Quotes Of The Day And Obama's Minimum Wage Lost Solution

Obama set to 'suggest' a $10.10 minimum wage.

How he arrived at this magical figure remains a magnificent mystery only Pixie's can tell.

Quotes from Secretary of the Treasury under FDR Henry Morgenthau, JR.

 "...When Roosevelt told Morgenthau he was thinking of raising the price of gold by 21 cents, his entourage asked him why. "It's a lucky number", Roosevelt said. "Because it's three times seven." As Morgenthau later wrote, "If anybody knew how we really set the gold price through a combination of lucky numbers, etc., I think they would be frightened."

"We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong … somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises. … I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. … And an enormous debt to boot."



Funny how all that gets 'erased' and all people remember is that apparently the New Deal worked.

How does it make sense that spending to create jobs (usually temporarily) while going into debt helps an economy? If you don't pay the debt down what good is it?

I pulled this comment from Rolling Commie Stone magazine:

John Yaeger: Whats wrong with communism that isnt wrong with capitalism?

Ah, nothing spells idiocy like relativist idiocy.

Capitalism is only responsible for the advancement of Western civilization is all.

Dumbass.
