Joe The Plumber is Dead, not really.

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Joe The Plumber is Dead, not really.

Not everyone is better off today like some on this forum have said they are.

The same thing has happened right here in the H'ville area to more than one vendor/sub contractor who helped build our home in 2006/07.

I thought everyone knew that risk is inherent in the capitalist system. Yes, Dumbya's great
recession kicked these folks in the ass big time, but nobody ever promised them guaranteed
success. So quite whining and go out there and get a job. Collect empties, get work at
McDonalds instead of sitting on your lazy ass and moaning. Damn ingrates.

Bungalow, you're sounding like Col T. Good boy. It took a while but the good Col finally made his point with you.

Hey Vred. The blame shoe is on the other foot. How's it feel? A bit uncomfortable I take it.

Obama promised his stimulus would fix things. It did not. Coupled with ObamaCare he and his house and Senate controlled Democrats made a bad situation worse.

Obama is no more capable of being President than Biden is keeping up with what state he is in.

Even Oliver Stone thinks Obama made a bad situation worse.

Oliver Stone, JFK assassination "expert"and renowned economist. Let's see, Obama's slow
recovery is worse than a great recession. Right.

I knew all that stuff before I'd ever heard of Col. Thorny or Herman Cain, for that matter.

Dunno Bungalow. Ask Oprah or the experts on the view, or that financial wizzard Letterman?

They're not my kind of (entertainment) people, but it doesn't take an expert of any kind
to know that a slow recovery is better than a severe recession.

They obviously were had a successful growing business. They obviously were giving out to many benefits for a small business. They must have borrowed to much money and expanded to fast.

Pluming businesses do not pay 401k match 100% or give health care.

They ran that business like Obama is running the country. Both are bankrupt.

the country has been broke since runnie reagan drank the bs tinkle down theory started borrowing from our grandchildren to pay for tax cuts to the rich

this bs has continued through papa bush (even though he called it voodoo economics)

paused briefly under the realistic leadership of clinton

and exploded again under lil bush

agreed, obama has bought into it to. he should have eliminated the bush tax cuts for the rich 3 years ago and our economy would be further along toward recovery from republicon destruction

Well the plumbing business went into bankruptcy, the country didn't. For good or ill,
the U.S. government has never been a business.

I think increasing the money supply is a form of bankruptcy reorganization. Just called something different.
