I learned something in ECONOMICS last week


that may be useful info for all of you


When the media and WHITEHOUSE issue the statement of "JOBLESS CLAIMS FALL AGAIN" "UNEMPLOYMENT IS AT RECORD LOWS" and so on. What is really being said is those on unemployment and unalbe to find employment. Some ahve been kicked off becasue of time limits and those can no longer claim it. Those people are still unemployed can no long get benefits and still ahve no job. In other words they are no longer counted. So unemployment hasn't fallen it is still huge but those not getting benefits are NO LONGER COUNTED. THEY ARE IGNORED.

Its a way fro government to say one thing and ignore the true facts. SHADY huh?

yeah, when I found out about that I was baffled. That's NOT unemployment numbers, that is the number of people who get unemployment bennys. Fucking government, nice and missleading as always

Also on the subject of our loevly government......

why is the electoral college in place? Anyone have a good awnser for this? I thought the point of a democracy was one person one vote? What is wrong with one persons vote counting as one persons vote and not towards a "state majority"? State Majority leaves the other votes not worth shit. If you don't know what the electoral college is, find out about it..... it will REALLY piss you off.

I have a very good answer.



Would you let some of your neighbors chose to vote in who will run the country. Seriously think about it? The asshole who cut you off the road? The hick neighbor who beats his wife and children? The heroine addict with nothing to live for? the gang down the street that is connected with the other gang in the other city who is affiliated with the other gang in 10 other states. They will vote. Poeple are in Governemnt to do jsut that. Government. They may not be the greatest but they do SOMETIMES get the job done right.

You vote in who you want to VOTE FR YOU. Thats how it works and that why its SO FUCKING IMPORTNAT TO PAY ATTENTION TO LOCAL ELECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THOSE GUYS ARE THE ONES YOU WANT TO VOTE OR NOT VOTE FOR.

They don't vote for you, it has to go by state majority from what I understand (as far as the presidential elections go). And if a country is founded on a democracy, it should be 1 person 1 vote. At least my state was blue for the last election, so I feel my vote counted.... If it wasn't blue, I would have felt cheated. ;)

I've never voted... I'm too pessimistic about the whole system.
