Phil Collins – I Don’t Care Anymore

Posted on: August 7th, 2011 by ecthompson md 7 Comments

I still don't understand what the heck S&P is saying. Are they worried about our long term debt? Are they worried about our near term debt? It is simply crazy. If we can get the economy to begin to make jobs, much of the near and medium debt debt will go away. If we let the Bush tax cuts expire, then a huge chunk of our debt disappears. So what is the big deal? These guys are either the dumbest guys in the room or simply criminals. (A couple of great references - S&P funny numbers, S&P have been wrong before,  Krugman clears up what some think that he has said before)

Oh and I haven't mentioned a better than expected jobs report.

This has been one of my favorite protest tunes for a long time. The soaring guitar is screaming throughout the tune. Then you have the drums laying out a marvelous beat. I love this tune.

Artist: Phil Collins
Tune: I don't care anymore

I hereby call for President Barack Hussein Obama to resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow. It is totally apparent that the U.S. and the world have zero faith or confidence in him and his policies.

I'm sorry. The problem isn't the president. If the world had no faith in the president the stock market would've never gone up in the first place. Instead, as usual, you've made the wrong diagnosis and therefore the wrong treatment. The problem is recalcitrant tea party Republicans who refuse to raise taxes on those who can afford it in most. That's the problem. until you understand that we need a balanced approach to fix our economic problems, you will continue to be duped by the knuckleheads on Fox news.

The problem is absolutely, positively Obama.  He is anti-business, pro-large government, pro-government mandate, anti-wealth creation, and pro-redistributionist.  Business has recoiled in horror at his policies.  You can tax every single dollar that "the rich" make and it still won't make a dent.  They already pay 70% of the bill as it is.  Why do you hate rich people; why do you want to steal their money?  Who put you in charge of soaking their earnings to pay for more nonsensical programs? Why is that "fair?"  I thought liberals were all about fairness, and yet you all despise, detest and resent "the rich" and are all about class warfare.  There have always been and always will be rich and poor people, no matter how hard you try to change that.  Just ask Dr. Thomas Sowell, the most brilliant man on the planet, even moreso than the race baiters Jackson, Sharpton and all of the others, believe it or not. The tea party is not a formal organization, it has no leader, it has no status and yet somehow, they have caused everything bad to happen?  How's that?

The host is much kinder.  This is a ridiculous statement and shows great ignorance.  Unless you were making a joke of course, but from your past comments I believe you are the joke.

From what the release says and what I saw them say on CNN with Anderson Cooper I think its their own political statement.  After passing debt ceiling increases 60 some times in a row without incident they can't do it until the final hours.  That and Reps refusal to increase revenues and the size of the debt itself pushed it over the edge.  What is amazing and depressing to me as the right ignores the main reasons and says its because Dems didn't accept their radical Cut Cap and Balance crap.  So they managed to cut off our nose to spite our face, and then like a 5 year old says they didn't do it.

I'm sorry but I can't help it. All of this drama could've been avoided with a reasonable approach to our financial problems. Create jobs first. That should've been the focus. Instead, conservative Republicans (all there any other types these days?) Insisted on limiting the stimulus. Economists told us that limiting the stimulus would limit our recovery but Republicans didn't care. Now that the economy is faltering somehow this is President Barack Obama's problem. The fact that the stock market has plunged over 800 points in today's because of a stupid debt deal, again, this is the Presidents fault. It's enough to make you want to drink.
