Double-dip recession?


It's nonsense to think of the economy heading downward again into a double-dip recession when most Americans never emerged from the first dip. We're still in one long Big Dipper. More people are out of work today than were last year, counting everyone too discouraged even to look for work. Not since the government began to measure the ups and downs of the business cycle has such a deep recession been followed by such anemic job growth. Jobs came back at a faster pace in March 1933 after the economy started to "recover" from the depths of the Great Depression. And the Great Depression continued. That's exactly my point. The Great Recession continues. The only question is when it becomes known as The Great Depression II. And the Repubs, who caused it, wanna get voted back in? You gotta be kidding. Are the sheep really that stupid?

You gotta remember, when someone mentions that THEY were in charge, for the 8 years before The Great Depression II, they get a little defensive, before they come up with, Wellll, Carter did this, and there were some Dems on a certain subcommitte annnddd, Clinton got a blowjob, SOOOO, it's not our fault. Same ol' shit...

And now it's the Obamas who are getting the flak for vacations in Maine, Spain, and now the Gulf, along with Bo the dog. Listen, Teapots, Barack doesn't have the Western Whitehouse as Reagan had, or Kennebunkport as Bush Sr. had, or the Texas ranch as Dubya had or Cape Cod as Kennedy had. So Barack and family travel, like most folks do when they vacation, but like ALL former prezs they still have/had secret service and planes, all paid via taxpayers. Just a tiny reminder, Michelle hasn't replaced all the china in the Whitehouse at taxpayer expense, as Nancy Reagan did...uh..huh!
