3 things and I'm going to have a beer [View All]

1) The economy is going nowhere. No fucking where. Do you want to know why? What were the causes of this crisis? A bad banking system and a jump in the price of gasoline.

Has the banking system been fixed? What is the price of gasoline? What happens to the price of gasoline every time there is improvement in the economy? Give you a hint, the price goes up and the banking system is insolvent with overvalued assets sitting on their books at historical values.

Common sense, have we fixed the problem that caused us to be where we are at? No, therefore it must be assumed we aren't going anywhere.

On a side note, I'll give you a hint on why gas cost so much. Part of it is peak oil. The other part is back in the days we had No Fly Zones in Iraq, Saddam Hussein was cheating OPEC. That is right, he was cheating the OPEC rules to get himself more money. When we invaded Iraq, we took care of that little problem for OPEC. Don't know if we did it intentionally or not because we are stupid as a country sometime, and George was one of our more stupid occupiers of that office. Either way, OPEC is now working again as a team, probably in reaction to us invading Iraq. They can starve us to death. So I do not blame equation item number 2 on the President, but he sure as hell could send a message by enforcing the known regulations on a few bad guys from AIG or Lehman or Ernst & Young to do equation item #1 in this economic mess.


2) The US congress is incapable of tying their own fucking shoes right now. They couldn't pass a bill with 12 months and super majorities in one party. Why are they inept, because they are fucking greedy and out of touch to what is going on outside of Washinton D.C. There are a few who know what is going on, but the majority of them are greedy idiots, and it isn't a partisan thing.


3) The Healthcare reform bill makes no frakking sense. You have told me for years that the problem is private insurers doing all kinds of shenanigans is the cause for the health care problem in this country, and your answer to this problem is to mandate everyone to buy private insurance? Are you kidding me. Spare me the regulation talk, the government can't even enforce the existing regulations on thieving bankers because the regulators are inept, corrupt, or a little of both and people hate the banks with a burning passion.
