Huge Win Yesterday For The 99%!

Last edited Thu Feb 16, 2012, 06:22 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)


Here's what will change as a result of the payroll tax cut "compromise" yesterday:

- Government workers will pay more from their paychecks to fund their pensions.
- Benefits for those @#$%ing unemployed freeloaders will be slashed from a maximum of 99 weeks to 73 weeks
- 1% doctors won't get their fees reduced by Medicare. They'll continue to make several times more than their counterparts in all other industrialized countries.

But in exchange for giving this away, the 99% won the following new benefits:


A well-negotiated compromise, congratulations to all of us!

Lucy take the football away from this DUmmie....

Since unemployment is at a record low of 8.3% why would anyone need unemployment benefits for 99 weeks?
 :-)

And those greedy ass doctors who want to actually get paid for their services, really the nerve of them.

The best and brightest just can't keep their lies straight when you ask those questions.  (Those of us with very little brain know enough not to lie and dissemble.  It is always easier to remember the plain un-varnished truth).

You will never see the above on the DUmp.  Too much truth.

All last week they were crowing that unemployment has gone down, now they are worried about unemployment benefits running out, how quick they forget their own talking points.  :-)

And what they forget to tell you, is this cost will be passed on to mortgage holders for the next 10 years with a 15 per a month fee added on.

State of the professional workers.

The lawyers and teachers want the doctors, programmers, and the engineers to be slaves.

And what they don't realize is that all those people forced (oh, the NERVE!) to start looking for work after their two year vacations will have to be counted in the workforce again, and the unemployment number as a result will go back up towards the 11-12 percent it really is.

Cutting our own throat: Obama wants $800 million for "Arab Spring" countries, military aid to Egypt
In this the U.S. is paying for the installation of Islamic supremacist pro-Sharia regimes that will deny the freedom of speech and freedom of conscience, institutionalize oppression of women and non-Muslims, and embark on a jihadist course vehemently and violently hostile to Israel and the U.S. "Obama proposes $800 million in aid for 'Arab Spring,'" by Susan Cornwell for Reuters, February 13:

WASHINGTON | Mon Feb 13, 2012 12:39pm EST (Reuters) - The White House announced plans on Monday to help "Arab Spring" countries swept by revolutions with more than $800 million in economic aid, while maintaining U.S. military aid to Egypt.
