During a speech today in Washington D.C., AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka called the looming debt disaster a "manufactured crisis" and said "there isn't a fiscal cliff."
"There is no fiscal cliff," Trumka says in prepared remarks to the National Mediation Board Conference in Washington on Thursday. "What we’re facing is an obstacle course within a manufactured crisis that was hastily thrown together in response to inflated rhetoric about our federal deficit."
Obama met with Trumka earlier this week, in addition to other far left leaders, to discuss economic policy. Apparently a $3500 tax increase on every family doesn't serve as a "crisis" in Trumka's opinion, not to mention the climbing $16 trillion debt and trillion dollar deficits posted every year since Obama took office.
Why should I believe Trumka?
Those “in the know” want everyone to stay in the casino as long as possible in order to milk as much wealth out of them as possible.
Then, they shut out the lights and leave you with a bunch of plastic chips.
You typed “Brownshirter”....but I saw something else....you can probably guess....HAHAHAHA
The other day, someone coined a new phrase for 0bama voters -
the “Free sh*tters”.
I actually don’t disagree with that statement, although for wildly different reasons. The impact of all these changes for the first of the year are real. The result of the negotiations will limit the impact, but we are still on a high speed train to collapse regardless what they agree too. It will leave obamacare intact, which is the real irreversable death knell to our economy and to individual freedom. We will still have a stagnant slow growth economy for years to come. We will still have massive deficits and debt. Our dollar will continue to decline.
The battle over this cliff is largely just a game and I am mostly tuned out.
Trumka is indeed one of the few persons who has proudly demonstrated an IQ even below that of Dan Rather, the Obamadork, and Chris Matthews.
Congratulations, Trumpka, you are now qualified to be union leader.
Oh, never mind.
Union goons are useful to democrats - everything else about unions makes liberal elites cringe.
Richard Trumka is a dumbka!
I notice that unionistas presume themselves to be experts on business, finance, and now economics.
But oddly enough, these experts never actually run any businesses. Surely a union-run business with union-only labor should be wildly successful, right?
Wonder why that is...
“One of the biggest obstacles to industrial growth were the New Dealers and the unions.”
These marxists always use the same playbook. They have never deviated from class the warfare theme. They got nuthin else to work with.
I guess the stock market is in panic mode because Obama had brown shoes on and not the debt crisis.
This is a number that us being thrown around on the Internet right now...
This is a number that is being thrown around on the Internet right now...
Yes, so the internet and AICPA are in sink, it makes me wonder if AICPA is the source...
Yep. And even after tens of millions were murdered in the Soviet Union and Red China, and hundreds of millions more were imprisoned, there are still people that fall for it, hook, line and sinker.
What is scarier is that there are many people who LIVED through those times, and pine for the tyrants.
And we have them here in this country. Running things.
Another Mega Taker lecturing on economics.
Union Dues are like taxes...... No wonder he feels this way.
Unions don’t run on a profit basis.
As he sees it the bigger the number the better
