CITIZEN EDITORIAL CARTOONS

Was that gut right when he sang of a foreman telling the laid off workers, “these jobs are going boys and they won’t be coming back?” Below you can see unemployment has recovery on the ropes in the preliminary bout at the Madison Square.

Below you will see the main event where the relationship between Wall Street profit and jobs becomes clear. The profits corporations, many of them TAPRED,  make bears little to do with the needs of the country. There are now three classes of people very concerned about their source of income: 1. the unemployed 2. the under employed 3. those who have fallen of the charts. In the mean mean time the government seeks to print it’s way out of the train wreck it caused.

 In Dumpstervill life goes on much the same as always with politics being a main concern.

Even though underemployed some still mindlessly cling to the old ways. They seek to conserve and are against anyone who advocates progress.

What about the future? Will we be saved by the lucrative contracts Obama is working out with the Chinese?

One thing you can count on is that the bureaurats will continue to provide aid to Americans facing hardship.

Still, picked to the bones by government costs many are to proud to accept help.

Aside from the robust job creation in other countries there was recently some good news for Americans in the headlines.

Below Misters Drip & Drop of The 6:01 News investigate the murder of Mr Dollar, popular American hero.

A lot of what is going on is shocking, but it should be remembered that people get the government they deserve in most cases. Maybe if people paid 10% of the attention to whom was managing the public store as it does to whom is in the playoffs, we wouldn’t be in this fix.

In the wake of the financial crisis all sorts of creatures found their way to the public though. It took Sen Sanders over a year and a half to find out where the money went and the results of his investigation are every bit as discouraging as they are unsurprising. So when you go to McDonald’s for your McFed or crank up your hog you have reason to thank Bernanke and Obama for the rumble of your hog and the federally enhanced flavor of your McFed.

And while you are being thankful, you may as well include Sen, Sanders for the difficult task of prying the information from the jaws of aFED that may not be proud of its work, but is at least cagey enough to try to hide its misdeeds.

Sen Sanders writes in conculsion, “ 

We have begun to lift the veil of secrecy at one of most important agencies in our government. What we are seeing is the incredible power of a small number of people who have incredible conflicts of interest getting incredible help from the taxpayers of this country while ignoring the needs of the people.” link to Huffington Post article http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rep-bernie-sanders/a-real-jaw-dropper-at-the_b_791091.html

Tax cuts to the rich and unemployment benefits are important issues, but pale in comparison to the elephant in the living room that is, the size and expense of government. I wonder if Obama will ever consider that the government is too large and too expensive and downsize it by about 30%. Since he is a Lame Duck downsizing government would be an appropriate parting gift and amends to the people who supported him who he has consistently failed to support. Obama leave in style, make amends and find something to occupy yourself that you are better equipped to do. As a progressive/independent I once sent him money, get no pleasure in seeing how he acted once elected and hate to admit that Hillary was right when she said we didn’t know him, unfortunately we knew her only too well..

Picked to the bone by beltway buzzards this tax payer has only the hope that he be helped no more.
