   The Verizon strike temporarily deflated the job figures because union workers walked off the job during the week that the Labor Department collected payroll data from companies.

   What’s this? Union workers making Dear Leader look bad? Tsk, tsk…

   Obama’s gonna be speaking in Detroit on labor day. Coming to “ground zero” if you will for democrat policy failure. I’m curious if he’s going to address the black and black murder rate explosion occurring on the Northeast side. Detroit’s “Deadliest” neighborhood. 38 shot, 8 died in this one area since summer began.

   In a lot of those cases, (the victims) know who shot them, but they don’t want to tell the police — they want to take care of it themselves, and then you get yet another shooting,” Malhalab said. “A whole lot of the shootings are from people selling drugs, which leads to confrontations and disputes, which leads to someone pulling out a gun.

   But, you know, I think a national discussion about racism is prolly more important.

   Obama really is just like Roosevelt!)

   Or Truman and in more ways than one.

   Today federal, state, and local expenditures as a share of GDP are back at the highs reached during World War II. This time, however, we are unlikely to see a swift decrease. Wartime expenditures on items like weaponry and salaries for conscripted soldiers were relatively easy to wind down. The bulk of current and future government spending is on entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare. This variety of spending is nearly impossible to reduce in the near term.

   Obama, Hitler, And Exploding The Biggest Lie In History
   […]
   “The line between fascism and Fabian socialism is very thin. Fabian socialism is the dream. Fascism is Fabian socialism plus the inevitable dictator.” John T. Flynn
   […]
   Numerous commentators have raised alarming comparisons between America’s recent economic foibles and Argentina’s fall “from breadbasket to basket case.” The U.S. pursues a similar path with her economy increasingly ensnared under the growing nexus of government control. Resources are redistributed for vote-buying welfare schemes, patronage style earmarks, and graft by unelected bureaucrats, quid pro quo with unions, issue groups and legions of lobbyists.

   In Argentina, everyone acknowledges that fascism, state capitalism, corporatism – whatever – reflects very leftwing ideology. Eva Peron remains a liberal icon. President Obama’s Fabian policies (Keynesian economics) promise similar ends. His proposed infrastructure bank is just the latest gyration of corporatism. Why then are fascists consistently portrayed as conservatives?
