When you cut spending in a time of recession what you are doing is taking money out of circulation further decreasing economic activity. That is called a Depression; we have tried that route before in the 1930s and we saw how that went...Either u wanna fix the economy or u wanna fix the books, u cant do both at the same time.

 

Michelle Obama: "Barack Will Require You To Work." Video

 

I really liked this one, robertt! Especially the first two COMMENTS. The first one reveals the racism at the heart of MOST (not all) of the anti-Obama crowd. And the second one, I think, was directed specifically at YOU. :lol:

But, my question (which you probably won't answer) is.... what exactly do YOU think Michelle meant by the phrase: "Obama will require you to work?"

 

Before some of you dismiss this as the ramblings of a Liberul....check out this link I found while wasting my time on robertt's "News Headlines."

News Headlines

Finally!!!! A Republican who "gets it."

Furthermore, while wasting my time on robertt's links about the Goldline hearings.... which were one YEAR ago :zzz: ... I arrived at a new understanding of WHY the "gold recovery act of 1934" was initiated (by executive order, I believe...)

ONE said: Hoarding GOLD does the same thing! Now.... I am not saying that an individual doesn't have the RIGHT to buy or hoard gold. In fact... the "Act" was repealed or ended in 1974.... hmm.... just about the time our "debt to GDP ratio" started to soar!

But, you see.... GOLD is not an "investment" that helps to CAPITALIZE corporations, small businesses, or GOVERNMENTS that help GROW our economy. That's what stocks and bonds are for! Gold is not an "investment" in our economy.... and the creation of JOBS. It is a means of "self preservation" that actually ROBS the economy of investment capital.

When "the people" stop Capitalizing industry with their investments for retirement, and start hoarding precious metals, EVERYONE suffers.... including themselves. WHAT??? How can that BE, you ask?

Well... without considering all the complications of trying to buy a tankful of gas with gold... from a station that went OUT OF BUSINESS... or trying to EAT gold... when there is no FOOD on the shelves of grocery stores....

Consider this.... if gold was $500/oz in '74, and is worth about 3 times that amount today...gas was 25 cents a gallon then, and now costs about 15 times that! So.... GOLD has not kept up with the rate of inflation! Had you invested that same amount in a local small business, you may have gotten a similar R.O.I... and your town would still have a viable economy!

IF those businesses (and corporations) were paying taxes as they should, there would BE NO huge deficits and National debt.... Unemployment would be down to the nominal level.... and "demand" would NOT outstrip "supply" keeping prices down!

Like I said before.... I ain't no Economist! But, it seems clear to me that hoarding gold robs the economy of "capitalization." And that leads to more government "investment" in business.... and that leads to higher taxes!

And that doesn't even address the questions Weiner was raising in the hearings! AS I UNDERSTAND IT.... the problem was that Goldline, and others, were actually charging HUGE premiums on the price of their gold coins, and rationalizing them to the poor seniors and suckers, by telling them that gold prices would continue to soar! IOW... they were selling you a coin that would only "break even" IF the price of gold continued to soar... while THEY banked the profits from the selling price!

But... what do I know?? I'm just a red-blooded American who "buys" my information (hook, line and sinker) from FAUXNews, websites like The Blaze, and GOP leaders who.... obviously.... ONLY have MY best interests at heart! :eek2:

NOT!!

 

Do I get line item veto power? That would be about the only way I see some thing like that ever happening. I'm not going to waste any time looking up figures (it takes me a long time) cause it really dosn't matter to any one who has any say so. But all corp. welfare would be a start. If a biz can stand on it's own then they sell out, No more home mortgage bailouts, if you can't afford it, move. All SSDI, welfare, section 8 ect claims need to be resubmitted and reviewed . All foriegn aide needs to be reviewed, THAT MEANS ALL! Gvmt contracts need to be reviewed by bean counters whose only agenda is to save $$. Get the idea? Oh well it'll never happen.

 

Yes that may be but when you try to print your way out of debt that's inflation! Smart cuts could be done , big spending isn't the cure either

 

Yeah that was the one link I followed - too funny.

You think the 1st commenter was rascist? I thought we settled that on this forum awhile back - racism is dead in America. Dead and buried. When he said "i say find the nearest tree and hang the f-er" he was probably just wanting to make sure his President had some nice quality shade during the summer heat.

The 2nd commenter - the one you think is talking about Robert is good too. I think "You hunt for news and videos such as these to incite yourself further into madness..." sounds kinda poetic.

Did you happen to notice this link under the vid?

Senate Rubber Stamps National Enslavement Bill

Doesn't the title remind you of some classic Star supermarket tabloid articles? The article is pretty funny too. People actually read this stuff and become afraid. If I ever really get tired of working for a living I'm going into the fear business!!! So many people are so gullible, just charge them money for giving them something to fear. And hate.

 

"Joe Biden is NOT the President of the U.S. and in MY opinion, was not the best choice for V.P. Dubya declared "mission accomplished" with still over 4,000 DEAD American soldiers YET to come! And promised us that Iraqi oil would pay for the war! YOU DECIDE.... WHO was the biggest LIAR? "

so umm whats the war in Iraq and dead soldiers got to do with creating a half a million jobs? you cant compare a politicians character with the problems this country has and expect to be able to pin a majority of it on a single party or person.

Ronald Reagan IMO was the best president this country has ever had after JFK(who was the last president to stand up to the federal reserve mind you) who was the best president after truman(only president faced with "the decision"), who was the best president after FDR(Lies and deception aside, his administration got us into WW2 which created jobs to bring us out of the depression), who was the best president after Lincoln (freed the slaves, AND this countries first republican president), who was the best president after......you see where this is going?

fact of the matter is this country only prospers from war. We are a little over 235 years old now as a country and have already had 13 major "conflicts" 2 of which were world wars. we average a major conflict every 18 years in this country, and isnt it a coincidence that before each conflict we are stretched to our limits, low on resources, financially inept, etc, yet AFTERWARDS we prosper for about 9-10 years before we need to get ourselves involved in another conflict(most of the time which isnt even our business).

it is wrong to blame any ONE person for this countries problems, as each administration has played its part in excessive spending, corruption, and greed.
The American people are just waking up and realizing we out government is no different than what our fore fathers fought and died to abolish.
