More than any other country, Germany — Nazi Germany — then set out on a serious stimulus program. The government built up the military, expanded the autobahn, put up stadiums for the 1936 Berlin Olympics and built monuments to the Nazi Party across Munich and Berlin.
The economic benefits of this vast works program never flowed to most workers, because fascism doesn’t look kindly on collective bargaining. But Germany did escape the Great Depression faster than other countries. Corporate profits boomed, and unemployment sank (and not because of slave labor, which didn’t become widespread until later). Harold James, an economic historian, says that the young liberal economists studying under John Maynard Keynes in the 1930s began to debate whether Hitler had solved unemployment.
Jack is thinking and you know that is always dangerous! Now the NYT is advocating following Nazi Germany past practice? It DID solve the unemployment problem!
Jack is thinking now OK … which country do we invade next? Will the liberal left get on board with this winning strategy as the NYT so amply implies? Also this is exactly what Mohammad did for Islam. They had no unemployment problem. All jihadists were employed. They collected booty (slaves too for labour later as the Nazis did) and made a good living.
Jihad for employment … YEP that’s what America needs NOW!
Islam is the only political system that you can pratice “legalized” slavery in todays world, so there is a trade off. You have to be muslim. Jack’s not ready to make that trade off.
This reminds Jack of something from his past. It goes like this. Muslims will tell you … Mohammad set 63 slaves FREE! He abolished slavery. Yea and when Jack was in school he took all of the Trig teaches answer books (3 of them) and when the teacher found out she asked that they be returned. Jack did just that! He gave 1 back and all was good
Jacks day started off GREAT! He ran some errands that he usually dislikes with a smile and a hitch in his step. Not long after coming home … he flipped on the TV and fired up the laptop. My god people are getting pissed. The American public is finally starting to wake up to what Obamis REAL policies are about!
The healthcare deal, cash for clunkers deal and all the government bailouts that has gone down lately … to spread the wealth around. Jack bought a home he could afford. Buys vehicles he can afford (and drives them 10+ years). Doesn’t run up credit card debt. You get the idea …he lives within his means. Now all of this doesn’t piss Jack off. He thinks we all should live within our means. He thinks the government should TOO!
My God now the man actually has called for his loyal followers to “snitch” on anyone that opposses his policies. The White House email servers should go down soon. Jack smells ALOT “fishy”.
This is what pisses Jack off. He and others like him that have lived within their means are soon going to have to pay for all those that refused to if more of Obamis policies are inacted. Not the people that didn’t. Hell they don’t have any money … remember. Now Obamis cronies have let the cat out of the bag … about taxes also. Higher taxes for the average Joe Q Public that pay the bulk of taxes already will be forth coming. Jack and people like Jack will be hit hard to pay for those that didn’t live within their means and Obamis fantasy fiscal world.
And that is Obamis whole fiscal policy … take from the ones that were responsible and give to those that were not. Now that the public is waking to this … they are getting pissed. Dems have labeled them angry mobs. Jack is calling them informed voters and nothing scares Dems more than an informed voter.
At least he enjoyed half his day. He hopes to enjoy at least half of tomorrow.
What are the elected officials doing on the paid vacations? Barney and his “life partner” is heading to California to catch some waves … dude! Now Barney doesn’t surf but Jack has no doubt he’ll lay on the beach … bottoms up.
This is the same Barney Frank that assured us Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac were sound. Then the government took them over. Since then it’s been ALL down hill under Barney Franks watch … and like a nightmare it just gets worse.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are linchpins of President Barack Obama’s housing rescue program, which aims to refinance or modify existing loans for up to 9 million Americans. But these commitments come at a cost, in part since the companies must pull the troubled loans from mortgage securities and recognize a loss.
As a result of housing mandates, dividend payments, downbeat expectations on housing and the economy “there is significant uncertainty as to our long-term financial sustainability,” Fannie Mae said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
…
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are operating under the government conservatorship until lawmakers decide on how to reform the congressionally chartered companies in a way that will both provide strong support for housing and protect taxpayers from future losses. The Obama administration in July said it would propose a resolution in February.
Yeaaaaa … let’s let the government dole out our healthcare now. They do such a great job at these things!
OMG now you must think Jack is a homophobe and islamophobe. Truth is if Barney Frank lived in an Islamic country he’d be put to death as Sharia law clearly calls for the death penalty for perfoming homosexual acts (actually Mohammad said toss them off a cliff) … well unless he was the leader of that country.
Come 2010 and 2012 … let’s toss these bums off a cliff (ballot box)! OMG is this “fishy” speech?
Homophobe naaa … islamophobe naaa … Jack just calls em as he sees um.
This year, Hodes voted in support of President Barack Obama’s stimulus package and for so-called cap-and-trade legislation. Both measures were finalized late in the legislative process and rushed to a vote before any individual member could read the bills.
Ca we safely say he voted on at least two bills he did not read?
Jack’s translation … How DARE you demand I do my $174,000 a year job. I only work 9 months a year for crying out loud! How am I supposed to read all that stuff! I didn’t sign on for this shit. I’m here for the free haircuts, free healthcare and all those perks that most Americans don’t get at their jobs. Oh and the DC hookers!
One question for Jacks readers. How many of you would still have your job if you told your employer … NO I’m not going to do my job!
Jack would be beating the asphault with those hookers if he did that!
!
Call him when you’ve made a decision!
