The unemployed should besiege the administration

[PamelaRP]

There is NOT a recovery at all. This is the worst recession since the 30's and they do not want to admit it. We have the worst unemployment rate in the nation here in Oregon where it is almost 11% but unoffically if you count the people that have fallen off the roles and given up it is at least 40-50% or more. The employment department does not care and do not help you. There are really NO jobs and no one cares especially if they are rich. It has been over a year and I cannnot find a job.

[benzo771]

I have my torch and pitchfork ready...and double barrel shotgun ready for a fat greedy banker.

[treon123456]

unemployments already 22%.....revolution comin!?

[sireel]

forget the bible and start meditating. you'll be happy..

[FaaarLeft]

I hope it gets worse. This country needs a kick in the ass.

[underyourskindvd]

What a bad joke....

Its not just Obama.. Its the people who run the government... whoever they are.

[dtaijo174]

There is a huge difference beteween what the Chinese are doing and what the US is trying/tried in the today & the 30's.

That is China is spending it's reserves (saved money) and the US is simply printing it. This guy is full of lies.

Stimulus money has another 80% to be spent.

He has too much faith in govt

.

[lessgovtnow]

@dtaifo174

Simply true. And we're even worse off than we were in the 30s.

[therealhaxwell]

What will the people do instead of take 20% unemployment? Get another stimulus? And go further into debt? To who? Why?

Its time for something different. Search for The Zeitgeist Movement.

[btigtime2]

This guy has way too much faith in Government and the Labor Unions. Money, Carriers and Jobs have been made worthless due to policies of three Administrations maybe four... This is the end of America as we know it... Trouble is whats it going to be now? If you are still playing their Game of "making Money", you had better spend the worthless dollar on canned goods, while it still has some value.

[lrn2wlk4life]

This guy's "uhhh" is painful to listen to

[lrn2wlk4life]

Cloward-Piven Strategy anyone?

[ubuibiok]

AARP Sold out to the Insurance companies...

China GDP is near 10% yet US China trade deficit for the year-to-date now totals $274.58 billion, down from $551.44 billion in the first nine months of 2008, a 49% decline...

ontop of Dubai ruler Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum consolidated his hold on the debt-laden emirate, downgrading powerful figures behind the city-states boom that turned to a bust.

There is a lot of Bad $ News to look at this year ending...

[KeeperOfTheWord]

What happens when people decide that it is time to turn their backs on a state and system that they believe has abandoned them?

Yes. I'm concerned with social unrest.

[dandiacalbody]

i only wish that would happen

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

People often try to improve the system, or replace it with a better one, if considered irreperable.

In a system that leaves no better alternatives, social unrest is just about the only source of democracy.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

that will never happen. americans love obama. they love big brother. it will never happen. they cant survive without government social programs.

[KeeperOfTheWord]

"All these useless eaters" isn't exactly a Biblical anthropology. Maybe you are a royal child of the Christ. Yet I'm not so sure but that you overlay on the cross a blasphemous ideology (in the Rev 13 sense) of land and economy. Your narrative and that of Scripture diverge widely. Forced to decision, where does your loyalty lie (Mt 6:24)? As an aside, you'd be in a bad way of the state collapses into tribalism with competing militias demanding the allegiance of all.

Consider your ways.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

i am just following the ways of america.

[KeeperOfTheWord]

Thats exactly the point. Conformity to US even in the very best of what it represents -- conforms to the world, which is in contrariety to the word of God. The ONLY politics allowed the Christian is that of the kingdom of God. So again when it comes to Christ or Caesar (whatever his name/title in any time or place), where does your allegiance lie?

Americanism is a false religion that sucks the life blood from Christs church. Isnt it time we faced this?

[Cefuroxx]

christianity is evil rubbish

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

and how is it my fault that this was created?

[KeeperOfTheWord]

You may not have created this, but you should -- at the very least -- make clear whether your allegiance is to Christ OR Caesar. You CAN'T have both.

That's the rub.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

my allegiance is to universal balance. the american people have had fair warning. thousands of years to prepare for this. there is NO excuse.

[KeeperOfTheWord]

Universal Balance? Does any architectonic principle establishe this dogma or is it a construct spun in your own imagination? Where is this reality seen? What is the it for which weve had thousands of years to prepare? This sounds rather apocalyptic. It also hints at personality you know, the Gnostic Demiurge. Considered the possibility that this has Satanic origins? Are you an instrument of wrath? If so, whose? Christs or Satans?

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

that is really none of your business. good and evil are human concepts.

[KeeperOfTheWord]

None of my business! Yet you very much make others commitments YOUR interest. Why IS that? Good and evil as human concepts? Proof -- where? What exactly is the source of your pontification? And why have Christ into your moniker when your Universal Balance doctrine (whatever THAT is) stands resolutely opposed to his death and resurrection as the ultimate reality of all that is?

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

your church has been infiltrated. your rituals and symbols are empty oaths you neither understand nor live by. Great Architect speaks to me. he is the balance by which my deeds weighed are judged. not you.

[KeeperOfTheWord]

Really? And what church is that? Oh -- I get it! The WHOLE church (and by extension, the risen Christ himself) is under your censor! But YOU receive prophetic revelations from the Great Architect (pardon the Masonic overtones)! Churchly symbols include water, bread and wine; these represent and seal to believers the works of Christ. I gather you believe Christ himself is empty.

Forgive me, but the demonic is more visible in this than the Christ.

Consider your ways.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

you dont even know what the Christ is.

[KeeperOfTheWord]

Good grief, man. Listen to yourself. Do you think that you have prescience, or that you are omnicient? You certainly talk that way.

I realize that speaking this way will undoubtedly confirm all that you suspect about me, but does it not occur to you that psychiatric wards as full of people who see the world in such terms you you depict?

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

of course i do but this is the interwebs so it dosent matter what i say to you.

[KeeperOfTheWord]

You objectify evil (Gnosticism again) in others in order to exorcise your demons by punishing it vicariously in others. When called, you use voodoo talk about secret knowledge (another Gnostic trait) and assail the integrity of your critics. You censor others for irresponsible behaviors while sanctioning it for yourself since you proffer it behind the blessed anonymity of the world-wide-web.

Dear friend: Get help. Do it BEFORE you do something that lands you in an institutional setting.

[treon123456]

hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! novv thats some of the most beautiful bullshit i ve ever seen......encore!!!

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

you are a preacher. i am not. i have given up long ago trying to explain the realm of spirit to my fellow man. friends and people who know me understand if i take the time. but you should understand this is the internet and full of garbage. here is my only point. there is one god with many names. some of his names are even condemned by mankind. with regards to america. the constitution gave them every chance and they did not listen. this is just a karmic rebalanced. there will be no savior.

[Darkhorse21x]

I would suggest that if the unemployment numbers stay above 15% and go higher say to 25 or 30% the govt will expand its war on terror and bring in a draft.

If you are unemployed and have no skills, I would be very concerned about the possibility of the govt bringing in a draft.

Won't affect me but for all the young, uneducated hip hop generation I would start paying attention.

[psychoholicmike]

A draft is a dangerous move. That's the kind of thing that inspires a forcible overthrow of government, especially since no one supports our occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.

I don't think they'd dare to try that, but, we'll see...

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

well they need to do something with all these useless eaters. it dosent look like they are ever going to get a job. its about time they do something constructive with these people and start another war.

[peckiledorf]

get rid of NAFTA

[Plum369]

what created all this mess was the federal reserve bank, thanks to croooked politicians that let them take over the national money supply to start with! congress has a duty to coin the US money and they gave that up. They are to blame.

[rayallin]

Tom Ferguson is typical of liberal professors who gets a weekly check without a clue how wealth or jobs are created.

The government does not create jobs, its the cancer that pays its employees out of taxes garnered from the private sector that actually does the work and makes and does things. Their polices are what is scaring businesses into not hiring.

Unions don't create jobs, they only create distension and are the reason firms move overseas or automating.

Unemployment will grow.

[BlueEagle8]

The unemployed should besiege the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK.

Go after the people that created the crisis.

[19lfm12]

I would suggest that they would be knocking on the wrong door....or perhaps that they would not be going high enough on the ladder in re the NYC FED Reserve Bank....

But you are close....very close....and in the right city:)

"Go after the ppl who created the crisis".

Yes. But all is not as it appears, as there has been a massive job at misdirection, 'red herrings', & (intentional) disinformation.

This has zilch to do with economic theory....

[Paetaor]

Inner Keynes? What a horrible thought.

The idea of taking on a 8th (or is it 9th) stimulus is so far away from what is needed it's scary.

This guy has some good points but is clueless about economics.

The government can't create wealth buy borrowing and printing money. It's a proven fact.

[blttomato]

"I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle" ~ Winston Churchill

[pulpBleacher]

LOL - one of my favorite quotes, thanks for that.

[blackiron60]

It's not about creating wealth, it's about creating confidence. When it comes to government intervention in capitalist economics, re-assurance is the name of the game. I don't like it, but that's the real aim of stimulus packages - to send the message that you're "doing something" that you're "in control" and that everything is going to be "just fine". We've all heard the language that they use.

[Plum369]

yes, that got us where we are today :) People are tired of smoke and mirrors.

[latinxavier]

Obama needs to stop giving our money away to the big banks and corporations and needs to start generating some jobs. The banks and big corp aren't going to do it. Theyre happy with the status quo. Big money coming in from all sides. Obama hasnt done scrap for anyone else!!! Wjile u have all these illusive blacks walking around pushing their way thru the line and feeling empowered. Basta!!!

[charliebaird13]

the real news does excellent work

but I can't stand the music that plays during the intro

I mute the videos every time for the first 7 seconds

I'll donate 20 bucks if the intro music is changed

for real

[ShaktipatSeer]

stop bitching good lord they work their ass off to make this stuff so you can listen to it for free they can do what they want with their intro

[tatamtatam1]

great interview.

Americans have really no other option than start fighting back. Not against gays, not your "liberal" neighbour who drinks latte, not the health care bill (which is crap BTW), but the people who actually own and run the economy: the business/capitalist class and their lackeys in the government and both parties, who're screwing working class americans again big time.

go on strike, occupy factories, demand jobs for the unemployed, march on washington, whatever.

no other option.

[ZedAlfa273]

No the unemployed should not besiege the Administration, they should besiege Wall Street for having crashed the economy and adding a Trillion dollars to the National Debt.

[siradam575]

why not both?

throw congress into the besieged as well!

[TenderTrap86]

This is a great news outlet. Really good stuff. This definately something you won't hear in the mainstream media.

[Renegen1]

This guy is GOOD. Listen to him. I'm following his words, and he really knows what he's talking about.

[borat443]

the shit is hitting the fan and im glad, now there will be no more political games and all the sheeple will get an education on how the world really works its going to be hard and painfull, but maybe well get some real change in the end but its goin to get ugly...

[stanjz]

The unemployed should besiege the Republican Party. They are the ones bending over for big business.

[EloquentiaSerpentis]

sorry but both parties are equal on that measure, look at where most of Obama's funding came from.

[myrthyn]

More deregulation!!! Worked so great with the banks! Let's be more like China and work our citizens to death, give them unsafe and deplorable conditions to work in, while paying them near nothing. Brilliant. Let's go back to predepression era economics, that will work great!

[lessgovtnow]

Thanks for the interview.

The unemployed don't need to ASK the govt to solve their problems; they need to TELL the govt to reduce its size and to stop managing the free markets along with the fed.

The best thing that happened for the unemployed, and America, is the passing of the Paul/Grayson amendment that keeps HR 1207 whole!

[borat443]

If they pass the audit the fed bill we basically are going to get a whole new govt, with the 10 and 12 elections if they block it, i got a feeling its going to be hell to pay the sheeple are going to wake up....

[lessgovtnow]

@ borat443

What you said would be the most positive change for our Country!

Some one commented here about the Republicans being a big part of the problem. So, you can see most are unaware of the real system.

Audit the fed, and you are spot on, they will wake up at break-neck speed.

I appreciate another thoughtful understanding American.
