Maybe you're the one in over his head. Whats going on in Ukraine has little to do with Obama and everything to do with big-picture geopolitics and private banker hedgemony over that country's economy and its resources.
This has zero relevance. It is Mrs Palin trying to keep herself relevant. Whats going on in Ukraine has little to do with Obama and everything to do with big-picture geopolitics and private-banker hedgemony over Ukraine's economy and resources.
"Anti-Obama" is "fancy rhetoric?" Sounds like it's being called what it is. I'm no fan of B.O., but blaming him for everything is a major cop-out.
Bunk. PhD or not, you're making a lot of broad assumptions and leaving out of the equation completely the bankers who own and control the currency and credit. There could be no honest discourse about the economy until we put the monetary system itself under a microscope.
So I guess you're a big fan of globalization. Have you noticed the results?
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear, I agree we're not better off now, and that has more than a bit to do with unions' and workers' bargaining power having been decimated... The period from the late 1940s to about the mid 1970s was the peak of union power and at the same time relative wages and the standard of living for the average worker in the U.S. Since then there has been a slow but steady decline. Many of our industrial-union leaders sold out their members because they saw their power waning and let fear get the best of them. They let any thug and shyster run things. Today, you're right, things are getting tougher all over, but it most certainly is not the fault of unions, no matter how much you'd like that to fit your ideology. 😱
What in hell does freedom have to do with it? You think you're somehow more free than someone who's in a union? Everyone is trying to do better for themselves and their families in different ways. You still can't seem to acknowledge that it was union aggression (and I've already acknowledged that being FOR unions does not mean you're for ALL UNIONS. There is a difference. Not all unions operate the same way) that brought the standard of income and living up for all workers, public and private. Now that wages have been stealthily decimated in the private sector, people are looking at public sector workers and howling that they make too much. Everyone fell for it. By all means let's get greed and corruption out of both sectors, out of everywhere, but scapegoating unions for the country's problems is a cop-out. There isn't a union in existence that has the power of banks and corporations, who have had society tethered to their debt-trap boom-and-bust cycle so long that we can no longer see what's right in front of us.
I can't believe there are people so blind and biased that they blame unions for our troubles. Of course there are bad apples in unions, absolutely. But their power has waned considerably over the last few decades, membership is single-digit in the private sector. So what are the union-h**ers and busters big ideas on how to protect and maintain a decent living standard for workers? They have none. I suppose they feel they can trust their corporate overlords to be fair and considerate. Maybe the unions' old ways of doing things are obsolete today, but without them there would have been no middle class, no rights and benefits that people today take for granted. The slow but steady devaluing of labor seems to be working, as people worship a rich guy who doesn't work and lives off his capital gains, creating nothing of value and spending most of his "income" on buying politicians, but look down upon the productive laborer whose work contributes to the functioning of society, as deserving of nothing. Our values are completely backwards.
Who's brain dead? Where'd you learn to spell?
No, what people are getting s**k of is the blame-game. The folks who really run things in this country fund both the left and the right, and their's is the only agenda being played out. Ignorance and bias of the populace as influenced by mainstream media also has more than a little to do with it
What difference does that make? Only a fool believes the president is solely responsible for the economy or unemployment in the private sector.
