I read today that Joe Biden said that the reason America has a middle class, according to what he thought, was because of organized labor. I love it when idealogues from both sides make statements like this without ever backing it up with any proof. They just go ahead and blabber about whatever they feel fits their vision of the world and history. I am so glad that I do not have such closed minded thinking. These progressives, liberals walk around as if they are so open-minded, yet in reality they are trapped within a very narrow way of thinking. They always defer to the idea that government is good and that labor has saved the day from evil business. It’s comments like these that really get my goat, because in reality, they are lies which are told for the sole purpose of maintaining votes and winning votes. Organized labor has played a part in enriching a few people. Their wins or gains come at the expense of everyone else who is not part of organized labor. Their superior benefits come on the backs of the poor and uneducated. Look at how the unions and their crazy benefits have ruined the Big Three auto makers and they want more. They could care less that they have asked and received far too much for what they do. Come on, they sit in a building and operate a screw driver for over $50 an hour. That is ridiculous. How long does it take to learn how to operate a machine… a couple weeks at tops. America has been prosperous in the past because the government has stayed out of the economy, but for the last 100 years, the government has increasingly gotten involved in the economy and look what has happened. People are in more debt than ever. The government is in more debt than ever. We are in another post bubble recession created by the government meddling in the financial sector and encouraging banks and other lending companies to lend to poor credit risks so that they could buy votes. And now you have Joe Biden making ridiculous comments that organized labor has saved the day. Ha.Ha. What a joke. Unfortunately there are a lot of people that fail to ask Joe to offer some proof. Instead they blindly believe what he says, like turkeys going to slaughter before Thanksgiving. Any, that was my koolaid moment of the day.

Joe Biden and His Delusional Moments
Friday, January 30th, 2009Uncle Sam wants you to buy a car
Thursday, January 29th, 2009Click here to read the article. In an nutshell, the government wants to give you tax breaks to buy a car. Hasn’t the government screwed up the economy enough with their various tax incentives, regulations, laws, and incentives which have caused the economy to become so distorted towards construction and building that we now have too much housing? Let me see if I can dissect this great koolaid moment. People are in too much debt. The government made it too easy to borrow money. Our economy has been distorted because the government and its financial system, the Federal Reserve, have benefited those companies that went into debt. Now that people can’t pay off their debts, the government wants to encourage them to go into more debt in order to solve this problem. Pass the koolaid folks. I’m going to need a couple gallons of the strong stuff. Just goes to show you how stupid most politicians are.
GM to end controversial ‘jobs bank’ Monday
Thursday, January 29th, 2009Click here to read the article. In a nutshell, this article qualifies for koolaid drinking status because General Motor’s union had a “job bank” program did the following: “The program gives union workers at the Detroit Three most of their pay and benefits while they are laid off — sometimes for years.” And people wonder why American car companies cannot succeed. It is because the government has backed the unions for way too long. Therefore the unions have extracted such crazy programs as a job bank for so many years. Now the companies want the taxpayers to bail them out. If that doesn’t qualify as a koolaid drinking moment, I’m not sure what does.
