Mitt Romney finally has a GREAT idea.

Guys, guys. Of course the two are stupid. Who with a brain would really want to become the president? Talk about a thankless job.

Face it the powers that be would NEVER let a truly intelligent patriot that actually cares about the nation run for president. That man or woman may actually start looking at what is going and and try to fuck up the nice little game they have going on.

As my dad use to say, "Democrats or Republicans, it doesn't matter. It is just different pigs at the trough".

everything is moving along according to their plan.

the progressive policies enacted post WWII enabled labor to make great achievement in closing the gap between them and capital. since the late 70's and 80's those policies have all been dismantled and no longer exist and new policies passed to permanently subjugate labor.

what if instead of a single president we had a panel of smart people that brought different strengths? the job is a lot more complicated than it used to be. seems an insane task for one man and no matter who we pick everyone ends up hating them.

 

[Little Wing]

been crazy busy today but wondered if Mitt was joking how mad he might be at that reporter. the story really did him a huge disservice he did not need by omitting it was a joke if it was. it was written as if he was just dumb.

That's the six years exphys88 is talking about. For six of Clinton's eight years as President, Republicans controlled Congress. exphys88 asked what the country was like after Clinton's eight years and nobody's answered him yet.

with the exception of a couple of years of wage growth for most during the tech boom years the majority of the growth of the economy since the 80's has been from debt and not real income growth. in 2008 US household hit the debt level of 100% of GDP, it has never really been much higher than 50% historically.

the "fake" economy and housing boom was the result of 100% legislation and not supply and demand and the entire growth of GDP in the 2000's was from mortgage related debt.

 

[heckler7]

how about an idea on fixing the economy? when are we gonna hear that one?

 

[oufinny]

More unions and more progressive taxes according to what LAM always like to tout. Kidding aside, he posted a few very good ideas about a month ago that I actually think will really help. No way corporate lobbyists will ever let them happen though.

it's not what I say it's what the empirical data collected by the economists at the OECD over the last 40 years in 130+ country's states...

Yet you never EVER hear any of it referenced in print media or via TV anywhere. Actually, outside of the Economist I haven't heard shit at all.

Romney: Teacher contributions to politicians should be limited - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

this is so fucking stupid and laughable i almost put it in the funny pictures thread.
conflict of fucking interest... what an ignorant asshole.

 

[Little Wing]

i guess hypocrite would have been an appropriate description for Romney whining that donors might stir up a little conflict of interest. maybe he AND his VP choice are simply running on pure hypocrisy.

Ayn Rand Railed Against Government Benefits, But Grabbed Social Security and Medicare When She Needed Them | Alternet
Her books provided wide-ranging parables of "parasites," "looters" and "moochers" using the levers of government to steal the fruits of her heroes' labor. In the real world, however, Rand herself received Social Security payments and Medicare benefits under the name of Ann O'Connor (her husband was Frank O'Connor).

they are all hypocrites, every last one of them.

but as Homer Simpson says "Marge it takes two people to lie, one to tell it and other to believe it."
