After this coming election, I think that whatever is in store for us
by our corporate masters will certainly be in place and we won't have to wonder where this country is headed anymore. I just read where Obama is considering indentured servitude as his plan to "fix" unemployment. That took the rest of the wind out of my sails.
Right now, it feels like we are getting tag-teamed by republicans with a reciprocal Obama reacharound.
I kept hoping that SOMEONE would step forward to stop this madness....but it doesn't look like they will...which tells me that it is too late in the game.
We are truly ****ed.

How about an update on that slutty daughter? Or the move from the single-wide into an abandoned farmhouse? It's really inconsiderate to start those storylines, and then just drop them. It's as bad as the Russian in the Pine Barrens episode.

1. Stop the insanity is right
But even here, so many are blinded by bullshit and a pleasing smile.
We are truly ****ed, and have been so for some time now.
Well, DUmmy upinumbers, I guess you didn't vote for the messiah?

3. Here's what's in store for America's middle class.
Continued currency debasement that will turn their salaries into poverty level wages.
That is how the wealthy fascists are going to turn this country into a third world fascist regime.

9. I supposedly have one of the "good jobs"
but...a friend of mine is an RN at a major Dallas hospital, who less than 10 years ago, had no less than 40-50 openings a month come up.
Another friend, who is an RN, lost her job due to cutbacks. She asked the first friend if this major hospital had any GOOD jobs open. Friend replied by saying that there had been a hiring freeze for the last few months. When people left, positions weren't being refilled.
Now...are we to assume that a major transplant/trauma center in Dallas, TX all of the sudden doesn't need employees?
Or is it because more people are uninsured, more people are underinsured, or the hospital knows that they have their employees FEARFUL of losing their jobs and that makes a more compliant workforce?
I don't know the answer, but I find it quite frightening for my profession.
There isn't a hospital within 150 miles of where I live that is hiring RN's. That simply terrifies me.
Lots of jobs 10 years ago. Hmm. Who was in office back then?
DUmmy Horse with no Brain knows there will always be a market for dick inspectors. It's been called the world's oldest profession.

4. Yep. No need to worry even now. The Fix is In....
and we are wholly, deeply and truly screwed.
You aren't only merely screwed, you're really most sincerely screwed.

5. During the darkest times in the Bu$h years I always had the hope that if the Dems
returned to power, we'd get back on track and begin to move in a positive direction.
Careful, DUmmy. Better men than you have been tombstoned for mentioning the Great Bush Prosperity.

8. Wages haven't been so low since 1955, profits not so high since 1950
I read this morning. No wonder you're thinking about Ike.
I wonder poor, stupid Beth's source for that information. Maybe the Old Farmers' Almanac.

6. I'm watching how things unfold between now and Jan 1, 2012. He will either deliver on his speech...
...or not. After all, he allegedly needs no interaction with Congress in order to enact his changes.
I'm guessing...not.

11. Forget the bridge, Frenchie, but start thinking "barricades..."
Sorry, DUmmy villager, DUmp democrats are way too lazy to build barricades.
