(s)Elections See other (s)Elections Articles Title: Spare Change You Can Believe In May I ask you a question? Hows this great economic recovery working out for you? Its really affected the cardboard recycling market adversely, did you know that? Because everyone is raiding the cardboard recycling bins to get cardboard to make signs that say: Hungry, please help and Spare change, anything will help. Yeah, great economic recovery! If we recover any more, well be asking the UN for food drops here. My wife and I were returning from Bisbee some weeks back and I looked over at the railroad mainline and see this siding with what looked to be hundreds of locomotives sitting there stashed like mothballed C-130s over at the nearby Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. I thought this to be very unusual because its not every day you see hundreds of railroad locomotives sitting there idle. Those are expensive pieces of equipment. Those cost money and if theyre not moving, theyre not making money. But, weeks later now, the truth has been revealed. Imagine that! Undeniable proof the economy is in the toilet without the Tidy Bowl Man in sight! Gosh, what happened to all the great reports from the government about this recovery? Well, look, if the railroads are not moving freight becauseand THEY TOLD US-the economy is so bad there isnt enough freight to be moved, we are obviously not in a recovery! Well, shucks! And we had such great hopes that the economy would be the same Obama success story as Obamacare and installing a democracy in Syria and defeating ISIS have been. But why would the government be covering this up? Because can Hillary gets elected if people realize she was a part of the administration responsible for the reduction in force for 16% of a major railroads prime movers? Why do I say the Obama administration is responsible? Because if you say you can fix the economy and you dont, look, theres only so long you can keep blaming George W. Bush some eight years later after the fact. Of course, Hillary hasnt got any answers as to how shes going to fix the economy. She admits people are struggling but, look, lady, this was YOUR BOSS that has been at the helm of this economic Titanic for eight years now. So what the blue blazes are you going to do differently?! Ask Bill what to do? If 16% of the locomotive force for what may be the largest railroad in the nation (or second largest) is sitting idle, that means several industries are sitting idle also. You think consumer spending is going to pull our collective butts out of these flames? I think were whistling in the graveyard here. The impact of this has not yet hit us. The idle locomotives are merely a warning sign of what is yet to come, has not yet fully manifested, but is manifesting as we speak. I think were about to run out of gas, overheat the radiator, and get four flat tiresright there between Barstow and Needles in July. The Democrats need to sweep all this under the rug in the desperation to save Hillarys campaign. Since they have a lot of friends in the media, this is not hard to do. But why are they so attached to Hillary? Well, I daresay she was promised the 2016 run back in 2008 if she would throw in the towel and let Obama be the guy and get behind his campaign. This is how deals are made, after all. Its like kids playing ball. You can bat first the next game if you just let me bat first for this one. Well, the Democrats have been striking out all over the place, too. A federal court just ruled that Obamacare cant pay subsidies to private insurance corporations without approval from Congress. Right, Page 12 news, are you surprised? But this is huge. Such a ruling could torpedo that tramp steamer once and for all. Now, you would think such a thing would have been obvious. You cant just spend government money without Congressional approval. Unless youre the CIA, of course. However, theyre just trying to patch Obamacare together long enough for Hillary to get elected, at which point she can enact even worse laws to force compliance and keep it going. Obama cant do that right now or Hillary will flat out lose. Obamacare has already damaged their chances enough. But it will be Hillary that will have to force more Obamacare complianceand she has already said that she will do so aggressivelyor Obamacare will literally collapse under the weight of its own stupidity. Therefore, the Democrats are burning the midnight alternative energy to keep all of this under wraps as best as possible. Theyre also busy doing the, Look what Donald Trump said! Oh, hey, look over there at this wonderful new economic recovery where we created 50 new part-time jobs across America! Many people are dumb enough not to ask, Hey, what are all those locomotives doing over there? Or see the story in the paper and think, Hmmm
if the railroad isnt hauling freight, that means factories are shut down and theres a whole new wave of unemployment and a bigger recession coming. Maybe even a depression. It is not surprising that the Democrats want to cover that up to try to save Hillarys campaign. What is surprising is Hillary wants the job knowing this. But, they say therere people power-hungry enough that theyd still want the job of fuehrer in 1944, even knowing how it ends. I dont know about you folks, but I think it might be a good idea to put off major purchases for a while. Because when you hear the government telling you we need to bring consumer spending back up, thats the red flag warning that theyre in the outhouse crapping bricks. You cant just see warning signs like were seeing and think nothing is going to happen. Oh, it might be several months yet. Theyre going to use duct-tape and sandbags as much as possible hoping to get past the 2016 elections. After that? Well, I think then well see a lot more cardboard in our future. Spare change you can believe in. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
