Government Spending Doesn't Create Jobs

Joking Joe Gets His Turn

More stimulus please...

Because we won't have to raise the debt ceiling again for another year!

More Spending Will Reduce Debt

It is becoming harder every day to stay calm...

From The Hill.

Senate Democrats on the supercommittee say the group needs to include stimulus for the economy in the deficit-reduction plan it has been tasked with producing by Thanksgiving. 

The three Senate Democrats serving on the 12-member deficit supercommittee outlined their approach to the talks in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Wednesday.

Only in the world of the terminally insane does this make sense.
I just want to scream...

Food Stamps Are Economic Stimulus

Unemployment checks create jobs and now food stamps are economic stimulus too!




I hate to wish my life away but 2012 will not get here soon enough.

No Confidence

No Sh*t...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) announced Wednesday his plans to introduce a vote of no confidence in Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

Turbo Tax Tim has failed miserably at this job. No second chances at saving face now.

White House press secretary Jay Carney dismissed the idea Wednesday shortly before Obama was set to meet with Geithner at the White House.

The carnival barker disagrees of course.

Carney said that the president has "great confidence in Secretary Geithner and his substantial capabilities." 

Substantial  capabilities? Dodging taxes? Understanding tax software for dummies?
The Zero has a zero running ruining the Treasury Dept.

Rand Paul Calls For Turbo Tim To Resign

The calls keep coming...

Krugman Says S&P And Extremist Republicans Are The Problem

Conscience Of A Liberal Idiot...

On one hand, there is a case to be made that the madness of the right has made America a fundamentally unsound nation. And yes, it is the madness of the right: if not for the extremism of anti-tax Republicans, we would have no trouble reaching an agreement that would ensure long-run solvency.

Color me as a extremist anti-tax American...Krugman? You make the call.

Thanks Barack! My Retirement Was Set Back A few More Years Today!

Freefall

Recovery summer (three in a row!)...




Update:
This may not be a one day correction. The Nikkei is down 3.67% as of this writing..

White House Carnival Barker Says No Double Dip

Just a number of headwinds...

But White House spokesman Jay Carney acknowledged at a news conference that growth has slowed as the economy grapples with the effects of high energy prices and other challenges, including the Japanese earthquake and the U.S. debt limit debate.

"There have been a number of headwinds this year," he said. 

Good to know...I was starting to worry.

Mouthpiece Says Economy Has "Vastly Improved"

Mr. Shipman is a damn idiot, or a liar, or both!

From Hot Air.

Putting pressure on an already lousy job market, the mass layoff is making a comeback. In the past week, Cisco, Lockheed Martin and Borders announced a combined 23,000 in job cuts. (See:Another Retailer Bites the Dust: Borders Doomed by Amazon Deal, Davidowitz Says)

Those announcements follow 41,432 in planned cuts in June, up 11.6% from May and 5.3% vs. a year earlier, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Winning the future...

Lincoln Helped Build The Intercontinental Railroad?

According to the smartest President ever...

Listen, Abraham Lincoln helped build the interstate…the intercontinental railroad in the middle of the Civil War because he understood this was going to be important.

Of course its  a gaffe,(he makes more than anyone because he is an idiot) he meant transcontinental railroad (I think) but will you ever hear it outside the new media interwebs? Doubtful.

Palm Beach Going To The Dogs?

Or going after Dogs.

Plagued with pets that do business in all the wrong places, dog owners in the Village of Abacoa, a condominium association of 458 units, must pay a $200 fee starting Aug. 1. The money will pay DNA Pet World Registry to take the dog's genetic fingerprint and keep the information on file.

Doggie droppings found in condo common areas will be collected and mailed in a plastic tube to the Knoxville, Tenn.-based company. If the poop matches the pooch, the owners can be fined up to $1,000. If they don't pay, a lien can be placed on their home, said Susan Nellen, property manager for Versa Property

Feces ID is a booming business? This could work well in DC...Just saying.

More Proof Liberalism Is A Mental Disorder

Perhaps Mr. Nagin could get  a discount on the buddy system with Calypso Louie and board the Mother Ship together....

“I thought to myself, ‘I’m a dead man! I have just publicly denounced the governor, U.S. Senators, FEMA and the president of the United States,’” he writes. “I started wondering if during the night I would be visited by specially trained CIA agents. Could they secretly shoot me with a miniature, slow-acting poison dart?

A slow acting dart? What would have happened to your "chocolate city" Mayor?
