It looks like Obama turned out to be a Uncle Tom to corporate america in spite of what the self righteous tv heads had to say.
Is Ralph Nader running? I just got a sudden urge to vote for him.

Re: From Hooverville to Obamaville The Destruction of America
What will most differentiate the Hoovervilles of the 1930s from the Obamavilles of today is that, while Hoovervilles were primarily squatter communities of tramps, hobos, and other transients, the Obamavilles of the 21st century will be recognizable as overcrowded family homes wherein the family’s grown children… along with spouses and children… will move in with parents and grandparents lucky enough to be without a monthly mortgage payment.

Literally everything that Obama has done since occupying the White House in January 2009 has taken the nation toward economic malaise. As a living, breathing composite of everything Democrats have stood for since the dawn of the New Deal, he has not been a job creator, he has been a job killer and blue collar Democrats are finally waking up to what a horrible mistake they have made.

For example, from the time he first set foot in the U.S. Senate until the present day, Obama has supported three major increases in the minimum wage. Dr. Walter J. Wessels of North Carolina State University, a leading expert in labor-management relations, has found that for every 10 percent rise in the minimum wage, the overall number of jobs available decreases by as much as 2 percent. The impact on entry-level jobs is even greater. For each 10 percent increase in the minimum wage, Dr. Wessels finds a decrease in minimum wage jobs of from 4 to 5 percent.

Ok, Moron, where were during the Bush years? Quit blaming Obama for the same shit that was going on when Bush was president. If anything, you'd think you'd idiots would realize there's only so much a president can do. There is a congress too. Get your head out of your ass and see the system as a whole as being screwed up and quit blaming Obama.

Re: From Hooverville to Obamaville The Destruction of America
The past few years have proved that the Keynes model of economics is wrong and should no longer be taught. He wanted to stear the markets in the direction he thought was best for the greater good....sound familier?
 Quoting: therealAC


Not that I am defending the idea but the government was never Keynesian. Yes the government went deficit spending in bad time but also went deficit spending in good times. Besides the government has been quite insane for a long time. The combination of eliminating Glass Stegall and forcing lenders to lend to unqualified home owners as well as allowing rating agencies to rate toxic collateralized mortgage obligations on these bad loans as AAA has gotten us into this current mess. It's a psychopathic system.

Ron Paul is required.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 782966


I concur with your initial asessment. Not to dump the whole truckload on Obama. Starting with Reagan spending began cranking up. Reagan outspent the soviets on military spending and the Dem congress increased domestic. GB got smacked with the 1st Gulf War, and more Dem congress spending. Clinton gutted the military and increased domestic until stopped by a Rep congress. GW...well he had 9/11, Iraq, Afghan, and Katrina to deal with plus the abismal Medicare Part D. Obama just doubled down on it all.

Another reason is the baby boomers coming of age, and all these "promises" that were made, but the "trust fund" was robbed and not managed properly.

As for Ron Paul...and dont get me wrong I WILL vote for him vs Obama..but his foreign policy is horrendous.

Take a look at this government chart of food stamp usage in the US:

[link to michellemalkin.com]

The trend is positively EXPLODING. There are over 44 million people on food stamps! Look at how fast the middle class is being pushed into POVERTY.

Couple that with the people losing unemployment benefits and not finding work. Just last week, 1.5 million people were ejected off unemployment and into despair and destitution.

Our way of life is being destroyed. MILLIONS of people will be living in tent cities and under bridges. I do not hear politicians addressing this--neither side.

Re: From Hooverville to Obamaville The Destruction of America
The entire governmental system of the United States is dirty and corrupted. You can focus all your energy and hate on the Pres but our system is about big business and big $. The system totally collapsed under Bush and we threw $$$$ and we are still throwing $$$$$$$$$$$ at it. The middle class has lost hope ,in most of the country. The game of "if we can elect @!!##*** everything will get better". Same old song and dance. Most people could care less about politics or aren't aware of anything political. Those that are into to it follow it more like my team vs. your team.

Not excusing Bush..are you kidding me? Whos the moron? Obama pissed away the vast majority of the stimulus money with only 6% making it to actual projects. That was 800 Billion and where did it go? Surely not the deficit or debt. And lets not forget the Affordable Healthcare Act that is going to cost into the future. IMHO the last two idiots in office have sunk America. We've all been sold out by both the Fed and greed on our parts. Nothing is for free, and you can steal everyones income and property and have a free society or one that will work.

It goes back much further but all are wars are banking wars from the revolution on has been discussed quite often and will again. As has the Wilson debacle.

yet within the lifetime of many or most here lets look at what has caused this current disaster.

LBJ- The Great Society, Immigration Act of 1965, Vietnam War, Looting of the social security trust.

Nixon- War on Drugs, Opening with China, ABC federal regulatory agencies, Collapse of Bretton Woods

Ford- The beginning of endless trades deficits

Carter- Energy crisis

Reagan- Massive military spending and the beginning of unraveling financial regulation. S&P collapse, 1987 stock market crash. Large deficits in good times.

GHW Bush- Announces New World Order and Invades a set up Iraq. Massive expense of military expeditions. DU used for the first time.

Clinton- Ends Glass-Stegall. Ushers in GATT & NAFTA. Comtinues looting of Social Security, Military and Federal pension trusts. Continues DU wars and this time in the Balkans supporting Al Queda.

Dubya- More DU wars with trillions spent on Iraq War II and Afghanistan. Fair Housing Act of 2005, the collapse agent of the global credit system. Uptick rule removed allowing unbridled shorting of the stock market.

Obama- an utter dooshbag. As you can see that I'm getting a little tired of compiling what everyone should already know.

Re: From Hooverville to Obamaville The Destruction of America
Man, be real. The train Obama arrived on was already headed for the cliff when he climbed on board. It was a fool's move being elected Captain of the Titanic. It's just so easy for white people to blame the destruction they cause, because they have been the ones in power since the ships landed on indigenous shores, on the victims they exploit. "The Warriors Did It!" It was ingenious, the creation of "races" and the valuation of phenotypes. I have to give it to the elites, the rich and their descending serfs on the hierarchal pyramid. The creation of classes by physical features was a work of art. It made it easy for the little guy to blame the next little guy beneath him because he couldn't see the big guy at the top. Straining to look up would be too hard to do. Divide and conquer. Obama is first and foremost black. Makes him the perfect patsy by white supremacist standards. Five centuries of demonization of a "race" stripped of power, name, status and culture, with an inability to fight back because all the machines that make resistance possible are controlled by the people in power who don't look like them for the most part, makes suppression easy and image shaping divine. Centuries of the villification of the black male image and putting in place systems to implement it: drugs, alcohol, narcotics, poverty, lower standards of living, secondary education if any at all, just out of reach or just above poverty living standards maintained by invisible chains, all serve the purpose of maintaining and encouraging that "ready made sucka" who can be pulled out just in time to save some elitis' behind. "The blacks did it!"

Younger, I did not understand why the revolutionaries of the 60's were screaming "Separate but equal." I remember arguing the "Lets hold hands and sing" ideology to a young black militant. A college grad with a business degree who couldn't get a job because of the color of his skin and who proved it. "It's not that we hate white people or want to destroy them," he said. "We just want to save US! For us, integration means DIS-integration. Becoming part of the melting soup pot ain't exactly appealing, ya dig? That just means you're on the menu. We want our own kitchen. Hating others is genetic to white folk. We're just tired of trying to figure out why we're the latest target. We want out." I reminded him of the fact a lot of whites were then saying "Go back to Africa." He said, "Let them go back to Europe first. But then, Europe is ours too. There was only one land mass until it broke apart. Africa IS the whole earth. And we were the first ones on it."

Hmm. Makes a lot of sense now.

If you look at a chart of the history of debt ceiling increases, all but TWO years from 1985 to now were increased (though NOWHERE at the level of Pelosi and Reid.) The ONLY years were there was no increase was when Republicans controlled House and Senate under Clinton. That's the only time the republicans had that much control and for two years we lived within our means. It CAN be done.

Before and after that time, we've been self-destructing. The Democrats have controlled the pursestrings almost totally and have spent us into bankruptcy. In my state (CT) the Democrats have had a veto-proof majority for 34 YEARS and we are BROKE. Not a sliver of blame can be laid on the Republicans. And as broke as we are, what did we do? We elected the Democrats right back in to finish us off financially.

WE HAVE GOT TO BE THE MOST STUPID PEOPLE ON THE PLANET. WE DESERVE WHAT'S COMING.

You can try to blame both sides but reality says otherwise. The democrats destroyed us financially but WE let them.

Younger, I did not understand why the revolutionaries of the 60's were screaming "Separate but equal." I remember arguing the "Lets hold hands and sing" ideology to a young black militant. A college grad with a business degree who couldn't get a job because of the color of his skin and who proved it. "It's not that we hate white people or want to destroy them," he said. "We just want to save US! For us, integration means DIS-integration. Becoming part of the melting soup pot ain't exactly appealing, ya dig? That just means you're on the menu. We want our own kitchen. Hating others is genetic to white folk. We're just tired of trying to figure out why we're the latest target. We want out." I reminded him of the fact a lot of whites were then saying "Go back to Africa." He said, "Let them go back to Europe first. But then, Europe is ours too. There was only one land mass until it broke apart. Africa IS the whole earth. And we were the first ones on it."

Hmm. Makes a lot of sense now.

A lot happened before Obama but he is fully in on being a tool to accelerate the process. Not that the GOP has shown any solutions. Even Ron Paul isn't enough to prevent catastrophe. Although Ron Paul potentially could start too turn thus tyranny around.

Re: From Hooverville to Obamaville The Destruction of America
Man, be real. The train Obama arrived on was already headed for the cliff when he climbed on board. It was a fool's move being elected Captain of the Titanic. It's just so easy for white people to blame the destruction they cause, because they have been the ones in power since the ships landed on indigenous shores, on the victims they exploit. "The Warriors Did It!" It was ingenious, the creation of "races" and the valuation of phenotypes. I have to give it to the elites, the rich and their descending serfs on the hierarchal pyramid. The creation of classes by physical features was a work of art. It made it easy for the little guy to blame the next little guy beneath him because he couldn't see the big guy at the top. Straining to look up would be too hard to do. Divide and conquer. Obama is first and foremost black. Makes him the perfect patsy by white supremacist standards. Five centuries of demonization of a "race" stripped of power, name, status and culture, with an inability to fight back because all the machines that make resistance possible are controlled by the people in power who don't look like them for the most part, makes suppression easy and image shaping divine. Centuries of the villification of the black male image and putting in place systems to implement it: drugs, alcohol, narcotics, poverty, lower standards of living, secondary education if any at all, just out of reach or just above poverty living standards maintained by invisible chains, all serve the purpose of maintaining and encouraging that "ready made sucka" who can be pulled out just in time to save some elitis' behind.

If you look at a chart of the history of debt ceiling increases, all but TWO years from 1985 to now were increased (though NOWHERE at the level of Pelosi and Reid.) The ONLY years were there was no increase was when Republicans controlled House and Senate under Clinton. That's the only time the republicans had that much control and for two years we lived within our means. It CAN be done.

Before and after that time, we've been self-destructing. The Democrats have controlled the pursestrings almost totally and have spent us into bankruptcy. In my state (CT) the Democrats have had a veto-proof majority for 34 YEARS and we are BROKE. Not a sliver of blame can be laid on the Republicans. And as broke as we are, what did we do? We elected the Democrats right back in to finish us off financially.

WE HAVE GOT TO BE THE MOST STUPID PEOPLE ON THE PLANET. WE DESERVE WHAT'S COMING.

You can try to blame both sides but reality says otherwise. The democrats destroyed us financially but WE let them.

Are you aware that:

The median wealth of white U.S. households in 2009 was $113,149, compared with $6,325 for Hispanics and $5,677 for blacks, according to the analysis released Tuesday by the Pew Research Center. Those ratios, roughly 20 to 1 for blacks and 18 to 1 for Hispanics, far exceed the low mark of 7 to 1 for both groups reached in 1995, when the nation’s economic expansion lifted many low-income groups to the middle class.

The white-black wealth gap is also the widest since the census began tracking such data in 1984, when the ratio was roughly 12 to 1.

“I am afraid that this pushes us back to what the Kerner Commission characterized as `two societies, separate and unequal,’” said Roderick Harrison, a former chief of racial statistics at the Census Bureau, referring to the 1960s presidential commission that examined U.S. race relations. “The great difference is that the second society has now become both black and Hispanic.”
