If I hear one more word about cutting taxes to stimulate the US economy I swear I am going to send the utterer a fax saying Shut the Hell up! Frankly, I am tired of this talk.
Just damn tired man.
I feel like I am living in the land of fools.
Plain fools, who cannot think their way out of a paper bag.
44% of the US - 15 million unemployed have been out of work for more than six months.
Of these, almost 2/3 have been unemployed for a year or more.
If you cannot relate to this, here is one little bit more piece of information - this is the highest the long term unemployment has ever been since the Great Depression.
Know what the previous highest was? 26%!! A whopping 18% lower than what we are seeing now.
And we still believe that this is going to be solved by tax cuts? We are out of our freaking minds.
All the GOP has to offer is tax cuts.
At least the Democrats saved the car manufacturers.
Aside from this, they are not much better themselves at coming up with solutions.
These people are living in their own heads.
The truth of the matter is this is not just a recession, no its not a depression either.
But for many what difference does it make? Being out of a job for a year or more with little prospect of getting one soon is disaster, no matter what name you call it.
The US economy is structurally broken and that is the problem.
Done in by this free trade farce and the demise of labor, it cannot bounce back in its current structure because it is just broken.
And quite frankly, I do not want to hear any more talk about tax cuts, stimulus program, job program or whatever.
Until I hear someone speaking about the fundamental problems with this economy, I do not want to hear it.
So please, Boehner, McConnell, Steele, Obama, Pelosi, Biden, stop wasting my time and shut the hell up! And go stimulate your brains.
