The Comrade just gave a little speech somewhere. I only listened to the first minute or so before muting the TV -- can't stand the grating rasp of his voice anymore.
However, it seems the Comrade wants to extend the Bush tax cuts for one more year -- if he can tax the rich. Still riding that sorry and pointless hobby horse. What good will that do?
Had to laugh. Just before hitting the mute button, I heard him claim that "we've tried tax cut solutions."
I was sick and in the hospital for a week. I guess I missed the experimentation with tax cuts. But I recall the 1980s very clearly, the sharp, almost ecstatic economic upturn under Reagan, after the dire, depressing "malaise" years with Jimmy Carter ("Jeemy's a good man." Remember Rosalyn Carter, the last cheerleader, clinging to that simpering perception?)
But the Liar in Chief is just pathetic, isn't he? Hasn't got it yet -- you keep doing the same old thing, you keep getting the same results. And sure enough, unemployment only gets worse. The economy is slowing down again. Not a "double dip" recession, so long as an extended one -- becauase the Comrade's and Paul Krugman's and Robert Reich's policies simply don't friggin' work.
Look at Europe. Have they worked there?
Time to try something else. Like a new president and a functioning congress where Harry Reid sits quietly in the back, except to get up occasionally and regale us all with cowboy poetry.
Save the republic.
