If I was wealthy I would be getting very nervous right now.. First to go will be the corrupted government officials from the top down. Then the wealthy and the corrupt Ceo’s, Bankers, Politicians, insurance companies the whole 9 yards and their families. These are the people that have been raping, robbing and abusing the American people for decades. These are the Corrupted vile SOB’S who caused all of this in the first place..there will be no place for them to hide..Not even underground. This will be a civil war unlike any other. The middle east won’t hold a candle to the violence now on the horizen. It’s coming and it’s coming very very soon… Poeple just can’t take this any longer, American families living in their cars while Fat cats laugh at them all and snub their filthy noses at all the middleclasses.

High-speed rail, the eternal goal of Progressives—would be an extravagance even if we weren’t BROKE!

Today’s trembler could become volcanic if the GOP decides not to extend unemployment benefits because they choose not to tax profits made in foreign countries competing with us.

I used to think the “conservatives” in Congress were just unthinking idiots incapable of looking ahead. Now I think they’re just selfish ingrates who don’t want to give anything back to the country that made them millionaires in the first place.

The numbers of murders and, yes rapes, do increase when frustrated people need to feel powerful enough to take what they want when they want it.

It occurs all over the world in countries where there isn’t enough to go round – and could happen here.

Unless you let them starve, it costs money to feed inmates as well as pay guards to watch them.

And you have to provide them with TV as well.

Better to put that money into investment in infrastructure and put people to work at a decent wage than to invest in (privately operated) jails.

The jobs bill will provide money for investing in infrastructure.

We need high-speed rail to reduce congestion on interstates and save gasoline.

We need more teachers (not fewer) of math and science to prepare the engineers of the future.

We need spending on automated manufacturing techniques to compete with cheap foreign labor.

Since US capitalists prefer to invest in our foreign competitors in Asia and India, the government (of the people) has to create a domestic jobs program which will employ people instead of keeping them frustrated and on the dole.

And this guy Immelt is a hypocrite who takes multimillion bonuses from earnings from GE’s investments in China while complaining that US companies are not doing enough to promote foreign trade.

You hit all of the nails on their heads with that one.

Time to cut all “social” programs. If mass riots occur, jail everyone and only give them food and water. Then, the real citizens will remain and there will be enough jobs for everyone, until the cycle continues when more jobs will be sent to China and more riots will occur. And you know what–then will the real end of America if we have more people in prison and jails than free men.

Let me see if I got this right: Do we now call the police BEFORE rape takes place? This is a crime that occurs regardless of the number of police available; the number of police is not a determining factor in the occurrence of the crime.

Hey Joe: Bite me!
