Stop the Madness! People Should be SHOCKED

Ernest F. Hollings:

Our only hope is for President Obama to enforce our trade laws to protect the economy and make it profitable for Corporate America to produce in the United States in the trade war.

People are shocked to learn:

1. That almost a year before the recession, in February 2007, the Princeton economist, Alan Blinder, estimated that in ten years we would be losing 30 to 40 million jobs to offshoring. That’s about 300,000 jobs a month lost to offshoring.

2. President Obama has stimulated to save or create jobs lost from the recession, but totally ignores the 300,000 jobs lost to offshoring.

3. President Bush and the Federal Reserve stimulated the economy $7.5 trillion during his eight year term, and household debt during the same time stimulated the economy another $7 trillion for a total of a $14.5 trillion stimulation. President Obama stimulated the economy his first year over $1 trillion, and we have already stimulated the economy this year $1.142 trillion (6/9/10) with four months to go. So we have borrowed and stimulated the economy over the past nine and a half years $16.6 trillion, and the private sector is only creating 41,000 new jobs a month.

      The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
     

    Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."
     
    What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.
