What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

The giant newspapers are dinosaurs and will soon be web-only.

...as soon as the old people that still read them die off.

Which is a good thing (papers going digital, not old people dying off. I have no problem with old people). Printing papers isn't green.

Talk about a fantasy.....

Come to my town youngster. I'll take you out for a real meal but you'll have to be properly attired. No basketball jersey down to the knees, no butt cheeks hanging out, no long shorts down to the ankles, no goofy looking basketball shoes with sissy socks. Oh, and clean the spray paint off your fingertips too, eh? Thanks.

PS: We won't have to take the bus either.

I'm sorry, guy...my black Ferragamo Andrea lace-ups were having too much fun dropping three digits on primo drinks and din-din yesterday evening at Kuboya to stay online all night listening to your Payless Shoe Source wet dreams broadcasted from your living room corner. Didn't mean to leave you hanging like a wet towel.

I got back in from late night funsies around 5 a.m., didn't see you on. Figured you were getting your fatigued old man nap on so's you can face another glorious day bright-eyed and bushy-tailed by burning your retirement lifespan derping your fears on the internet along with your shitstain buddy again until beddy-bye.

How was the McDonald's breakfast today? Was that processed meat patty delish, or what?

How were Obama's Nielsen ratings? they were the second lowest ratings since 1993, lowest of any State of the Union since Clinton in 2000, which means, the country has tuned him OUT! Same old speech, same junk.

Obama admin winds down plan for ‘The Uninsurables’



TOWNHALL

WASHINGTON (AP) — Citing financial concerns, the Obama administration has begun quietly winding down one of the earliest programs created by the president’s health care overhaul, a plan that helps people with medical problems who can’t get private insurance.

In an afternoon teleconference with state counterparts, administration officials said Friday the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan will stop taking new applications. People already in the plan will not lose coverage.

Designed as a stopgap solution until the law’s full consumer protections are in effect next year, PCIP has served more than 135,000 people, a lifeline for patients with serious medical problems such as cancer and heart failure. But Congress allocated a limited amount of money, and the administration’s technical experts want to make sure it doesn’t run out.

Health and Human Services Department spokeswoman Erin Shields Britt said PCIP has “provided needed security to some of our nation’s sickest people.”

The plan covers people who have had problems getting private insurance because of a medical condition and have been uninsured for at least six months. Premiums are keyed to average rates charged in each state, which means they’re not necessarily cheap, often amounting to several hundred dollars a month for middle-aged individuals.

“We’re glad this program was here and able to help,” said Amie Goldman, who oversees the program in Wisconsin. “I’m certainly disappointed we won’t be able to serve everyone who has a need for this coverage.”

Doesn't matter, he's been re-elected by low information voters. The truth can now come out.

It's been proven a thousand times that you're an ultra-low information voter willing to believe any and every internet hoax if it makes Obama look bad.

So you're telling me you're taking solace in some inauguration Nielsen ratings... Because that soothes the sting of losing twice to a communist Muslim-loving Nazi negro radical named Hussein?

Yeah you can have your Nielsen ratings. We'll be over here taking the White House for another four years.

^^^^^ Oh the irony! The Vettebigot whined that he couldn't possibly endorse ONE single candidate in the previous election, because after 15 debates he still "didn't know enough about them to make a decision"....but hey, he "knew" Mitt Romney was moar qualified than any Negro President.

The Vettebigot DEFINES the term "low information voter".

The average American's lifetime share of the national debt is $482,367...

...your age determines your individual share; eg:

A child born today = $1,536,321

A 10-year old = $1,162,351

An 18-year old's share = $910,553

A 25-year old = $725, 921

A 50-year old = $242,970

A 62-year old = $112,662

A 75-year old = $58,323

A, 85-year old = $49,423

And that's the lowest amount the Lifetime Debt Share Calculator registers, here:

http://www.economicfreedom.org/2013/02/05/pro-business-or-pro-market-and-whats-the-difference/

Isn't it pleasant to realize that the average American born today is already $1.5 million in hock?

Good job, USSA!

The Nigger Is A Nut!

Germany and Spain are backing off on the green-energy subsidies


posted at 6:31 pm on February 17, 2013 by Erika Johnsen






For me, one of the most perplexing moments (out of the many) of President Obama’ State of the Union address last week was when he insisted that “as long as countries like China keep going all-in on clean energy, so must we.” So… because China is doing it, we must also relentlessly throw money we do not have at politically favored technologies now so awash in superfluous supply that its all they can do to keep their heads above water? China’s solar and wind industries are a hot mess of overcapacity, after the government got into the business of creating heady artificial incentives directing capital in their preferred green-energy direction — remind me of the appeal in continuing to do the same thing?

We don’t even have to look as far as China for extant examples of governments reaping the costly consequences of their prematurely sown venture socialism. Germany and Spain have for years fancied themselves forward-thinkers on the green-energy front, and have implemented a bunch of subsidies, standards, and regulations aiming to prop up what it seems environmentalists the world over have deemed to be the holy grails of renewable energy, but the fact that these technologies are not yet pragmatic nor affordable is being made especially stark by Europe’s recession. The fiscal squeeze means that put-upon consumers are rather less willing to finance politicians’ green-energy ambitions than usual, and Germany and Spain are dialing it down in the face of financial reality. The WSJ reports:


Germany subsidizes producers of renewable energy such as solar and wind power in part by imposing a surcharge on household electricity bills. As the industry has grown, demand for the subsidy increased, driving the surcharge higher. …

Fearing a voter backlash from anger over the lopsided financing of green energy, Ms. Merkel’s government on Thursday proposed putting a cap on the green-energy surcharge until the end of 2014 and then restricting any rise in the surcharge after that to no more than 2.5% a year. The government also plans to tighten exemptions, which would force more companies to pay, and achieve a cut in green subsidies of €1.8 billion ($2.42 billion). …

The Spanish parliament took a similar step on Thursday, passing a law that aims to curb rising household electricity costs by cutting aid to the renewable-energy industry. …

Among the changes in the Spanish system, the new law indexes certain subsidies and compensation to an inflation estimate that strips out the effects of energy, food commodities, and tax changes.

Spanish renewable-energy companies are highly perturbed, of course, that the government is “backing away from previous promises that it would ensure them a reasonable return on their investments,” but… shouldn’t the fact that the government has to ensure even just a reasonable return on their investments have raised some gigantic siren-accompanied red flags in the first place?

For Germany, some of these are meant to be short-term fixes as the government starts to look at comprehensive reform of their green-energy laws and taking it down on notch on all of the subsidies and mandates — forcing consumers to use particular products, before they can actually appeal to consumers on their own merits, will do that to ya.’

And we want to double down on following this expensive example, because…?

Tom HE LIED ABOUT HIS VIETNAM RECORD Harkin

Tom Harkin: No Spending Problem, Just a Misallocation of Wealth


The CPUSA can disband. It is obsolete, now that the morphing of the Democrat Party into the Communist Party is nearly complete:


Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) said on Thursday that U.S. government does not have a spending problem, but America suffers from “a misallocation of wealth.”

“I look at it this way,” Harkin said at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the law that includes the automatic spending cuts referred to as “sequestration”). “We’re the richest nation in the history of the world. That kind of begs the question doesn’t it? If we’re so rich, why are we so broke?”

That is, just because we have already spent the next two generations into debt is no reason to slow down the explosive growth of government, because there are still people out there we haven’t looted into bankruptcy yet. “Misallocation” is when people who create wealth don’t have it stolen from them.

Harkin sits on the Appropriations Committee. Most lowlifes have to wait for a riot to go looting, but Harkin does it for a living.

The debt has passed $16.5 trillion. But Democrats have only just begun to waste money. The spree won’t stop until the economy collapses. Then a population conditioned to turn to government for solutions will collapse into Democrats’ collectivist arms — or at least, that’s the plan.

Despite being softened up by decades of propaganda relentlessly inculcated by our socialist media and schools, not everyone is on board with this plan. That is why our society is preparing for war.

Damn straight! Their goals are the same.

Me no like commies...
Me no like democrats...
so....
Democrats ARE Commies!
Derpderpderp!

Nothing could be farther from the truth, of course.
Here's a helpful way to remember the difference, Vetty:

• The commies kicked your pathetic ass in Vietnam
• The Democrats kicked your pathetic ass in the last election

[richard_daily]

Commies kicked the shit out of Congressional Democrats and American liberals. American troops all but wiped the VC out, and killed their NV army replacements in HUGE numbers. Their gene pool will be fucked up for a hundred years.

Everything that went wrong in Vietnam can be laid at the feet of the pusillanimous Democrat Party and the murderous cowards who ran the government in their name. They started the war, they escalated the war, and then got wet legs, they sacrificed 58,000 better men than themselves for nothing.

It took a Republican liberal to bring them to the negotiation table after the Democrats completed their retreat by cutting off funds for the war. They left the Vietnamese to the Communists and out dead to a vain sacrifice, ya big stupid greasy butt fuck.

Ze Plane, Ze Plane!
