Yay. Live on a run-down council estate with equally deviant people, send your kids to an atrocious comprehensive where they'll learn how to sniff glue and steal cars, drink yourself into oblivion and a painful, early grave on White Lightening, learn how to read The Sun without a single thought passing through your grey matter, discover how to appreciate the finer things in life like two for one deals at Asda on pizza and chicken-fkn-kiev, spend your days watching endless repeats and daytime 'chat' shows about the mysteries of mortgages and holidays, live hand to mouth(s), play the lottery as if your life depended on it, wake up each morning dreading you'll be caught, fined and sent to jail for fraud while your children are put in care in a home locally known as pedo's paradise, have the highlight of your week not getting a red bill, finding that your electricity has been cut off as you're considered 'high risk' and thus you have a meter which means your electricity is now more expensive and you're always running out of 50p pieces at 2am when your toddler is awake with a cough that your eldest brought home from school because the parents of the kids at her school are too drunk to take them to the doctor,
etc.
Quote from kxvid:
Someone once said "You cannot create wealth by dividing it". What does Obama think? That he can be the 21st century version of Roosevelt?
Roosevelt was dealing with much different scenarios and the capitalist world economy was much different then. Globalism was much less developed, outsourcing was unheard of. There were no problems of "dollarization". The US economy was not 78.6% service based, rather it was the manufacturing center of the world. This was largely due to the destruction of the means of production in Europe after WWII.
A different problem requires a different prescription. I realize it is hard to fix the structural problems in an economy. The free market will readjust itself to the new productive (IE: profitable) enterprises if left alone. Non productive yet worthy enterprises such as alternative energy is where the spending should be directed. Spending on bailouts and extending unemployment checks is a total waste of resources.
Quote from spades434:
Now that was a literary masterpiece !!!!! Great job of explaining a day in the life of an ever increasing percentage of the world's population.
Now, back to the jobs deal.
This is getting ridiculous. These folks in charge act like they have absolutely ZERO common or business sense. It's not about simply creating "jobs". It's about creating a sustainable work environment. This can only be done by manufacturing a real product.
To hell with all this bullshit about created or saved...a job here, a job there. I can create a damn job just like the gov't does. It's "shovel ready" too. I got some ditches to dig, and I'll supply the shovel. And once the ditches are dug, the jobs expire. Then what? We keep getting the same irresponsible crap out of the WH and Congress, day after day.
Until they bring back the real "jobs", that have been outsourced and shipped overseas, I'll continue the self-sufficient preparations for when this whole house of cards collapses.
