If you want to see what an economy looks like when you shut down manufacturing and start SERVICING each other and consuming, tune into the CNBC ticker today. Unless we figure what this country PRODUCES -- we're doomed. I always thought that at least -- we'd have Hollywood and Disney and Entertainment.. But even there, I now have doubts. Our entertainment diet has become political parody and reality crap.

The decline continues. The wealth is evaporating. And the left is still fixated on a scavenger hunt for the carcass.

I'd really like to care about what's going on in Wisconsin. But I care more about the private sector right now. You can understand my reasons for that, can't you? I've got a dear uncle/aunt who dedicated their lives to TRYING to educate slum-bound NYC school kids. They are retired in absolute luxury. They deserve to be happy. Maybe -- Just not THAT Damn happy..

Regarding these brilliant managers who have not raised wages in line with inflation. Those same guys are saying we will hire more people when the market demand improves. Now even a Republican must know that the market demand is 70% consumer driven. Oh but the consumer's wages have not kept pace with inflation. Do you think that could possibly be why demand is not increasing? Nah, couldn't be. Farking idiots!

That's exactly what it is.

So, what that means, Rob, is that we need to outsource more work. Bring prices down so the "working poor" can afford to buy stuff. Oh that's right, they're unemployed now. We just laid them off and sent their jobs elsewhere in the name of saving them money. Okay, so now we'll just cutoff their unemployment benefits. That way we can cut their taxe.......Oh, that's right, they're not paying taxes now that their unemployed. Okay, here's what we do; First, we defund NPR, Planned Parenthood and bust the teachers union so we can make it easier to fire them...well maybe.....someday...........

Where does this end?

My rides are Blue and Green. The one in the avatar was in honor of a post about Romney.
(We're were talking about AMC cars.)

There, changed it. That's the real Mighty Bluestreak in my avatar.

Now THAT's a cop magnet..

I'm not riled at anyone here (today ). JonL is an honest and challenging sparring partner. I come here to lower my blood pressure (listening to MSNBC, and other news) and because I'm not in a huge office with a lot of other distractions.

I had a cop pull me over and let me go-----Just so he could look at it.
Asked me what the top speed is...."Well, according to Car and Driver, it'll top 150."

"Really? Sweet! How much do they run?"

A cop, inquiring about the top speed of my car, because he's thinking of buying one.................

Think about that.
