World stocks down

It would appear that the rest of the world agrees with my assessment of the usefulness/likely effectiveness of the economic stimulus package Bush is proposing. Those with money in stocks should probably be glad that our markets are closed today. Perhaps with a little distance, we can avoid the 400+ point hit that was likely to happen here if we had been open for business today.

Is there still anyone out there who thinks it is a good idea to have the Gross Old Perverts party in charge of the economy? (of course there are. They are the willfully blind people that we call "republicans")

It is amazing how well our economy is doing when run by those that think business should be given a free hand. The market will correct itself and correct itself it is, to the detriment of those already in need at the hand of the money grabbing capitalists who apparently in this new century don't know what the f%@#$ they are doing.

Of course, a really capabile business man is at the helm. What do you/they/we expect?

It's easy to forget that it used to be a boast of his worshippers that Dumbya was "the CEO President." They dress well, are on time, and run the country in the style of Ken Lay. That's what they must have meant.

And now that platform goes to Romney.

365 days from today!

But Bush has a plan, and evidently some Democrats like it. The plan is to give us all a few hundred bucks that we can spend at Walmart to stimulate the economy. Only thing is, with the average American household credit card debt around $8,000 and with mortgage and car payments overdue, the tax rebate is likely to go to the bankers for stuff already bought. I guess you could say it's like throwing money down a black hole, except it's a red one.

Your money

Submitted by gonzone on Tue, 2008/01/22 - 12:08pm.

Once again, repeat after me, you can't trust Republicans with your money.

You can't expect good government from a party who thinks government is the problem, not the solution, either.

Why, oh why do people continue to fall for the same old lies from the same old liars time after time? Reminds me of the young girls always falling for the bad boys who were guaranteed to get them into trouble but they had some irresistible attraction to self destruction.

There's only one solution to our current fiscal situation, the same one applied by FDR, Truman and Eisenhower. We've got to tax the hell out of the very wealthy and use the money to pay for infrastructure improvements, green energy solutions, and universal health care. The "wealth gap" is a sure sign of a society headed to ruin. As in "the least of these."
