Stimulate the Economy
Watching the news tonight they were talking about yet another ‘stimulus package’. What a waste of Tax dollars.
The problem is….There are no jobs. You can throw all the money at the banks and the car companies and the mortgage companies that you want, it still isn’t going to employ the millions of people on unemployment, who’s benefits are running out.
Building a McDonald’s is not stimulating the economy. It is not creating jobs. Something that pays minimum wage is not going to help people get by. I make twice minimum wage and can barely get by. And I’m eating eggs and Mac and cheese. I buy used tires for my car, I don’t leave lights on in the house, I don’t have cable TV, or a land line telephone.
The bottom line is we need to STOP sending all our jobs over seas. We need Factory’s, we need industry. That is what will stimulate the economy. We need GOOD jobs for our country, not waitressing jobs that get you home with 20 dollars in tips. We need production.
Honestly, I blame George W. Bush for a lot of this. He is the one who was so busy playing God that he forbid us from moving forward in the science department. If we would have jumped on the stem cell and cloning boats, we would be years ahead of the rest of the world. it would have created HIGH paying research jobs. It would have boosted the economy in so many areas, we would have been pulling out of this recession by now. But instead, GWB, in all his infinite wisdom damned us to this depression. Now, Obama is busy trying to run around like a chicken with his head cut off to fix it, and he’s obviously not very good at it.
If we can’t have industry, give us science. Get us to Mars. Clone my cat. Grow arms in pituri dishes. Do SOMETHING! People need to be employed. THAT will stimulate the economy.
Now, A brief word from Lewis Black, and his idea on the situation…
I’m THIS close to standing outside a Home Depot asking ‘Trabajo?’. I’ll gladly take part in building a big fuckin thing.

They’re throwing money at the banks and mortgage companies because that’s what the banks and mortgage companies want. They’ve got this country held hostage and it’s freaking pathetic at how easily and cheaply the politicians have sold their soul to make a few dollars while the majority of this country suffers from their decisions.

This is one of the reasons that we went to go fight the ‘War on Terror.’ The more money that our government has to spend, the more money the banks make because our government has to ‘borrow’ everything that we get. Which is why I ‘preach’ about the evils of a Central Bank System, which is what we have. It’s unconstitutional and just down right EVIL. It’s one of the main reasons that we fought

for independence. We couldn’t get out from under the financial tyranny of England. We were having to borrow ALL of our money from them which was doing nothing but making our debt grow and grow. The same thing that is happening now. Until we can get out from under the dark side of the banks, our country will always have a ‘War on Terror.’ The End.
