I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE AN INFORMED PROGRESSIVE...WITH A GOOD GRASP OF MACROECONOMICS...
BUT I SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT A "JOBS BILL" IS IN THIS CONTEXT... NAMELY THE CONTEXT OF A STRUCTURALLY COLLAPSED ECONOMY...
THE NOTION THAT THERE IS SOME "RECOVERY" HAPPENING IS NONSENSE...
THE FED BAILOUTED OUT THE INVESTMENT BANKING SYSTEM TO THE TUNE OF TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS...AFTER IT LOOTED THE ECONOMY TO THE POINT OF COLLAPSE...
AND THE FED GOT VIRTUALLY NOTHING FOR IT...EXPECT A TEMPORARY REBOUND IN THE STOCK BUBBLE... SO, THE INSIDERS AND ELITES COULD CASH OUT...
AS THE GOOGLE FOUNDERS RECENTLY DID...
OTHER THAN THE RE-FLATION OF THE PAPER ASSET BUBBLES THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SUGGEST THAT THE US IS "RECOVERING" FROM ANYTHING...NOT A SHRED OF EVIDENCE...
ALL THE STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS...FROM HEALTH CARE TO THE TWIN DEFICITS ARE STILL THERE...AND GETTING WORSE...NOT BETTER...
WHAT IS MOST DISTURBING IS THAT THE REPUBLICANS...THE PARTY OF NO...JUST DON'T SEEM TO GIVE A SHIT...
AND EVEN MORE DISTURBING...THE "STUPIDS" IN FLY OVER COUNTRY...SUPPORT THE REPUBLICANS...!!
THERE IS NO HOPE...NONE...!!
