Can someone explain to me how cutting spending can create jobs? The Republicans won the last election based on creating jobs yet all they want to do is cut spending, cut benefits, and break up unions. How does all that create jobs?
But all of this reminds me of a Simpsons episode where the town had a windfall of cash so they held a meeting to decide what to do with it. Mr. Burns stated his idea then someone else said, "I agree with the billionaire, billionaires always do what's best for the average Joe".
That's exactly what is going on right now. Average Joe's are agreeing with the rich as if the rich have the same motives as blue collar workers.
I have nothing against the ultra wealthy, but you have to understand that to become ultra wealthy, you have to have an ENORMOUS appetite for making money, more than anyone here can even understand. Any person or group with that appetite for making money has no internal checks and balances. They will keep consuming until there is nothing left. It's just the nature of the beast. So you can't allow them to have everything they want or eventually they will destroy whatever system they happen to operate in.
