"It must be said that, by any measure, the achievements of the Obama Administration and the outgoing Congress have been impressive. The health care bill is the most significant piece of social legislation since Medicare. The stimulus package saved the country from a second great depression. The financial reforms should prevent a repeat of the worst Wall Street practices in the future. All this was done in the first two years of a young President’s first term. And yet many who supported Obama in 2008 stayed home in 2010, not seeing the compelling reasons or the hope that they felt two years ago."
Does anyone really believe this:
The health care bill is the most significant piece of social legislation since Medicare.
Or, does anyone with half a brain other than Obama's hacks really believe this?
The stimulus package saved the country from a second great depression.
In fact, these are words taken right out of the "talking point" memos being widely distributed by Democratic Party hacks hoping to find someone, anyone, even assholes, who will believe this crap.
Poverty continues to rise as unemployment and underemployment at poverty wages climbs to levels that even if Rosy Scenario were to appear nude no one would give her a second thought or a second glance; the poverty index is out of sight in this country with over 95 million people, working class families, now living in poverty unable to obtain the very basic necessities of life. We are not talking about numbers and statistics; we are talking about living breathing human beings for whom the struggle to survive on a daily basis is now a very real crisis of everyday living and this "Communist" publication called Political Affairs has degenerately morphed into an American version of the French "l'Humanite;" a sick joke-book for the coupon clipping Wall Street yuppie crowd both enamored with the flying saucer seeing little wimp from Cleveland, Dennis Kucinich.
Who the hell is the "left" if it does not include the Communist Party USA as its leading voice? Which means it is up to the CPUSA to provide real alternatives in a timely manner to the problems being experienced by working people instead of cow-towing to the "lead" of a pathetic Wall Street flim-flam man and con artist extrodinaire.
Is it rally too much to expect of a Communist Party to place before an angry Nation the idea that in order to create an economy putting the needs and requirements of working people before corporate profits that and alternative agenda of ending these dirty imperialist wars and taxing the rich and corporate profits to put people back to work employed at jobs solving the immediate problems of the people and society is too much to expect when we have known for four years that the kind of regressive legislation now being offered as a bi-partisan compromise was going to be placed on the table instead of free lunches for hungry school children? Any Marxist knows that you put unemployed people to work solving the problems of the people with the government becoming the employer of first choice to solve the kind of capitalist economic mess we are confronting as a Nation.
Yes; IMHO is always said before an asshole makes a comment.
Has anyone heard any suggestion from the CPUSA whose Economics Commission is supposed to be on the job finding these very alternatives?
Another article in this used-to-be Communist journal written by none other than the self-described "lonesome hobo" himself, the lead economic expert (LOL!!!!) for the CPUSA declares:
IMHO: Can the left offer a real alternative?
IMHO -- if you really recommend voting no on the tax deal, you need to have a practical, immediate alternative to the immediate impacts on unemployment, and tax rises for workers that will otherwise take place.
According to the "Urban Dictionary" here is the definition of IMHO:
| IMHO | ||
Supposedly "in my humble opinion", this is always said before someone makes an asshole comment that is not at all humble. Much like "no offense" precedes an offensive comment. | ||
