E.W. Jackson: 'Deliver' Gays From 'Destructive' Lifestyle; Obama Will 'Teach Children Homosexuality'
Then there are these items from "Some Assembly Required"
Fear
And Loathing: American
conservatives' dislike for poor people – witness their current
drive to dismantle the food stamp program, the refusal of 26
Republican governors to accept the no-cost expansion of Medicaid
coverage under Obamacare, and their unthinking rejection of Obamacare
in total – is mainly based on fear. Some small part of their
abhorrence of the poor may stem from sophomoric idealization of 'free
markets' and the idea that those who fail to succeed must be
defective, even more of it is the desire to elevate oneself over
others, but a great deal of it is simple racism.
Victory:
The Congress has managed to cut nearly a million undeserving,
slothful veterans from the food stamp rolls, effective Friday. That
leaves about 46 million Americans on the dole, as the number
receiving food stamps continues to increase, even as employment
slowly recovers – another sign that millions of working Americans
don't make enough to feed their families. 76% percent of SNAP
households included a child, an elderly person, or a disabled person.
These vulnerable households receive 83 percent of all SNAP benefits.
Kicking those veterans off will really save money.
Positively
Negative: US consumer
confidence fell sharply in October, we were less optimistic about the
current situation, and are decidedly gloomier about the future.
Yeah, recovery.
Push/Shove:
No matter how much the Fed would like inflation to be higher,
without putting money in the hands of consumers – a direct stimulus
- it cannot succeed. Flooding the world with money does them little
good if the money is not used (borrowed) by companies to expand their
output, and a company does not make more widgets if it does not see
customers for those widgets. As long as the customer doesn't have
the money (or sufficient credit) to buy the widget, the cash just
piles up in asset heaps, uselessly.
etc., etc., etc.
What in heaven can I write about this stuff without just repeating what so many other folks have already written? Those who dispute these FACTS do so out of some sort of belief and faith. Neither common sense nor actual facts can sway their beliefs --- after all, a whole lot of folks still think Obama is: the anti-Christ, a Muslim, a communist, a Fascist, or a Fascist,Communist, Muslim, Tyrant. The fact he has been elected twice, and cleaned the clock of his opponents both times seems to mean nothing to these folks. Do you think RACISM might have a bit to do with all this crap?
