Obama’s plan is working!

It is, it is, it is! Haven’t you heard: “The economy is gaining momentum and the Democrat-passed stimulus package is only just beginning to pay dividends to the American workforce, President Obama's advisers said Sunday, defending the administration against GOP accusations that the stimulus is falling flat. […] White House economic adviser Austan Goolsbee […] says the economy is showing encouraging signs.”

Nu, nu. And the fact that unemployment is way worse than predicted and expected had the stimulus not been implemented is no big deal. Part of the game. Keep looking at this figure — all the evidence of Obama’s wisdom is staring at you:


(Blue and light-blue are models. Maroon is what actually happened. Oopsus… Click on the figure to see a larger version.)

At the same time, stupid-stupid Europeans refuse to see the light and (fed up with socialism) told liberals to go take a hike.

When socialism was implemented in Russia and Eastern Europe, the power was placed in the hands of low-lifes and bastards. When socialism was implemented in Western Europe, the power was placed in the hands of people who thought that just because a rose smells better than a cabbage, it will taste better in a soup¹. As socialism is being implemented in the US, the power is placed in the hands of overgrown children and clowns whom the children like for the bright-red noses.

I can't even get a job at Target... it's pretty bad.

I know. I really empathize, because I know firsthand how difficult it can be. What concerns me more, however, is what will be in future. The moron will be in office for four years (at least!). It took Roosevelt and his cronies less to turn a perfectly normal recession into a Great Depression.

What a nice time to get married and start raising a family, huh? What a nice time to look for a position after being married (iy"H).

(Which is not to say that I don’t have absolute faith in Eibeshter. I do. I am just saying that b’derech tevah, things don’t look as rosy as my ingenious liberal colleagues seem to be thinking.)

Indeed. It seems to be easier to find a job in the jewish community... there just isn't a guarantee that they'll pay your salary...

Then it’s not a job. It’s called being a slave or doing things for free. You can find an opportunity to do that in any community.
