Obama Cons Cripples

Obama needs a cattle prod and shock collar to enforce civil rights laws. His adoption of Rosemary’s HMO baby, Kaiser Permanente, rations medical care to disabled patients. I was crippled by paralytic polio at age 6. Kaiser’s ADA Compliance Program Manager refused to disclose service dog policies. Obama’s Disability Director, Henry Claypool, ignores complaints.

I saw this one farmer in Texas interviewed and he said not one Black or White person had ever applied for a job, so the jobs illegal immigrants are employed as are not ones that Citizens would apply for. Notice i said apply for earlier so no one could say well the illegals worked cheaper or somthing silly like that.

[jakohar97]

Oh and illegal immigrants dont steal jobs, no citizen would work as a migrant worker for dirt cheap when you have so much more oppritunity or you can just be lazy and get welfare which is 10 times as much as what a migrant worker makes

[jakohar97]

But i dont want to pay for some lazy guys insurance, yet insurance guys are crooked,

illegal immigrants mooch off the economy sometimes,more often the work cheaply as migrant labor, WHAT TO DO?

lamesurfer101, maybe your ACORN job just went down the fucking toilet and now you have nothing better to do with your free time and 99 weeks of unemployment than to camp out on these videos and post your pro-obama drivel!

@MrOTLChamp a job!

If we don't print money, we go into deflation... which means:

1) Businesses wont make as much money (because prices went down)

2) They start firing people and lowering wages

3) More unemployment, people buy less

4) Which means Businesses will make even less money

5) And the cycle repeats... until our economy is in shambles.

So you see, we need just a little bit of inflation to make sure deflation doesn't happen.

@MrOTLChamp Whats even worse is "deflation." It sounds good at first...prices go down. But think about it.

-If you own a home, and you just put $300,000 into, what happens if deflation takes the value down to $200,000?

-What if your boss paid you $5,000 for every guy you catch (your a bondsman right?) and the price of everything goes down. He still pays you $5000 even though the crooks are only worth $2,500. Your boss is gonna go broke!

@MrOTLChamp

Every country has a central bank and a treasury. And every country is currently printing more and more money. Every single one.

-Inflation is kind of like aging for money. It happens as a currency gets older.

-Hyperinflation... now thats bad. And almost never happens in a recession unless all your businesses collapse... this happened only a few times in history. Germany (becuase their country was destroyed after WWI) and Zimbabwe (their country's economy was crappy from day 1)

I was baptized Catholic. But I've since become kind of skeptical about that church. Don't get me wrong, there's both good and bad in every church, and Catholic Chartities are some of the most amazing institutions in the world. But the Catholic church has to get with it some times(no condoms... really?)

Anyways... wages do keep up with inflation. Most wage clauses have a COLA (cost of living adjustment) or are indexed to inflation (meaning they go up periodically to match prices.
