There will be tsunami depression in the United States of Mortal Sin. The reason for this tsunami depression is that the fascist-Nazi American corporations and the fascist-Nazi American rich in our caste system will never permit an increase in taxes to lower our deficits. They will never permit the return of American jobs to the Fatherland. With ninety percent of Americans bankrupt the deficit problem will no longer be a problem. Enslavement and homeless Americans will slowly die off and a new set of immigrants will enter the United States of Mortal Sin and these new immigrants will work for less than minimum wages. American dictatorial powers will be in the hands of the fascist-Nazi American corporations and the fascist-Nazi American rich.
WITH THE CALLING OUT OF THE NATIONAL GUARD IN WISCONSIN AND PROBABLY MANY OTHER STATES WE WILL BE WITNESSING THE RELIVING OF KENT STATE AND AMERICANS KILLING AMERICANS.
THE UNITED STATES OF MORTAL SIN IS OUR NAME AND SINNING IS OUR GAME.
My wife has heard that the newly elected politicians are sleeping in their offices as opposed to renting an apartment in Washington, D.C. These are the freeloading Tea Baggers who talk about cuts in helping average Americans. If these free loaders paid rent for their sleeping in the offices, they should pay the going rental rates for using their offices as an apartment.

Bad dog!
... and if you're going to use the pot: 1) don't have it in the car when you're driving, and 2) if you are with/have a pit-bull (or any other doggie), don't store your stash in a sock that can easily be confused with a chew toy!
;-P

I just heard the Democrats in Wisconsin are not showing up, thereby preventing a quorum, so they can't vote (for now) on taking away the public employees' right to have a union. This maneuver didn't work in Texas when the Republicans redistricted in the middle of the decade, but it's a nice gesture.

I am so proud of the people of Wisconsin right now!

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
With the budget being a pertinent issue, I'd like to hear Ravi Batra's take on it as well as what he thinks about the current situation of the economy. Been awhile since I heard Dr. Batra on the show. (Hint hint)
