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!

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
