It Ain’t Over Until

the Jobs Come

Back — Period!

So I’m watching these talking heads on CNBC telling America that the signs of a recovery are there. They are lying and not just merely misled. They are flat lying, hoping some suckers out there will start making purchases to jump-start America’s consumer-driven engine, and to a small degree it is working. All I can tell you is this: When your money is spent, it is GONE, okay? If there is not a corresponding and reliable, ongoing source of income to offset your purchases, don’t make the purchases. Is there anyone, outside of Jackson County, Oregon, the stupidest county in all the Universe, that does not understand this concept? (Jackson County, Oregon has about 210,000 residents, and they maintain something like 13-15 library branches to keep a bunch of otherwise needless people employed on the taxpayers’ dime. The residents of Jackson County largely think this is a great idea, yet the population in general is terribly uneducated and has nothing to show for all the libraries. Yes, they really are intensely stupid here!)
Unless and until the U.S. Jobs Report begins to list positive job gains, this recession/depression is not over, and I don’t care what any alleged financial expert has to say otherwise.
Once again, I am going to point out that this whole mess did NOT start with Bush 43 and his undeclared war. That was merely an exacerbation of this economic mess that started with President Bill Clinton signing onto the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the General Agreement on Trade And Tariffs (GATT) — against his Democratic Party lobby. NAFTA and GATT were, hands down and indisputable, the most heinous acts of treason ever committed against the citizens of the United States, and not a shot needed to be fired to accomplish it.
NAFTA and GATT virtually eliminated the trade protections we had to preserve our exceptionally high standard of living. We are a nation of just 310 million people who once enjoyed a standard of living that was the envy of all the world. We have now been thrown into a global economic cauldron that makes our ability to compete for wealth creation “equal” with the rest of the world, even though we had all the natural resources and form of government that made us able to out-perform every other nation on the planet.
