Since Gov. Bobby Jindal bombed this week, who should we expect to see delivering the Republican response to President Obama’s next congressional address? My money’s on Rush “Porkulus” Limbaugh. The bigoted blowhard has had a firm grip on the GOP microphone ever since he bellowed “I hope he fails!” just days before Obama took office. (Ironically, he’s the only one still supporting Jindal!) Conservatives have been wedded to Rush longer than each of his three marriages–one of which Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas performed in his own home–and they’ve been echoing Limbaugh’s talking points on the stimulus plan for over a month.
When it comes to economic recovery, AFSCME and Americans United for Change won’t take no for an answer anymore. They’re urging you to call Congress and make your voices heard.
Could this video get anymore ridiculous?!! This video is a pathetic attempt to misdirect the issue at hand. The issue is a pork laden bill full of special earmarks (9,000) that are using money that should have gone to American business with the stipulation that the money be used to employ legal American citizens, and with strict oversight.
Instead, we get a chopped up video designed to make it appear as though the Republicans were against a stimulus bill! Not only were the Republican for a stimulus bill, they wrote a bill that would have employed far more people for far less the cost!! This video is exactly the type of prevaricated trash that should never be allowed to see the light of day on any responsible blog.
US economy has shrinked by 6.2%.
We have troops in 158 countries that defend our right to buy foreign products. How many troops must we lose before people get it? The reason foreign products are so cheap is because the countries that reap the benefit of our troop presence in their country pay nothing for it or we pay them to put troops there. These troops are paid for by American taxpayers who work for American companies in America. These same comp[anies are being decimated by cheap foreign products, They are cheap one the surface but Tax abatements for relocating in America for companies such as Honda, Nissan, Toyota, KIA and Volkswagen have paid for the American labor with your taxes. All the while those profits leave America at a time when America needs the revenue the most. How cheap are those foreign products when they have cost the lives of our American soldiers and cost Trillions of dollars in taxpayer money just to do business here. You cannot have both foreign products and bring our troops home. People who think so are idiots and traitors.
Rick, your are confused, but it is expected.
Thats right but for the same timeframe Bush showed it at 3.8%, you see he didn't adjust for inflation. When you do you see that the U.S has been in recession for 24 months. Depression is recognised at 10% that is not good. You know I read an interesting article the other day it was entitled: “AND THE OSCAR FOR DENIAL GOES TO – THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” reference to the fawning over Obamas speech to congress.
Rebuilding America?

I hope he is wrong too, but I notice that economists that either didn't see this comming or who did but were disshonest about it are talking about a 1-2 year recession (Bollocks!). Those that I have been following from Max Kieser, CHALMERS JOHNSON, Jim Rogers (who, I dont completely trust), Peter Chiff who have been predicting this for years and who have been right are putting forward frightenly well collaborated evedence of a fall that will put the U.S on par with Brazil. George Soros is comming out now and comparing this thing to the fall of the Soviet empire.
Wake up America! Your system sucks… all you have to do is put your patriotism down for a moment, have a look around you and recognise your countries problems. Patriotism is Denial. Its like those blinkers that they put on horses so they can only see in one direction but in the case of patriotism its what is directly in front of you that is being obscured from sight.
