Anonymous Coward User ID: 44305466 United States 07/31/2013 06:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Team Obama is reporting that the numbers would be much better if it weren't for government austerity measures? WTF... Austerity aren't we spending 500 billion every 2 weeks that we don't even have? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44377051 SNAP reductions starting Nov. Wait 'til the welfare recipients and the SNAP moochers find out that things on Food stamps are going to be changed drastically. No sodas, no ice cream, cakes, snacks, etc... It's all going to go towards buying fresh/frozen fruits and vegetables, milk, dairy, eggs, and meats. No sweets or junk food. I can't wait for next yr when this goes into effect. lol. The boons are gonna rise hell. Thanks Obama. I bet Coke-a-Cola will make sure soda will be ok with SNAP. |

Everything they do and everything they say or "leak" to the media is propaganda. Quoting: R.P. McMurphy Example: This morning I hear on the news how the economy is chugging along (which was the exact phrase used) but yesterday I heard unemployment was up in 365 of the largest American cities. That means the economy is not "chugging along" by rather merely holding it's own. Just like how all those scandals the obama administration is embroiled in are just "made-up" by hillery clinton's "vast right-wing conspiracy". What these people do best is lie and deceive. Exactly. They can't even "lie" it good so they have to rework the nums and redefine the terms. Then, shazzam! 0beyme saved us! Yipeeeee. You can't even find the real unemployment rate at BLS by searching unemployment rate. You have to search LABOR UNDERUTILIZATION RATE. Then, you'll see we really have a nearly 15% UE rate. They define GDP is also totally fucked up. They add government's spending in the total product but do NOT discount (subtract) what the government takes OUT of the economy in taxes. So the whole GDP number is bullshit! There is NO TRUTH to anything we hear out of government - NONE! You cannot believe a god damned thing. ...LIAR! LIAR! :anger:...OUR COUNTRY'S ON FIRE! |

A job is meaningless absent productivity and that takes a new ATTITUDE. I don't see many Americans priding themselves on their productivity like we did during and after WW-2 for instance. Now, all I hear is shit like "Double the minimum wage" and "We have to have a living wage" and "I have to have at least $35K per year just to meet my expenses." Yeah, well fuck their expenses. I couldn't care less what they spend. The only thing they need to be concerned with is how much they're capable of producing in excess of said wage. |
