Confused

the favorite thing for the current administration, and thier minions in the press (or is it the other way around?) is that we are in the worst economic times since the Great Depression. Can someone please explain this headline to me then?

U.S. jobless rate hits 25-year high

Once again, as I have been saying, things were worse following the Carter years, and if Mr. Obama keeps it up, then we can argue about who was worse, him or Jimmy Carter. I will NEVER defend the spending of Mr. Bush, so don't come with that.

Tax Cuts for the Rich???

One of my favorite things to debunk in the last eight years was the tax cuts for the rich meme. It was BS then, it is still BS. Here is an article, sent to me by a friend, that explains it much better than me.

Imagine, the 'rich' got a 12% cut, and the 'poor' 25% or more. Sure sounds like a cut for the rich to me!!

I even tried to explain it once to another friend, using simple numbers, and he still didn't get it, he still felt that the people who make the most money should pay way more than thier fair share, while the poor pay nothing, taking all the time. Insanity it is, insanity I say.

Oh, and now, the same crowd that was screaming about Bush and his cuts are mum when it comes to Mr. Obama and his tax hikes. Please people, think about this for a minute or two:

The Federal Governement makes about 30% on a gallon of gas, the oil companies make about 9% on a gallon of gas...who is gouging us?

Explanation of sorts

Hey dear readers, all 20 of you. Sorry for the dearth of posts, it is that time of year when I am so busy my head wants to explode. Add to that the tiresome nature of posting bad news all the time and I just don't feel up to even coming here. I will try the positive stuff again, I know, i have tried this before and it didn't work, but what the heck, life is full of repeats, just read the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and compare it to the United...oh, drat, positive, positive, positive!

I saw The Dead over the weekend, awesome show, really, better than some of the last shows with Jerry, RIP, on point and jammin'. Warren is a great fit, and the rst of the band are playing like they are only 40 or so!

Swine flu, I was right about that one, stop panicking, it is over before it started. I am also tiring of the doom and gloom on both sides of the political aisle.

Good riddance to Arlen, he jumped parties to get elected once before, and here he is doing it again. Google Ira Einhorn to learn how left leaning Arlen really is...

Okay, that is all for now, off to the library and to bid a job, in the rain!
