Have you heard of the Jones Act? Unless you read Newsmax and listen
to a
lot of right-wing radio, probably not. It's an obscure statute that's
been on the books since 1920, and it requires all shipping between
U.S.
ports or in U.S. coastal waters to be carried in U.S.-flag ships that
are owned and crewed by U.S. citizens.
So why are conservatives suddenly up in arms about it? Because, they
claim, it's a labor-inspired rule that's obstructing aid to a Gulf
Coast
the right wing loves BP oil as shown by their recent apology. they
defend wall street and the banks as shown by their recent meeting with
top level hedge fund CEO's
they HATE the middle class as shown by their paranoid conspiracy
theories.
the GOP needs to be destroyed
Actually, did you see this months employment numbers... ya sure bet
Obama wants to brag about it going down to 9.5%...
But 658,000 people gave up looking for work....
7.9 million fewer people at work in private business since this began.
14.6 million people looking for work.
Last months prop up numbers of the 400,000 census workers are again
looking for work.
Monthly job cuts are up to 125,000 for the month was partially offset
by private job hires iof 33,000.
More than 525,000 new unemployed started to look for work last month
to replace the lost job.

We all work for government, they ceased working for us a long time ago.
It's betting than bleeding 700K+ per month. Of course, you'd rather see
the census working unemployed and people continue to be so disheartened
that they don't even bother to look for work. How's that lack of
compassion workin out for you. Why don't you lie some more. You've got
Palin as a role model.
LMAO. It is like a bleeding person, after you have lost 4 pints you don't
have as much to give so things are better.
Hahahaha.
I have more compassion than a greedy debtor whore. As I provide
sustainable moves. Debtors, me me me me want debt or I am a ****ed ass
hole are greedy, selfish short sighted jerks.
But the lessons are being taught. Just hasn't gotten around to you yet.

Syndrome.
