Politics as Usual
The American political system is completely dedicated towards keeping the public as ill informed as possible. We are in an age of permanent campaigning. The result of which is no cooperation or attempt for compromise between Conservatives and Liberals, Democrats and Republicans. All decisions are based upon where the money is coming from, not by reality or need. The public is not served wel…
Like it or not, the US must socialize its health care system.
Of the variables that cause inflation to rise faster and handicaps American companies in the global economy, health care is the easiest one to deal with. The cost of health care for retirees and current workers is one of the greatest burdens the US places directly into the hands of our businesses. This burden is always passed on in the form of higher priced goods which is not a good thing whe…
Proposals to fix the economy!
The key to economic recovery is job creation. Only people that feel secure in their employment spend money in the amounts needed to keep our economy afloat. With unemployment rising, spending money that may be needed to keep your house would be reckless. Sales can’t go up without a decline in unemployment. Job loss is the biggest hindrance to the mortgage crisis, refinancing your home doesn…
Economic Stimulus Requirements
Any economic stimulus package that places money into the hands of corporate America will fail. There is no way on Earth you can trust the greedy bastards that lined their own pockets at our expense to get us out of the economic mess they engineered. It is only by some form of liberal spending agenda that we can emerge from this mess, and there are way too few people with available cash to spe…
Boycott Anti-Christian Movement, a bad idea!
Virgil Jones wrote a journal entry encouraging the Boycotting of PBS for the airing of a program he found offensive because he misinterpreted the data being aired.: That is within his right. He decided to edit the comments made by myself and others that pointed out a problem with his re…
History of Conservative Caused Doom!
The best idea Henry Ford had was not using the assembly line to make cars. If you make cars that are expensive, you have to sell them at a very high price to the very rich. The rich did not get rich by spending money, and cars that don’t hold their value well are not sought out by them. There was not going to be a huge enough demand for cars unless they could be sold at a cheaper price. The…
Ponzi Schemes and How Conservatives Are Duped Into Believing They Work
Were conservative values satisfied by Reagan’s Piss on Those Lower Than Yourself, or Spread Manure not Money policy (he called it “Trickle Down”)? I think not. In order for that theory to work, benevolent employers would spread wealth throughout their companies. Instead of that happening, greed dominated corporate America. Ponzi scheme after Ponzi scheme played out as a company shifted manu…
Values
I am tired of hearing about the virtue of family values. How dare anyone that has been married, divorced and remarried but claiming to be a fine Christian (aside from the violation of his oath to remain faithful and loyal until death to the first wife) tell me I am not a moral person because I don’t worship his or any other god. I have been married to my wife for over 33 years and see no rea…
Does the Rise of Sarah Palin Hint of the "End Times"?
I wish I had the luxury to think that religious nut cases are not any real threat to the US. With the rise of Sarah Palin to such a prominent place within the Republican party, I can’t afford to be so blind any longer. The religious right and their desire to be with Jesus above all else is a threat to all life on the planet.
I have heard too many people talking about all the signs in the…
Simplified Economics and How We Got Here!
Conservative economists like to think that the economy is driven by wealthy people pumping money into the stock market so that businesses can use it to create more money for them. That is pure BS. The economy is really driven by the hordes of middle income people, provided they are able to make sufficient funds to buy nonessential items. The rich only buy a very limited amount of things and …
