If I was , Oh, about 35 years younger , That would have been considered a hot vandalism target. Of course when you make enough money to buy one of those a day, who gives a fuck? Some of them make enough to buy a dozen a day.

Just for some additonal Rage, I took the estimated bail out costs thus far, around 2.8 Trillion, and divided by $50,000 and then devided by 8. $50,000 being a living wage except in New Your and similar places. 8 Years being a business cycle.

I came up with 5.3 Million jobs. Know there is an estaimated 11 trillion dollars worth of infrastructure needs in the country, it’s no mystery where they would have been employed. Then take the multiplier effect of that many people working and you have maybe 15 Million jobs. That covers the entire recession and just about all the new entrants into the job market. Of course if we go by Shadow Stats, it covers everyone except the new Entrants. 15 Million jobs a year would have added 8.1 Trillion to GDP. So if it’s at 13-14 T now, that would have pushed it up to 21T.

Then you take average tax collections which now have fallen by 62% to 1.3 Trillion or 10% of GDP. If it goes up to the historical norm of 18%. That comes to about 3.8 Trillion or more , call it 4 trillion. No deficit spending because no bank bail out costs. Annual Budget about 3 Trillion. In 8 Years the national debt would have been the lowest it’s been in a 100 or more years inflation adjusted.

Add 1 Trillion a year for health Care and Tax receipts increasing from a a healthier population working and healthier corporate bottom lines and it would have probably covered a full single payer plan, and a Free 50 Caliber Hand gun for each Tea Bagger and a Pony for every one on the left.

Just some small talk

That’s what we could have had. That’s why it boggles the mind that anyone defends anything beyond the 200 billion or so to stop the run on the banks. Obama and crew fucked up so bad, it’s hard to even comprehend and I ‘m center left and voted for the fucker.

You have to wonder – does it hurt when they think?

Matt- excellent job on the latest RS article showing how Rubin et al maintain the power no matter if elephants or donkeys rule the White House. I was VERY glad to see RS let you take the prez to task on this issue.
Donkeys and elephants get us fighting over stuff like gay marriage and abortion or healthcare and in the meantime we are getting sodomized by mega-banks so they can award themselves bonus money for failing.
