Whose Fault?

Am home from my gig tonight, and am ready for another one of my patented rants.

Obama's fault. Bush's fault. Obama's fault. Bush's fault..... Hold it!! Enough of this shit already!!

Actually, Obama DID inherit a hell of a problem, and it's not a problem we can easily pull out of. When the stock market crashed in 1929, it did not reach that level again until 1953. However, I believe that Obama is doing a few things right, and is also doing a number of things wrong. I am not going to listen to talking heads from either the right or the left, but will do my best to think independently. Would Romney be a better president than Obama. I honestly do not know, but I do know something else. If Romney takes office in 2013, things are still not going to right themselves. It will take pretty close to a generation for that to happen, no matter who is in office. Americans right now have way to short an attention span, and want it now. Problem is that it isn't going to happen now, nor will it happen any time in the near future. It is going to take many years.

In addition, this is not Bush's recession alone. It was under Bill Clinton that laws were changed that allowed this mess to happen in the first place, and it was especially the gutting of the Glass-Steagal Act that armed the time bomb that eventually went off. Democrats and Republicans are equally to blame for this mess, but you wouldn't know it by looking at some of the responses you see on "Talking Head Assholes TV". And the responses vary, depending whether the asshole doing the talking supports the Republican party or the Democratic party. Yes, I AM making an accusation here. I am accusing Democrats and Republicans both of putting party ahead of country. There is a word for that, and it's not "Patriotism". "Douchebaggery" does come to mind. So, to the Network Douche Bags, I have a short message for you:

Dear Douche Bag, Go fuck yourself!!

If you want the truth, you can start by turning off your TV set, then taking a sledge hammer to it. After that, it is only necessary that you open your eyes and look.

So Who Shops at Wal-Mart?

I have a question for Liberals: Do you shop at Wal-Mart?

I will make a point.

1) I agree with you that billionaires don't create jobs. Consumer demand creates jobs. Economics 101. I understand that.

2) However, if you shop at Wal-Mart, which outsources jobs to China, then you are not practicing what you preach, because you are not helping to create jobs through consumer demand. If enough people refused to shop at a chain that helps to destroy jobs here in America, then we wouldn't be in the economic pickle we are in. But you have to practice what you preach.

3) While it is demand that creates jobs, where do you want to create them? Here in America, or there in China. While there is demand here, I see a lot of that demand being shipped THERE. and that is part of the problem. In America, we get what we deserve, but if you are willing to give it all away to China, then you deserve what you get.

4) If we all really put America first, we wouldn't be arguing over taxes at all. Taxes would be low, and unemployment would be less than 4%. There would be enough prosperity to go around, and there wouldn't be camps of Democrats and Republicans that are always at each others' throats.

5) But you have to act like an American for that to happen. That means buy American and not set your foot inside stores that don't give a shit about anything but profits, at whatever price has to be paid, whether it is in the blood of Chinese slaves or whether it is in money.

6) You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. If you are certain that it is demand and not billionaires that create jobs, then you have to put your money where your mouth is.

So who shops at Wal-Mart?
