Looking for work?
A doctor from Israel says:
"In Israel the medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's testicles; we put them into another man, and in 6 weeks he is
looking for work."The German doctor comments:
"That's nothing, in Germany we take part of the brain out of a
person; we put it into another person's head, and in 4 weeks
he is looking for work."A Russian doctor says:
"That's nothing either. In Russia we take out half of the heart from
a person; we put it into another person's chest, and in 2 weeks he
is looking for work."The U.S. doctor answers immediately:
"That's nothing, my colleagues, you are way behind us. In the USA (about two years ago) we grabbed a person out of the Senate with no brains, no heart, and no balls. We made him President of the United States , and now ... the whole country is looking for work!!!!!!"- you probably thought Paul Ryan's GOP budget plan was sensible and well thought out, too...BuddhaHat

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C…In Germany a debate about the future structure of society is gaining momentum
Economists, psychologists, politicians, and businessmen are discussing the model of "Citizen's dividend"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cit…
Every German citizen will receive 1000 euros per month, regardless of whether he works or not, ie. this is not unemployment benefits.
Sort of like taxes have an equalizing function, but so does this, only from beneath.Key points:
-- Banks, loans and investors do not create jobs. Demand of the population creates a working economy and increased production.
-- The main issue is not about where to get money, but whether there is enough goods. The answer is obviously yes, we live in overproduction.
-- Revival of the family institution, ie when a woman can once again stay at home and get paid standard 1000 euros for housekeeping and child care.
-- Revival of the creative class, artists, musicians etc, and relieve the pressure of the labor market. The work is not a duty but a pleasure.There is a planned pilot project of 5 years in one part of Germany with high unemployment.
I am in absolute awe. Radically opposite of everything American fatchumming cattle stands for. I'm contemplating of moving there.

@deathboy, cnaps and the usual rightwing jackboot party..
So what's your response to this: the Governor of Michigan seizing a town, firing the elected officials, and then handing it over to private enterprise. I’d like to hear about how this adheres to your principles of getting big evil socialist government off your back, etc. So here is a Republican governor usig the power of the state to enforce his policies, overthrowing actually democratically elected local government..

I await your serious commentary, outrage and funny animated gifs and clever pun cartoons about Big Government seizing absolute power from elected local officials and handing power over to private entities.

Obama: Mistakes? Can't think of any.
http://washingtonexaminer.com/bl…Seven years ago, in April 2004, President George W. Bush held a formal news conference in which he was asked, "What would your biggest mistake be...and what lessons have you learned from it?" Bush's hemming and hawing answer -- in several minutes of flailing about, he never managed to come up with a single mistake to cite -- was widely criticized in the days that followed.
On Wednesday, President Obama held a town hall at the headquarters of Facebook in Palo Alto, California, during which he was asked, "If you had to do anything differently during your first four years, what would it be?" Obama, it turns out, is no better at analyzing his own missteps than Bush.

A grim Easter for the Obama presidency: Washington Post/ABC News poll delivers another blow to the White House
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/new…‘Economy is Battering Obama in the polls’:
Driving the downward movement in Obama’s standing are renewed concerns about the economy and fresh worry about rising prices, particularly for gasoline. Despite signs of economic growth, 44 percent of Americans see the economy as getting worse, the highest percentage to say so in more than two years.The toll on Obama is direct: 57 percent disapprove of the job the president is doing dealing with the economy, tying his highest negative rating when it comes to the issue. And the president is doing a bit worse among politically important independents.

While we were venting our outrage at shenanigans in Wisconsin politics, in fact while Republicans were planning last night’s attempted coup, the Michigan state legislature quietly passed a bill giving the Governor of Michigan martial control over the state. Except instead of using actual military, the Governor is more likely to use private security. But make no mistake–rights would be suspended.
Here’s how it works:
The governor, on his own initiative, can declare an economic emergency in any town and appoint an administrator. The administrator can be any person, including a corporate person.
The administrator has the power to do anything in the name of economic stability, including void contracts, void collective bargaining agreements, dissolve the town council, dissolve the school board, fire anyone including elected officials, hire private security, unincorporate the town, and sell off public property.
The people of the town have no say in this. They can neither demand nor turn away the administrator. That is because this provision is meant to be used against the people.
What might constitute an emergency in the Governor’s eyes?
A labor strike is the first thing that comes to mind. Too many foreclosures. Crime! In short, anything he wants it to be–and with billionaire backers, any controversy can be created.
What might the administrator do in that emergency?
First, privatize everything. Fire public workers and take over all public functions–running schools, police and fire service, and so on. Michigan just made this legal.
Second, imprison dissidents, shutter businesses, and seize property by eminent domain. This is not legal, but hey, that didn’t stop the Wisconsin Republicans.
In short, take over control and turn it into a corporate town.
We need to pay attention to Michigan because they are farther along the road to corporate statehood–to where the Republicans want to take all of us.

Hey Ramface.
http://www.mlive.com/politics/in…is this what you're talking about?
So he cut business tax. created a profit tax. .. Don't know enough about tax rates and there economy to really understand if thats good or bad. But i dont like the idea of a profit tax and dont see much how that will make people want to make more. And seems a bit like gambling. Got rid of of earned income tax. Im ok with that.
As far as pensions, i dont know. never have had one. hell i dont even do matchmaking 401k. Figure that shit is just gambling. They bought in and now that the rates just went up they're upset. I understand being upset i woudl if my bet is costing more. They'll jsut bribe another candidate with votes to save their bets.
Michigan sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and other firms that don't file a federal return would no longer have to pay a business tax levy above and beyond what they pay in personal income tax. Snyder says such "double taxation" is unfair. - this seems nice.
And no i didnt read the bills. Just taking the news article with a grain of salt. Really fuck michigan I dont live there not enough concern to me to look into ot more then necessary.
And i didnt see anythign about a 200k park. Or ability to lock up dissidents or anything. Perhaps you have this bill number? Because what you said sounds like its right out of atlas shrugged. and seems a bit too far out there at this point.- If you had better writing and spelling skills maybe people would care what you think.DrBombay
- doubt it. i think that excuse is just an easy cop out. Dont care much if its read anyways.********
- plus cnap will just bury the post right after you write it.********
