flaccid clown car crackup
speaker boehner's clusterfuck is great for obama's political future, but the short term could be very difficult for many americans. the tax cut is pretty much bullshit, 20 bucks a week, maybe, but represents a political bear trap for folks like scott brown. the medicare reimbursement issue threatens to put more pressure on seniors and doctors but that will take a while to work through. the unemployment, though, that gets ugly on the very first day. figure that long-term unemployed folks, in their second year without much income, are pretty much barely there, and if you cut off their meager unemployment benefit, well, they're fucked. the personal toll, stress and privation, is an inexcusable tragedy that will quickly spread into the community. that unemployment insurance is the best stimulus for the local economy; it's too small to contribute to savings and every cent of it gets spent immediately, so every jerkoff on the chamber of commerce, every bank and landlord, every car repair shop, grocery store, bar, pharmacy, liquor store, meth dealer and streetwalker should be screaming bloody murder and shoving a red-hot coulter all the way up the asses of that dicknose boehner and every one of those teabagger jerkoffs in the house. i guess that would be a great stimulus for fireplace poker manufacturers as well. buy american, motherfrakkers.
