SuperSandy's Space

I didn't cause this fucking deficit, old people who got sick didn't cause this deficit, hungry children whose homes were foreclosed on illegally didn't cause this fucking crisis, your damned war profiteering did, tax cuts for the super rich did, corporate welfare did.

wilwheaton:

I honestly don’t give a shit about “Shared Sacrifice” because I didn’t fuck it up. I didn’t crash the economy, neither did teachers or public union workers or anyone like that. The people who earn less now than their fathers did 30 years ago didn’t fuck this up. You know who fucked this up? The very, very rich people!

It drives me insane that Congress and the President aren’t repeating this over and over and over again. It isn’t just good politics, it’s the goddamn fucking TRUTH.

Demanding that the middle class and the working poor share a sacrifice is morally wrong. The middle class and the working poor have been making a sacrifice for ten fucking years.

I’ll say this again: there are more of us than there are of them. Just give me a torch and a pitchfork, and tell me when to show up.

THIS.

Send me that memo, please.

Infographic of the Day: James Fallows writes: “The Chart That Should Accompany All Discussions of the Debt Ceiling: It’s this one, from yesterday’s New York Times…It’s based on data from the Congressional Budget Office and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Its significance is not partisan (who’s “to blame” for the deficit) but intellectual. It demonstrates the utter incoherence of being very concerned about a structural federal deficit but ruling out of consideration the policy that was largest single contributor to that deficit, namely the Bush-era tax cuts.”

It’s also worth noting that the debt ceiling was raised by $4 trillion under Bush without incident, and Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell approved each of the five increases.

Early Bird Special: Good morning! The market is on the brink of collapse, Goldman Sachs rules the world, and traders are going to sleep at night dreaming of another recession because they see it as an opportunity to cash in.

Oh, did I say good morning? I meant STOCK UP ON CANNED GOODS morning.
