Do not overlook the Black Market. In failed socialism it grows.
Scary stuff.
Galt’s Gulch is gittin’ a mighty crowded!
Here’s how libs plan to bring the unemployment rate down: Keep taking people out of the workforce and “seasonally” add in 100,000 fantasy jobs every month.
If this can be maintained until the 2012 elections, the unemployment rate will be 0% and nobody will have a job!...Liberal Heaven for Democrats!
I smell 8.7%
OH...must be Bush's fault. Yeah right!
I think the American people on workman’s comp. are so well paid by the gubmint that they refuse to apply for the myriad of jobs being offered around here. 30 years ago the colleges were teaching how to live off the system. I guess they’re still doing it. Besides Gubmint jobs pay so much better than the private sector!
And how many of them will, also, become permanent voters for leftists that weren’t before?
Obama’s solution to this? Tax those that are still working more heavily.
FUBO
“Do not overlook the Black Market. In failed socialism it grows.”
Very true. We are a heating/air/plumbing/electrical contractor, and we have noticed a HUGE increase in cash payments or trades. I have been offered coin collections, used cars, motorcycles, exchange of service, I have had people offer to work for me for a set period of time for free, etc in exchange for work done or parts etc.
As I am not a pawn-broker, and I really have no idea of the value of some items (such as the coin collection offered over the winter for a new furnace), I tend to turn the offer down, and refer the customers to our bank, which offers financing, but our bank is getting very particular about who they finance at this time, so I may in the future, have to start accepting chickens and goats as payment for services rendered...
Per the chart on this article, only 37.3% of California residents are working. A huge percentage of those work for GOVERNMENT, and produce nothing.
They are down to 20-25% of the population trying to support the other 75-80%. We have already crossed the Rubicon, I fear.
It’s fast coming down to the the takers/parasites/users vs. a small minority of the productive.
Pretty good timing for the release of “Atlas Shrugged Part 1”. I’m thinking that it will start slowly but become a huge box office hit, and the media will ignore it.
All by design.....
Just because they don’t have ‘jobs’ doesn’t mean they’re not working. Check the bulletin board at 7-11 for their business cards.
My thought...more people will be working under the radar trying to keep more money from going to the government. We won’t be able to do that with more financial reporting to the government.
I wish that God would zap all the Democrats in Washington, DC!
