Both parties abandon the jobless

I live in Boston now and the job market is totally fucked up. Employers only interview currently employed applicants with the exact or more job experience and required degree (4 year business degree needed to be a secretary and 2 year criminal justice degree for a security guard).

Frum and other Republican operatives try every conceivable way to make the Dems. seem as bad as Repubs. so dummies turn against good government as well as bad government.

Non-dummies know there is a necessity in society for government, good government being the most desired.

If Republican operatives are successful at convincing dummies ALL government is bad then Republicans, the masters of snake oil selling, can continue ripping off society.

We all may be some dumb but we all are not plum dumb. You can't cure stupid.

"One afternoon on my way to the subway, I paused in front of one of these signs in the window of a restaurant that catered to students. I stood maybe 10 seconds, maybe 12. The manager bolted out, put his hand on my shoulder: "Hey -- you want a job?"

This happened to me once recently.

Then I woke up.

David Frum's opinion is worth about 1/10 of a Canadian nickel ... and he would know, since he is Canadian.

My questions: were the millions of unemployed voters active last November? Were there any polls by [major] media outlets identifying anything other than who was/not for the Tea Party Movement, a Republican or Democratic supporter? There has been little or no mention how as a minority in the Senate, Republicans used the filibusterer in record amounts thus causing monumental problems for the very American people they were supposed to be protecting. While there is finger pointing and factual evidence for both Democrats and Republicans; no solutions by individuals or parties have lessened the problem of unemployment. Any discussion of jobs or their creation is always overshadowed by "the debt ceiling" or "holding Americans hostage" etc. With no real solutions in mind, would it be fair to say Americans as a whole or in part have chosen to be spectators rather than participants in solving crisis' rather than producing solutions? Whether unionized or not, whether retired with a pension or not, a college graduate or not; jobs for millions of unemployed/underemployed workers are the issue. Corporate "uncertainty" hasn't closed GE, name a major bank, holding company or stock market, nor reduced CEO salaries of AIG, Fannie Mae or Freddi Mac. I have noticed "certainty" in rising corporate profits and frustration levels of unemployed/underemployed American citizens. Is it too late to ask all influential parties to consider not exporting jobs abroad? Is it too late to ask multinational American corporations to consider America their 1st priority?

We are abandoning the jobless. We vote for Tea Party candidates, we buy exports from China, we allow our schools to degrade, we vote against tax breaks for SMALL businesses, we provide welfare for large corporations to pour money overseas. Don't blame the politicians, we put them there and they truly represent us.

Who abandoned the jobless? The captains of industry is who. The GDP is up. CEO pay is up. The economic ship is leaking and the captains and crew have their lifeboat guarded and prepared to leave with their "booty" before any passengers know what perils they face. (Not all the crew is included on the lifeboat boarding list either!)

Corporatist hypocrites.

I'm no fan of David Frum, but I have to agree that both parties have abandoned the jobless. Obama has allowed the Reps to hijack his stimulus bill and it's gone down hill from there with his compromising. Obama has totally deferred to the Reps tax cut and corporate welfare agenda.

A Civil, Civil War. An idea occurred to me that one way out of debt is to fake our own death. We can do this easily by dividing the nation, and renaming ourselves, and becoming separate countries. Because...then who do you send the bill too?

Also, nobody has to fight or get bloody. I mean sure, we could if we wanted to make a show of it, but I'm sure that Ultra conservatives will have no quarrel about being in a separate country from Liberals.
If we can just agree on territory lines, etc, then we can amicably split.

Conservatives can enjoy their country of zero taxes for the rich, will have a 2 class society, and will re-institute slavery as a cheap source of labor, to prevent "outsourcing jobs". Also their health care will resemble the health care available to Americans of the 1700s. -Their primary export will be guns, soldiers, slaves, and oil.

Liberals will invest in education, will have an even tax across the board so that each will pay what they can. Education and Healthcare will be a universal benefit. They will produce more scientists, and thus will have better technology.
Since few corporations are willing to pay such high employee costs, there will be few private sector jobs. Most jobs will be in banks, health care, government, technology, and small businesses.
Because of the fail-safes placed in the government to protect against corruption (which led to the split in the first place), government officials are subject to more restraints, and laws are only passed once they pass the house, congress, and popular vote. If the popular vote fail, the law is dead, and goes back to the drawing board. Any money that goes unaccounted for sends a red-flag, and gets immediate investigation and prosecution.
Unlike conservatives who want to keep their lower-class docile and stupid, liberals know that all things are connected, and the strength of the nation is shown by it's weakest link. They have the benefit of having a long history, and a good education. ...so there's little room for BS.

Conservatives will be free to enjoy the paradise in which they are trying to create.
Liberals will most likely develop a utopia [so long as the legislate with common sense, and not try to legislate 'crazy' or 'stupidity'.]

"Obviously, the results of those policies has been underwhelming, to put it mildly. On Sunday, The New York Times reported that the latest round of Fed easing -- $600 billion of direct money creation -- has not produced substantial results, in the opinion of most economists."

Geez, let me think this over............the speech writer for Mad King George III pointing out that the Dems and Obama haven't gotten anything "Right" after Mad King destroys the budget............. Hhmmmmm

And the Republic Syndicate's members have blocked, defeated, destroyed and patently lied about anything being done to Actually help the Not Rich.

Then the Maroon has the gall to say, "Well, at least we got a plan."
Add GN and the Kochtopus into the mix and you've got GREED and greed and Hate running the show.

"Norquist favors dramatically reducing the size of the government.[14] He has been noted for his widely quoted quip: "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub."

Frum is the David Duke of Republic Syndicate. Oh, so pleasant, respectable, seemingly rational, but, presenting the Syndicate's line.

When Reagan nearly tripled the National Debt from ~$900billion to ~$2.7trillion, the nation bought it. Nobody is going to let Obama take the National Debt from $11.8trillion to $35.4trillion in eight years, so that door for job recovery is closed. All of the other doors open to short paths to nowhere. As my Grandmother used to say......"we're in a dilly of a pickle".
