i can already see that the new recession is coming my work is geting slower when it should be the beginning of the busy season nobody is spending i dont ear about buying those big lcd tv’s or car nothing
I thought it was hilarious that the video begins with a commercial for Goldman Sachs, selling their mutual funds – and somehow trying to link themselves with a poor hard-working teacher.
Goldman Sachs investment strategy for their mutual funds consists of taking management fees until the money runs out, then getting a government bail-out.
Palin the “pain in” is an example of the promotion of style over substance.
This has been taken to the “Nth” degree in the industry, and company, I work for. You see it everywhere. Style trumps substance much of the time.
Why? Because substance is hard, really really hard!! So the easy way is to be stylish.
There are a few substantive people, and they do all the work. Everything else is fluff.
Palin is all fluff, as others here have so well pointed out.
This post is all fluff!
What? nails the landing.
Palin has played your progressive media advocates for the chumps they are…
But she may not run.
Rom Paul/Cain would be a great ticket, one that will stop the wars and roll back government so America can recover from progressive gangsters…
AND we need to make sure Bobbo gets on the voucher program.
I fail to see how ending three wars, cutting the military budget, taxing the wealthy, and removing illegals will be bad for the economy.
Hey Alfie–I got it the first time. If you weren’t so self involved, you would recall I’ve posted several times that “I never get sick” which is almost totally true. ONe of god’s blessings to the heathens.
On the Dr Death thread, you should also infer that I don’t plan on wasting away in any hospital bed at my end of life. No. Think I’ll volunteer to clean up Nuclear Power Sites. Least I can do to make up for all the tv I watch–whether I’m awake or not. Care to join me?
#19, dead on, the rich ALWAYS are looking for ways of stealing your money, been beat with that stick so many times! Anyone that believes that bullshit TEAD is spouting deserves to eat dog food, it has always been my wealthiest clients that tried to shove their fat dicks in my ass, the only difference nows is they don’t use K-Y, that would cost them their precious money. What a perfect read about how the stock market being a playground for the TARP funds, no help for the working man, and TEAD, it seem to me that we Americans were better off DURING times we had regulation, RR just fucked us good with dereg, covert wars, etc. And Palin, what a money grubbing bitch, her and Bachmann haven’t got a flea’s fart worth of intelligence combined!
#29–head instead of ass==nicely refreshing to find an express vote of agreement. But there are more than the brain festering TEAdud here who equate taxing the Super Rich (ie–not even themselves) with some kind of slavery (ie–what they don’t recognize they vote for every two years when voting the PUKE ticket). Yep, just that blinded by LIES and DOGMA. Sad that. Some are ever liberal on other social issues but they have an undifferentiated view of the political process.
Silly hoomans.
Um Alfie, you do know that Paul Revere wasn’t British, right?
#30 Buffet, Gates, Jobs, BP, Goldman Sacs, GE (the list is endless) are all Obama supporters.
This complete contradiction to your theories doesn’t concern you…you don’t wonder “why…how could that be…”
Let me sum it up for you, regulation HELPS those already in power, they are grandfathered in while any new competition is prevented from opening by said regulation.
AND as their wealth is already made, any increase in the Tax rates serves to deprive potential competitors of the capital needed to succeed.
Established brands were never the major fount of NEW jobs in our economy, it was new business.
Because progressives have turned the business world upside down and inside out with new regulations and union and lawyer advocacy at every level, from financing to EPA…
New business creation has stopped.
The Bush tax cuts stopped working their “magic” in 2007, when regulation stopping economic growth reached a tipping point…and that ill effect on job creation grew stronger with every new change in the rules authored by Big Government.
We won’t return to a job creating economy until we shrink government, roll back the power of the bureaucrats to stop business from growing.
Crony capitalists won’t like that, but the new job creating businesses will rise up to compete with them, forcing better product and service out of them, and creating new products and services for the consumer.
I know this reality will have no effect on your diatribe against Free Markets…on your digging your own grave supporting the very people who robbed Medicare and Social Security of their funds, and left behind IOUs and a collapsing economy…
But I thought it worth a try.
#11, Alphie,
Its easy to cut government, just love country instead of self.
Spoken like any true America hater. WE ARE the government. WE THE PEOPLE. All Americans, not the uber rich.
You ignore that WE THE PEOPLE don’t want businesses to have free reign. We don’t want their garbage dumped into the air or streams. We don’t want toxic chemicals in our drinking water. We don’t want lead in our children’s toys. We don’t want people on our roads drunk. We don’t want employees dieing or being injured because safety measures aren’t in some billionaire’s interest.
In short, WE THE PEOPLE want regulations.
#33 You are Canadian, which economy is actually freer than ours…and forces loosing attorneys pay for the harm they caused by phoney lawsuits…therefore Canada’s economy is growing.
The majority of our country DOES want a free market…we are center right country.
Obama fooled the electorate into believing he was centrist, and his leftist regime has been ruling against the will of the majority for some time now.
only recently were we able, through a new Congress, to slow him down…but he is still going full speed ahead under the radar, via his czars and regulatory bodies.
He is destroying our economy, I suspect on purpose.
I think he is smart enough to know he is destroying the country.
Our problem are folks like you,left lunatics who actually believe in his programs, that they are good for the country…
So his super majority sealed this country’s fate…
A Depression now seems inevitable, thanks to you lunatics who wouldn’t allow reality affect your doctrinaire approach to everything.
#34 All us Canadians want to let our American friends know that we are not trying to systematically destroy your country. Although we do want our hockey teams back.
And as a sign of open disclosure, we want you to know that Alfie has been seen in public.
But there is an Obama problem there, and it’s always gotten in the way. He really dislikes the other side, and can’t fake it. This is peculiar in a politician, the not faking it…
Barack Obama is different, not a political practitioner, really, but something else, and not a warm-blooded animal but a cool, chill character, a fish who sits deep in the tank and stares, stilly, at the other fish.
He doesn’t know how to confuse his foes with “outreach,” with phone calls, jokes, affection. He doesn’t leave them saying, as Reagan did, “I just can’t help it, I like the guy.” And because he can’t confuse them or reach them they more readily coalesce around their own explanation of him: socialist, destroyer.
This isn’t good, and has had an impact on the president’s contacts with Republicans. And it’s added an edge to an emerging campaign theme among them. Two years ago I wrote of Clare Booth Luce’s observation that all presidents have a sentence: “He fought to hold the union together and end slavery.” “He brought America through economic collapse and a world war.” You didn’t have to be told it was Lincoln, or FDR. I said that Mr. Obama didn’t understand his sentence. But Republicans now think they know it.
Four words: He made it worse.
Obama inherited financial collapse, deficits and debt. He inherited a broken political culture. These things weren’t his fault. But through his decisions, he made them all worse.-Peggy Noonan

The only problem with ending the wars is that in the grander scheme of the deficit, they are a drop in the bucket. The wars (not including Libya) represent about 70 B. The deficit is 1400 B and growing. I’m all for bringing our troops home as soon as possible, but if people think that it will solve our deficit woes, they are mistaken.
# 31 foobar said,

Far be it from me to defend Alfie, but this is technically not true. It depends on the date of evaluation. He was clearly born a British subject because he was born prior to the founding of the US in a British colony. He was 43 when the US was recognized by another country as an independent nation. Even from the date of the Declaration of Independence, he spent slightly more of his life as British subject than as an American (it’s actually almost exactly 1/2 and 1/2).
Thomas, quite correct. I acknowledge the Buddha within.
Why don’t the congressional Republicans prove they can REALLY cut spending, by taking a cut to their lavish, inflation compensated, salaries? The buck cutting should start with those who determine they’re own pay levels. And then proceeded with the elimination of “Earmarks”. But you know, neither of those are gonna happen. The Republicans in congress only want cut, whatever spending the Democrats put their names to. Whatever the Republican spend, is God Damn golden! As in Sacred Cow.
#37 Inconsistent, you don’t run your own life as you evidently suppose Government should.
If some said, “no sense going to work now, you won’t get paid till Friday and that doesn’t put money in your pocket today, you would laugh at them.”
So we shouldn’t begin cutting wasteful spending because it doesn’t solve the problem right away.
We should drill for oil because it will take years for the supply to be available.
Good thing farmers plant even though it takes months before the crop can be harvested.
