A ..another bush boom (thats not the name the link uses..but appropriate nonetheless)...
there is much reason to worry about this ..the economic recovery has clearly begun..yet unemployment will continue to accelerate at least through 2011...do the math...
the cynics will no doubt claim that this is a classic case of meet-the-new-boss-same-as-the-old-boss...i beg to differ ..IMAO..it was more of a case of things not getting bad enough fast enough to make voters change their minds and finally shitcan reagan-thatcher economics...being the ignorant sheep that they are..they will cling to reagan-thatcher as long as the dow jones and the GDP keep going up..even as they fall further behind on their bills...

The reason unemployment is increasing is to keep the price of oil low. I've been trying to get people to vote Republican to stop this.
The Democratic Party has opposed ANWR exploration, coal-to-liquids technology, oil shale exploration, outer continental shelf (OCS) exploration and increasing refinery capacity

My advice is to find those things that give pleasure and do them often without too much attachment and relax and wait for the show to end.
-Icelander-
I like free markets and all. Truly I do, at least in general, but there needs to be some kind of oversight in recognition of sustainability. Life works the same way, on a bunch of sustainable systems. Why not honor what made us what we are and take some lessons? Nature FTW!

obviously meant as sarcasm..but correct nonetheless .."schizophrenia" does apply to a bush boom in the sense that poverty spreads while more wealth is created....

Reagan-Thatcher economics are called neo-conservativeism. At the beginning of the bailouts many mainstream news outlets declared "Neo-conservativism is dead" or some using the word "The Free Market" instead. It basically means the same. However I doubt Obama will kill neo-conservativism. Either way it's too late to turn this around, America is over.

Montesquieu said, "There have never been so many civil wars as in the Kingdom of God." And I begin to feel that’s true. The shareholder is the excuse for everything."

Basically, unless "We the People" rise up and take our country back. And as long as we have our TV's to watch "American Idol" our Internet to watch porn, and Food Stamp cards to get chips and dip to go with the promise of "Everything will be better here soon", the people will stay sedated (oh did I mention all of the drugs both pharmaceutical and street keeping everyone high) and then yes, America is over.
There is yet hope. And it's not in Washington or Wall Street, it's us.
