ODDS
AND TRENDS
The
good news about the unemployment situation is that the number of people losing
their jobs every month is going down.
It
has not gone unnoticed that the numbers of unemployed are going up.
Of
course, with fewer people still working, there are many fewer jobs to lose.
If
we keep on going with this good news, in another ten years there will be twice as many
unemployed, but only fifteen people a month left to lose their jobs.
By
that time, there will be six hundred billionaires, twenty three trillionaires,
the Republican Party will not only control the White House, the Senate, and the
House of Representatives, they will own the buildings and lease them back to
the American public.
Undaunted,
the fearless Democrats will continue their courageous fight to begin a conversation
about the possible regulation of all the financial institutions in the nation,
or, if they don’t get the talk going with somebody other than each other that soon, then facing total disaster, maybe they’ll
mention it a bit later, or at the latest, shortly after.
SUCH
A DEAL!
Boeing,
famous for bribing officials to get defense department contracts, is moving
some of the production of their new 787 Dreamliner to South Carolina.
Undercover
reports uncovered the terms of the true sweetheart deal that turned the trick
for Boeing. Boeing is to receive a
couple of hundred million dollars up front cash, plus god know how much more in
low interest loans, freedom from pesky unions, and a mintful of tax advantages.
In
return, they will provide Governor Mark Sanford with an uncovered soul-mate in
any three South American countries of his choosing.
DONE
AND DONE
Senator
Joe Lieberman, commenting on his decision to vote against the Health Care
Reform bill said, “Doing nothing is better than a public option.”
Well,
if we want Senators to do nothing, old Joe is just the man for the job.
FAIR
IS FAIR
Many
people are protesting the news that Goldman Sachs and other leading banking
institutions got a large supply of the swine flu vaccine for their employees,
while hospitals desperate to gain some for use with children and pregnant
mothers went without.
They
should stop their whining complaints.
We are talking about high-risk use here, and what population is in more
need of swine flu than the swine.
My heartfelt and abject apologies for the slurs contained in this item. This correction is being added to the posting after it had already been published. The great investment banks and insurance giants actually had to have the vaccine to protect the highest risk group in the nation -- their investors and customers.
