Thanks, Obama, we The People are now getting paid less because of you.



This quote made me giggle.

"It's the system working as it should," Van de Water says. Government is stimulating growth and helping people in need, he says. As the economy recovers, private wages will rebound, he says.

Uhh, hello? Look at the fucking trend, you dolt! Since Obama took office it sure as hell hasn't slowed down, quite the opposite.

And these...

Economist Veronique de Rugy of the free-market Mercatus Center at George Mason University says the riots in Greece over cutting benefits to close a huge budget deficit are a warning about unsustainable income programs.

But don't we have a bottomless supply of money? Obama thinks we do.

Economist David Henderson of the conservative Hoover Institution says a shift from private wages to government benefits saps the economy of dynamism. "People are paid for being rather than for producing," he says.

Fucking right! We need more people like this guy so our government stops enabling laziness.
