Republicans just love to wrap themselves in the America flag, to show everyone how patriotic they supposedly are, but what they really want to do is destroy the country.
They've figured that this is the best way that their hideous political party can benefit. What they are hoping to do is destroy the country's economy beyond repair, the they will blame it on the Democrats in power, this way, they think
that a gullible public will agree to
return them right back into power, so they can continue doing what
they have always been doing, brutally raping . . .us . . .
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE, AN EFFECTIVE STIMULUS PROGRAM
I know a lot of people who are unemployed right now, in this horrible economy. They're real people, and my heart goes out to them, but I get the feeling that they're ashamed to be collecting benefits, as if they are freeloading, and they're really not doing that.
Unemployment compensation is their right, they have been putting money into the
system, they have been paying into it
all their lives, all the years they've been lucky enough to have a
job and to be working.
The unemployment money has been coming out of every paycheck they've ever had, so it's only fair that they get some of that money back, now that they need it.
But the Republicans, who really are viscous people, and especially the Republican commentators on TV and radio, they yack about so rudely and so full of lies, they act as if the poor people who are unemployed are a bunch of welfare cheats who are somehow stealing this money and somehow damaging the overall economy . . .

. . . Furthermore, it is NOT a selfish thing
to collect on your insurance payments, after you need it, and after
you've paying into it your whole life. It's not necessarily a
selfish thing to collect unemployment money, because the entire
economy benefits from it.
. . . EVERYONE benefits from this insurance program. All the economists agree on this, that unemployment insurance is one of the most effective stimulus programs ever. When you are unemployed and flat out broke, you get a check, in the form of desperately needed money, and then you spend it, you have to, and this helps every single sector of the economy, immediately.
Everyone benefits, because when the
unemployed have money to spend, then they spend it, they have to, and
they spend it immediately, on all the necessities, from rent to food
to health care to car repair and so on.
The money is IMMEDIATELY put back into the economy, further spurring economic activity, in every sector, and therefore more job growth.

But by denying people the unemployment
money which they are entitled to, then the effect (which the
Republicans are deliberately creating) is to set in motion a very destructive
and out-of-control downward spiral, where the less money people
have to spend on necessities, then the less money that will end up
circulating in the general economy, and then even those who are employed
will be affected.
(Y)ou too are at an increased risk of entering the
unemployment roll if everyone around you is too broke to buy your
stuff. There's a major ripple effect here that gets nipped in the
bud, due to this great program, which us Democrats created, the
Unemployment Insurance system.
OBAMA'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Obama has been in office for only 18 months, but he's had a lot of accomplishments already:
Two SUPREME COURT appointments, Elena
Kagen is yet to be confirmed,
but Sonia Sotomayor was confirmed last
year, becoming the first Hispanic justice to sit on the US
Supreme Court . . . Sotomayor is known to hold many of Obama’s ideas
and reflects his determination to move the court to the left after eight
years of right-wing leaning judgments;
HEALTH CARE REFORM, when predecessors going back many decades have
failed. Although health-care reform
could spell political trouble, it will have positive effects, in the
long-term, but those effects will not be noticed for a long time to
come. And Democrats have a midterm election to contend with, just 4
months from now;
. . . the $787 billion ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE that has held its own against the worst economy since the Great Depression;
. . .CREDIT CARD REFORM; . . . STUDENT LOAN REFORM; and FINANCIAL REFORM, there's a lot to be said on that.
THE FINANCIAL REFORM BILL
A bill Obama is expected to sign soon will reform the laws governing banks, lenders, credit-card firms and the rest of the financial industry. This reform is aimed at preventing another repeat of the types of problems that caused the huge financial crisis that plunged our nation at the end of the Bush presidency. . .
The new law that Obama is expected to sign will allow (for) the seizing of those failing financial institutions that are so large that their collapse would take the whole country down with them.
There is an orderly process established for government to re-sell those seized properties so that we, the American taxpayers, are not hooked to pay for the losses.
Banks will have to keep more money on hand to cushion the risk of bad investments and to cushion the dangerous practice of derivative trading.
There will be more consumer protections built into the system. . . (T)he American
people, should never be held hostage
again and we should never be
forced to pay for Wall Street's
expensive mistakes . . .
Obama's main concern is "Main Street", as opposed to "Wall Street",
and that doesn't sit well with
Republicans, they actually think that
YET TO BE RESOLVED
What Obama still needs to work on, if
he can ever get around the Republican obstructionists, is the
strengthening of America's commitment to Nuclear
Non-proliferation, energy and climate change
legislations, a comprehensive
immigration reform, expanding education
opportunities, and then there are the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and also the ongoing ecological
disaster in the Gulf of Mexico which has still not fully been resolved.
OBAMA WORKS& READS TIRELESSLY
Obama is not like Bush, who was once
quoted as saying that he doesn't like to read. Obama reads at least 10
unvetted letters every day, from the American people (linked
below), so he's very much in touch with the electorates' sentiments.
All this should be appreciated, it's certainly a welcome record of accomplishments after eight long years of a very irresponsible and destructive Republican rule.

America is now finally on the right track. Let's enjoy it while it lasts, because most experts predict that the Democratic majority in the House and Senate will be cut drastically, in the next midterm election.
History has shown that presidents court trouble by doing big things, and the president's party typically loses seats in the midterm elections. Great legislative success tends to generate great political opposition.
SABOTAGING THE ECONOMY
Americans tend to vote their
pocketbooks, and if the economy does not lift out of the doldrums, then voters
will rebel, against the party in power (and that would be the
Democrats). This is exactly what the Republicans want, this is why they are
deliberately trying to sabotage our economy with the way they are
constantly obstructing much needed legislations, and their filibusturing
of unemployment benefits is a perfect example of that.
Here's to hoping against all hope that
a sizable majority of the American people will see the truth and
get out the vote next November.
It is my sincerest hope that a sizable majority of the American people will be able see right thru all the malicious hype and nasty propaganda and the FOX Noise machines out there and return the Democrats to power next November.
Our country needs them. Thanks for reading my posts.
