Yes in a world where I pick on Republicans mercilessly due to the sheer incompetence of their policies, the dems this week get a special shout out for their awful, awful bill for "saving" our financial system and to that of WV governor, Joe Manchin III for waiting weeks to name a replacement for the late Senator Byrd.
First the new "reform" bill. It sucks. BAD. Why you ask? It does nothing to fix any of the problems that caused this disaster in the first place. Traitor senator Scott Brown who could possibly be the biggest schmuck in the Senate, refused to go along with the unemployment Bill which would have staved off the economic disaster unfolding in this country as we speak, but went along with big banks in killing the 19% tax on banks for the new bill. This bill does no good for anyone but banks. How do we know this? Profits have soared this week for all major banks, such as JPMorgan Chase whose profit went up 80%. This happened because fixes on the highly unstable derivative market have been capped at only 3% and those fixes don't take place until 2022. Really? First off, those caps have no real limit so that amount could still bankrupt any major institution. Second, it doesn't take effect until 2022. The world will be a very different place by then. All in all, this bill was one big blow job to the banks ( as I stated in an earlier post) that does nothing to fix any of the problems. Another depression is coming, one the government may actually want to happen to crack down on us and install a truly fascist dictatorship. Recently, the Rockerfeller Foundation outlines four scenarios that could lead to such an outcome due to economic collapse or pandemic, so smart people are taking this seriously. It has also come to light that due to the fact that every state is broke and no more aid will be coming from the feds, police and firefighters everywhere are being shown the door. Stockton and Oakland have already laid off dozens of police, and have publicly stated narcotic crimes will not be looked into it (Hooray for that). The drug war has bankrupted us and it's time for both the R and D's of the Senate to acknowledge this and end it today. WE CAN'T AFFORD IT ANYMORE AND IT'S LEADING TO THE DEMISE OF OUR COUNTRY. But no, Obama still says he's against legalization of pot (moron) or the decriminalization of all narcotics unlike everywhere else on Earth except places like Saudi Arabia and Iran. China and Russia have more sensible policies than we have. Let that sink in for a minute. Communist countries are more progressive than we are with how we treat drug problems. Brilliant. Every state right now is going to have to lay off people that we may need. I may be against the police for the most part, the bad ones anyway, but they do serve a purpose that is necessary. Without these individuals, I would suggest the reinstatement of the militia, a group with less power than police but with the ability to help stop crime. Philadelphia and Boston are laying off dozens of firefighters as well, so if your house burns to the ground remember why that is and who you voted into office.
A special douchebag award goes to WV governor Joe Manchin III for waiting weeks to name a replacement, keeping the necessary jobs bill from going anywhere. Thankfully, a vote will take place next week where it is expected to pass. Unless you listen to Fox news who have said that it won't, the sky is green and the ocean is made of hot fudge. Watching that channel sometimes is really surreal. Manchin waited so long because he wants the seat and plans to run in a special election set up for November. Greedy fuck kept people waiting for their much needed checks so he could grandstand. Congradulations Joe Michen you are indeed Douchebag of the week.
