disproportionate number of key committees in both House and Senate. This was how they resisted civil rights legislation for so long. Later both Democrats and Republicans became adept at misusing powers under the voting rights act to gerrymander safe districts for themselves, whenever they were in control of the House or state legislatures. Becauser they held majorities longer and in more states, the Democrats were far more successful in this corruption, but that wasn't because the Republicans weren't trying.

When little is produced domestically, and wages are driven into the dirt, and absolutely nothing happens without loans taken, and interest paid, then what profit there is, and finance accounts for eighty percent of it, takes away from the purchacing power of the market until nothing is bought except on credit until all the wealth available is sucked out of the society

that is not what was said in the talking points...the claim was that we would make our money on the stock market and in other investments. We would have the Koreans/Chinese et all make low tech stuff for 1/3 the cost of what we could at home so that we could be lots of low priced crap, we would lead the world in high tech/high wage jobs and the rest of the schmucks would be investors on the side to make up for the low wage of service jobs. The idea that stocks would not perpetually increase in value far above the inflation rate, or that foriegners could do high tech too never seemed to cross any ones mind. So now we have a stock market that individuals distrust so much that they are rapidly taking all their money out of it, a high tech industry that is getting killed by those who do it better (the Germans, Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and, and,and) and the manufactuing jobs are long gone.

That was one hell of a plan.

.. the Democrats were far more successful in this corruption

So rare a complement from you... Thank you... I trust I am not an idiot in the classic sense... You do suggest a contemporary meaning, n'est pas???

Not a plan... Free enterprise is not an economic system... It is economic anarchy... No body thought it out...
