Pretty sure WWI had a hand in it.
That is what we need.. Another world war.. Kill of plenty of people, and we create more jobs manufacturing weapons. (more or less a joke)
There are a lot of things we could do that can help out the situation.
One thing would be to put a cap on gas prices. If gas prices don't start going up again (which they already are), then people have more money in their pockets, and are more likely to spend that money on other shit- stimulating the economy.
Another thing I think Obama should do, is stop showing up every fucking where. He doesn't need to fly to fucking Denver to make a speech. He doesn't need to fly to God damn Canada to convince them the North American trade agreement will still be in effect. Same for all these large companies. It might not seem like that much, but little shit like that adds up. I think anytime we find members of congress going to spas, or big businesses giving out huge bonuses to everyone, they should be taxed hardcore.. Same goes for Obama and members of his cabinet. Leaders need to set examples. What kind of message is this giving? :
But then again.. What the fuck do I know? I'm just the asshole that is going to have to pay off all this debt.

Why should the rich be taxed more? Doesn't make any sense. Don't penalize the rich just because they have money. Those are the thoughts of an angry, bitter broke person.
If they really wanted to stimulate the economy, they should wipe out everyone's debt and erase the credit score system altogether. They should also get rid of high interests. In my opinion, these greedy banks are to blame for a lot of the economic problems.

No what happened was sometime in the 90's someone decided everyone is entitled to a house. Banks were given bonuses from the government for giving out these loans to people with not so good credit. Which in return brought on lots and lots of people who really can't afford these homes. With all this money on loan with little to no return these big banks could no longer operate thus throwing us into this housing crisis.
it also doesn't help that we have been spending trillions of dollars for this war we are never going to win.

What would happen if everybody with a credit debt (credit card, gas card, store card) decided to simply stop paying their bill for a scheduled/coordinated 6 months or just stop paying altogether????????? Who would suffer the most the banks or the people that owe the banks??????? Who would benefit the most, the people breaking themselves from living on credit or the banks that neeed people to live on credit???????
It really doesn't. The most logical and fair application of taxation would be to tax each person equally for the amount of resources and utilities they are consuming/utilizing.
If individual A has 1,000,000 in the bank but lives in the woods in a house and supports his or herself without any public programs etc; they should pay less in taxes than individual B who has 0 in the bank but relies on government assistance, calls the police monthly, and utilizes public programs.
The economy is fucced up everybody knows that shit, but it is time to take advantage of this fucced up housing market- example I am about to snatch up a 4bd/3bath crib with a pool in a good area for the kids for $172,000 bacc in 2004 this house would of been about 280,000. But alot of fools are loosing those jobs, lets C if Obama can do something to help the economy and if he doesn't it ain't his fault- bad timing.
Really it can all go back to FDR in creating welfare and social security. Alot of these bullshit freebie programs the government hands out. while on paper they sound great but in reality humans will be humans and will try to manipulate the system for their own personal gain. thus promoting laziness and straight up theft of hard working american tax dollars.
I am all for helping the needy but when I see these fucking mothers with 10 kids living off section 8 collecting free checks and rent with no means to better themselves, yes I get a little pissed off about it. Or adults with fuckin ADD. A FUCKING D D claiming disability. get the fuck out of here.
Welfare is a great idea but thats really all it is an idea. it will never work and is a waste of resources.
