CITIZEN EDITORIAL CARTOONS: UNITED CORPORATIONS OF EARTH

February 2nd, 2011

At some point in the not too far future citizens of The United Corporations of Earth will  wonder about their past and read the history of the UCE. This is what they will find.

While there will be no Bill of Rights in the Constitution of the UCE other provisions will be made.

Tradition is important in the UCE and none more so than buying politicians.

Illitteracy reaches new heights.

New players take the field.

Protect our industrial base.

The Chinese are a great people and they make a lot of things we need, but there are limits.

How will our politicians feel about working for foreigners.

Citizen Editorial Cartoons: Jobs and Economics

January 27th, 2011

The unemployment situation has now reached disastrous proportions and remains unaffected by the rise in the stock market or of profits shown by major corporations. Never was it more clear that the interests of Wall Street and Main Street are not at all the same, that what’s good for one may not be good for the other and that one can prosper while the other withers. Currently profits are widely announced as if they are good news for all, as if they are the recovery, but the reality is they benefit few and represent a clarion call to a government that provids incentives for outsourcing jobs to other countries. Never was the relationship between profit and jobs more clear than the Madison Square Garden match up between Max Profits and Hugh Jobs.

So what is really needed?

Citizen Editorial Cartoons: JOBS MISPLACED OR GONE

January 23rd, 2011

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.

Inflation: Cold Dark Homes

November 12th, 2010

No Inflation? Grocery Stores, Gas Prices Tell Different Story article title CNBC

So what’s with the media blop from the beltway bureaurats about there being no inflation. Misters Drip & Drop hosts of The 6:01 News discuss this below.

 

So if we aren’t foolish enough to believe what our distrusted leaders tell us, how can we know when the tides of inflation have  turned?

Certainly it would be futile to look at medical expenses.

Many have found things in the grocery store to be upsetting.

Others take things more instride.

 

Increasing numbers are running away fron to the security of our various wars.

Politicans want to print our way out of this delima, but some wonder how long they will be able to afford the ink?

 Others fear the fate of Mister Dollar, popular American icon.

In despair and desperation some seek a conservative bargain.

How About A Trickle Up Recovery

October 23rd, 2010

Since it is believed that what goes up must go down it’s axomatic that what goes down must go up.  We have been long in waiting for the promised trickle down benefits and maybe what we need is trickle up policies?

 

Of the many new current experiences none is more striking than the below picture of Uncle Sam doing a new kind of business at The Spank of America.

 

Where exactly are these much heralded profits comming from? 

 Some seem to be adjusting.

 

Seems not only people can play games, governments are in the mix.

 

Some see the FIVE HUNDRED BILLION as spelling the beginning of the end for Mr Dollar, popular American hero. 

Misters Drip & Drop discuss a way out every bit as novel as it is unlikely.  

Down with trickle down!

In an endless series of press conferences the government has sought to come to terms with the economic woes of the country. However many question the appearance of a new player on Wall Street, as if they don’t have enough problems already.

 

Mr Drop feels a peculiar uncomfortability.

 

JUST TO THINK IT ALL BEGAN WITH A SCREAM IN THE GROCERY STORE.

Still we must be kind and make allowances for the age we live in.

THE FIRST CLUE CAME IN AN E-MAIL FROM OBAMA SEEKING SUPPORT. IN THE E-MAIL HE SAID THAT, “NOT ALL GREST IDEAS CAME FROM THE BELTWAY.” AND HE WAS GOING TO SEEK THE WISDOM OF THE FOLK OR SOME SUCH. I WAS INSPIRED BY THE CONCEPT OF GREAT IDEAS FROM THE BELTWAY AS I HAD BEEN HOPING FOR JUST THAT FOR ABOUT 49 YEARS. I GOOGLED, “GREAT IDEAS BELTWAY.” NOTHING, BUT BEILIEVING I’D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO BELIEVE IN OBAMA I HUNG IN AND GOOGLED, “BELTWAY GREAT IDEAS.” YOU KNOW THE REST. NONE OF WHAT FOLLOWERS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO MEAN WE AREN’T SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER OFF WITH OBAMA THAN McCain AND THAT’S NOT EVEN CONSIDERING McCain IS ON THE ENDANGERED SPECIES LIST AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT PRESIDENT PALIN. OH MY!
NO NATION HAS EVER BROKEN MORE TREATIES WITH OTHERR NATIONS THAN AMERICA DID WITH THE NATIVE AMERICANS! THE APPALING CONDITIONS THAT PREVAIL ON RESERVATIONS, THE QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES THAT PERTAIN TO NATIVE AMERICANS TODAY AND THE CONTINUING IMPRISONMENT OF LEONARD PELITIER MUST BE ADDRESSED BEFORE AMERICA CAN SING THE GLORIES OF ITSELF.
SO WHERE IS ALL THE MONEY OBAMA PLANS TO SPEND COMING FROM?

THIS EDITION OF THE 6:01 NEWS WAS ENTITLED, “SMARTY PANTS.”
AND NOW IT SEEMS SMARTY PANTS IS ABOUT TO BECOME SECRETARY OF STATE
While no one claims to know the result, if any of the bailouts should history have any perdictive value at all it’s safe to perdict that today’s bailout advocates will distance themselves in the future. This is a picture of the first of the moves away from failed policy.
