Reply #37: COMPLETELY OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY

[DIKB]

-Last year marked the first in HISTORY that someone working full time for minimum wage couldn't afford a one bedroom apartment ANYWHERE in the U.S.

-The Debt Ceiling had to be raised so that they wouldn't default on treasury notes.

-The ACTUAL unemployment is guessed to be hovering at about 10% (They stop counting you once you stop drawing).

-The oil supply in the reserves is estimated to be where it was in 1999, yet light crude is higher than $66 a barrel due to a weakened dollar.



Why it LOOKS good ?

-Due to offshore home offices, outsourced jobs, NAFTA + CAFTA, and cheaper immigrant labor goods are relatively cheap.

-Corporate profits are higher than ever, especially for CEOs and oil companies.



So go on ahead Chimpy, tout the strong economy, let the companies remain unpenalized and keep their cheap illegal labor. Blue collar citizens struggling to get by will send you and your cronies packing.
