What if you held a stimulus party and nobody showed up?
What happens when there's no one left to buy US treasuries issued to fund the stimulus plan? The USA is broke. Does the IMF step in and force countries to loan us the money? This is beginning to look like the end game to me.
I ignored it, I want to write a piece: Obama-nomics: Waiting for the fairy dust
Seems like we need hard work to build back the economy, but how can we work if we are unemployed?
Factories are closed and need to be opened, that simple. The owners of the properties that locked the doors need to lose their rights to ex post facto, and put away for deliberately destroying the economy, along with the people that CONTINUE to ship jobs and assets overseas.
Here is my economic manifesto, it is revolutionary but mirrors much of what John Wesley said, who started the Methodists: http://thinman.com/rattlesnake
Volunteer government: An idea I had after watching (my) Connecticut state governor Jodi Riehl on TV (displaying how much she enjoyed cutting children's programs while) saying how much she regretted having to do so many cuts.
She said that bloat in bureaucracy is over, not realizing that she is the bloat. What is funny is that she is barely mentioned anywhere in relationship to Connecticut on Google. What is sad is that Connecticut was in a recession six months before the recent market crash, and Connecticut is a "Wall Street" annex both in terms of companies and commuting.
Trying to volunteer is a waste of time; I tried to do this for the homeless through churches. Mainly people with any positions of responsibility are so nervous that they may be found out as irresponsible that they reject any help.
