NDAA, TSA, Patriot act, SOPA, PIPA, warrantless wiretaps and other privacy invading policies.

Rising costs in health care, education, housing, food, gas. Stagnating wages, high unemployment, an entire society built to cater to the richest of the rich.

Ask me how I feel suppressed? I work longer and harder for less pay while prices are being inflated like there's no tomorrow.

Ask how anyone else is suppressed? They get brainwashed so deeply they don't even know they're being suppressed, which is the worst thing imaginable. The get crappy education, conditioned to brainless patriotism and stupidity and care more about the Jersey shore on TV than anything of even the slightest bit of importance.

Ask how the rest of the world is suppressed? Just ask the millions of innocent civilians in any countries with oil reserves whose leader does not want to sell out their own interest to cater to western corporations.

Ask them how they feel suppressed when they get slaughtered by the forces of a government which has long since been hijacked and corrupted by the most powerful criminals on earth.

Wanna know where the real terrorists are? They're sitting in Washington DC. You see them on TV daily.

Did anyone actually read this?

It helps not to use arguments that are on a "if you use this argument you don't get the point" list.

More data on change in income.

Any math econ fags around? I'd like to discuss the idea that government stimulus won't work the way it did in the first great depression.
81% of the workforce works in what are called “service industries” while agriculture, manufacturing, mining, and construction, the industries that actually make stuff and build stuff, comprise less than 19%.
In the 1930s, we had an economy based on manufacturing and agriculture. 21.5% of the workforce was in agriculture in 1930, and now that number is less than 2%. Back in the 1930s, when people had more money, they bought more food/us goods, and that meant hiring more farm and factory workers. The ways people spend money now when they have more, add jobs to far east country factories, and money to the capital investors, who already have money. Service industry jobs won't scale to stimulus in the same way. Also most of them are low pay, which won't grow the spending power of the economy in the same way. Today, the big sectors of the economy are education, healthcare, and government, and people generally don’t consume more of these services when they have more money.
Also all these jobs are going to get more and more automated. The usual line is that people will move on to higher level work, like robot engineering and programming or creating art and literature. But most people aren’t smart enough to do any of these things.

Does it seem reasonable to suggest major government stimulus won't make a significant amount of jobs in this era? From a economics prospective?
