Well…read an interesting little study today where Doug Drake, the former head of revenue and tax analysis for the Federal Reserve, finds that dramatic cuts in taxes and spending like those that have been done since the repubs took control here in Michigan do nothing to increase prosperity or create jobs….read that again, the only thing that the repubs know how to do, that they take for their religion does not work! I know I’ve harped on this before but I think we in the middle and on the left need to keep shouting it until these idiots stop this crap…until they stop making this country crumble with their tax cuts for business and the rich…until they stop allowing children to go hungry for those same tax cuts…until they actually use facts and not faith for economic decisions…this is malfeasance on a grand scale and they need to be held accountable for it…it is just like what I was taught in my masters program…that you can never cut your way to growth…doesn’t work in business, doesn’t work in government either…geez…

Let’s go double dipping…
Well….it didn’t take long for the business and investment community to react to the debt bill by laying off thousands of workers and starting a huge selloff in stocks….what these idiot tea partiers have done is drive this country back into recession by their nonsensical budget cuts in a time of economic weakness…and I will predict right now that this dip is going to be just as severe as the super recession was and it looks like the prospects of me ever finding a job has just disappeared as business is going to sit on their money and not hire since demand is going to plummet. What excuse are the tp’ers going to make up when all of their beliefs on the economy are shown to be wrong? That the cuts weren’t big enough? Idiocy is still idiocy….and these people have the corner on it…what are their corporate masters going to do when their business is hurt deeply by this crap?
The second thing I wanted to talk about is the effort by the Koch brothers and their minions to steal the recall elections in Wisconsin by sending fake absentee ballots that have the wrong date of the election on it. Yep, that’s true…the repubs are using their favorite tools to steal elections in plain sight in Wisconsin…voter suppression with the fake enforcement of the new voter ID law (that doesn’t take effect until January 1st) and misleading voters to keep them from the polls. Haven’t we, as a people, had enough of this nonsense yet? We do need to take our country back from the thugs in the repub party that sanction this stuff. Geez….
