Stimuluselessness and the Great Depression mark 2.0
The idea that Government, by borrowing money from ordinary people and spending it on bullshit that nobody wants, needs, or asked for, can bring a shocked economy back to life is so obviously retarded that only a Progressive Douchebag could ever possibly believe it. Even Keynes didn't believe it, though Progressive Douchebags have twisted his words to pretend that he did.
Right now the progressive douchebag policies enacted since Pelosi's douchebags took over in 2007 have us in Great Depression mark 2.0. But you say, we only have 10% unemployment! Youth unemployment is only at 50%. There was growth this quarter. To which I answer:
Bullshit! The real jobless rate is 17.5%.
Look at this graph, comparing unemployment in the current DEPRESSION to the GREAT DEPRESSION, and weep at what the progressives have done. Again. Just like they did in Hoover's and FDR's administrations. They are set on destroying our economy, and in the crisis reforging America as a socialist meddler that will never give you a millisecond of privacy or leave you alone to do one, goddamn thing.

Eamon Javers needs to get hit with a cluebat
I have just the cluebat here to pummel him with.
Javers writes at Politico. Today he writes a long, tendentious, boring column that makes the claim that because Matt Drudge has posted lots of stories about the weak dollar therefore Drudge is causing the dollar to weaken. Hey douchEamon, did you ever think that maybe the dollar is really falling and that it's a FREAKING IMPORTANT STORY?! Just because the Pravda Media doesn't write about it and the Pravda TV Stations Anita "Mao Tse" Dunn likes don't talk about it, doesn't mean that it's unimportant. It just means that the story is on double-secret unofficial probation in order to protect The Messiah, the Lord Barack Milhous Obama the Most Merciful from anyone noticing that the Kenyan emperor has no Burberry suits, or indeed any clothes at all.
Yes, Virginia, the dollar really is weakening. You don't think that more than doubling the amount of dollars in circulation over the last year might have reduced the worth of each one by a little more than half, now do you? You don't think that the mad rush to buy paper and print money with it has reminded people that money is indeed nothing more than paper with a government promise on it? You don't think that Obama's inability to keep a single one of his own promises longer than five minutes has hurt his government's credibility on the matter of keeping promises?
No, a guy who aggregates news stories is causing the collapse of the dollar!
Right, and a guy who writes for Politico is the reason why the infinite universe will someday die, or maybe not die but just cool down to ice and black holes, or be embraced back into the arms of an infinitely loving God.
Blame it all on Eamon Javers, that's the ticket!

Even a Stopped Joe Biden Clock...
Joe Biden drops some righteous truth on the Pravda press idiots.
Don't worry, Joe. We know the truthtelling was accidental. Keep up the mistakes, smart guy!

Daniel Gross is a Progressive Douchebag
If Rush Limbaugh wrote the Political Correctness column for Salon, then Gross writing on business might make sense. Counterprogramming is always interesting. You assign Tom Cruise to write about personal economics and G. Gordon Liddy to write about hippies. Cruise never had to save a dime. And Liddy never danced the wiggly spiderlady dance at a Phish or Grateful Dead show. So when they write they are fish out of water and don't go over the heads of their readers. The danger is that they will aim too low, about the level of the reader's bunghole. And along those lines who do Newsweek and Slate choose to write their business columns? They hire a progressive douchebag so unthinking about his class-warfare assumptions that he happily accepts fascism and corporatism as if they were principles of the "free" market.
His latest article is about progressive CEOs, by which he means business owners who buy into the whole global warming swindle for selfish reasons, or because they're scared to death of being put out of business by the government if they don't play along. For example, here is what one selfish businessman thinks about the government forcing ordinary people to pay tons of money for gas.
That makes sense. However, it is not an argument for progressive principles in business, but for adaptation to political fads and fashions. Under the horrible economic meddling of the current legislative and executive branches, we are in a fascist moment so companies need to play along, much like companies played along with the Italian fascists and the German Nazis. Energy companies like Exelon and BrightSource can make as much money under the new regime with a non-functional product and massive Government grants as they can selling energy that is taxed to death. Apple chooses the progressive side because it has long been the fashionable computer company, and nothing is as fashionable as progressivism and its spinster aunt Marxism.
After all, smart douchebag elitists like to think they can run the whole economy better than all the peons who spend their money and time in the economy can. Typical progressive douchebags.
Let's think about this. What would be the perfect way to run an economic system? How about to have everybody in the world focusing on their own speciality, watching for when supplies contract and finding substitutes or new sources of supply to bring into the system? When people put in extra effort they are compensated by letting them charge more. If something is more plentiful in one part of the world, then more people get together and make products out of it. They then cooperate with someone who has transportation and ship it to other parts of the world. Eventually improvements are made to products that incorporate components from all over the world. They improve the quality and lower the cost, and thereby the price of the consumer product that is sold to ordinary people who take it home and use it with their families. People who do a lousy job on their own are taken on by other, more successful producers and thereby become proxy members of the economy. They might even learn something in case they want to step up and try something on their own again. Over time, as producers experiment with improvements in their methods and raw ingredients their products get better and cost fewer working hours for consumers to buy. Imagine a pencil.
Now that would be one hell of a way to make an economy work, wouldn't it? Or you could let the king set the price of bread and give a monopoly on the sale of bread to his retarded brother in law. In which case you will be required by law to buy moldy, hard, black bread and spend $20 per loaf, until the price goes up.
That's what happens when the progressives take over. They want to act like they are the freaking king and everyone else who doesn't have the political connections is a peasant whose job is to labor for the glory of the state and thank the king when he gets whipped for being slow with his tax payments.
Progressives? More like cavemen economists. More like tyrants. More like Louis the frakking XVI. More like the madness of King George III. Is this the progressive movement America ordered, a regression to King George III? Shit, didn't we have a frakking Revolution against George III? Who are these damn Progressive Douchebags anyway, Lord North plotting a way to return the Colonies to the tender oversight of the British Crown?

His latest article is about progressive CEOs, by which he means business owners who buy into the whole global warming swindle for selfish reasons, or because they're scared to death of being put out of business by the government if they don't play along. For example, here is what one selfish businessman thinks about the government forcing ordinary people to pay tons of money for gas.
Andrew Taylor, the CEO of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, in many ways epitomizes the business establishment. His family is No. 32 on the Forbes 400, their $7 billion fortune built on allowing middle-class people to drive cheaply. He donates mostly to Republican candidates. But when it comes to energy prices, he holds a heretical view. In the past year, gas has swung from $4 to $2.50 a gallon, which has made it difficult for auto manufacturers (and rental companies) to predict whether consumers will desire fuel-sipping compacts or fuel-burning SUVs. It strikes Taylor that if the government were to guarantee a stable gas price of between $3 and $4 per gallon—through a high national gas tax like they have in Europe, for example—it might spur innovation and hasten the shift to electric cars. "Consumers would know what kind of car they want to buy, and manufacturers would know what to build," he says.Isn't that special? Clearly Taylor would like it better if people rented more cars, and the way to do that would be to lower the price of gas. So in reality he would rather the US's philosophy were Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less. But if the idiotic government is going to prevent Americans from using their own natural resources then at least it could make the price of gas predictable so that businesses can plan for it. Plus energy companies love the idea of selling essentially nothing to a captive market and getting paid for it. That's what carbon credits are: nothing. And we are the captive market whose pockets are going to be picked by doubling our electric bills.
A few years ago, such talk—looking to European-style intervention in an iconic American market, passing on higher prices to consumers—would have been enough to mark Taylor as a traitor to his CEO class. But Taylor is what you might call a progressive businessman.

Youth Unemployment Catastrophe
52.2% OF YOUTH BETWEEN 16 AND 24 ARE UNEMPLOYED!
How do you like this Change, all you douchebag SNL and MTV watching youths who voted for Obama? Well, maybe now you can beg for change on the street corner, thanks to Obama.
| Me: | WTF? |
| Obama voter: | Change, please? |
| Me: | Would you like to have a job where you didn't have to beg for money, didn't have to degrade yourself for money, didn't have people looking at you with pity all day long because you are such a hopeless, jobless loser? |
| Obama voter: | Of course! |
| Me: | Elections have consequences, asshole! I can't afford to hire you under the Obama policies, and neither can anyone else. |
I have more breaking news that I don't think any Obama voters ever heard before.
If a promise seems too good to be true, it probably is bullshit!Read more...

Lookit all my Insurance Company Astroturf money
Oh brother, I wish I had a billionnaire like Soros who would fund twisty little mazes full of shell corporations to pay my alt-A mortgage in the middle of Obama's econosuck. That would be schweeeeet! But since I'm not selling my free ass to him and throwing following generations into slavery, there are no wealthy slavemasters buying what I'm selling. They only buy from my old comrades who are still progressive douchebags.
Speaking of which, when are you past-the-expiration-date hippies going to wake the hell up!?
