Marxist Tools
One thing that chaps me is when people blame hedge fund operators and their investors for “betting against” something or other. I would like to hear those same illiterate jackasses defend their own insurance in contrast. If they’re so tough and so pure, they should put money in a fund which only pays if they never get sick, and which assesses penalties beyond cost for medical care. Why, anything else is betting against your own health, right?
Supercommittee Fools
I can’t even keep up with this, but there’s a Continuing Resolution due in days or hours. The debt limit and the last CR have both run out of rope, and where is the talk of another shutdown? Here is proof that the Republican Party is simply sorking against the Tea Party. After all the confusion and delay, the fact is that now that there’s another CR required, we won’t even fight against it. Not gonna fight the CR. Not gonna fight the debt ceiling. Not even gonna fight on the Supercommittee.
This is supposed to be a huge dust-up between the Marxist Democrats and the Conservative Republicans.. Except that we don’t have any of the latter. Witness Jeb Hensarling, the Republican co-chair of the Supercommittee and by far the one with the most conservative record putting his foot in his mouth this week. He lectured CONSERVATIVES that there were just going to have to be new taxes. Can’t negotiati without them. Or some such thing. I don’t recall exactly what he said. I do recall my exact two-word rebuttal.
I’ll add to this as I go.
