UCUBED: Laid Off? 31 Million Unemployed - Make The Movers And The Shakers Tremble

Dear UCubed Leaders, Activists and Fans:
This week started with Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman writing in the New York Times that “on both sides of the Atlantic, a consensus has emerged among movers and shakers that nothing can or should be done about jobs.”
On Wednesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that another 414,000 Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week.
Yesterday, the BLS told us that 29 million Americans remained unemployed or underemployed in May. Tucked away in their archived data was the “not in the workforce” figures which have grown by 6.4 million since the start of this Grave Recession.

In his column Against Learned Helplessness this past week, Paul Krugman reminded President Obama and others that “inventing reasons not to put the unemployed back to work is neither wise nor responsible. It is, instead, a grotesque abdication of responsibility.” (Emphasis added)


Dam right!

What this says is simple...WE ROBBED YOU...LIVE WITH IT or just DIE but quit bothering us.

The rich have stolen ALL the money in their nefarious schemes. THEY are NOT going to CONTRIBUTE anything to HELP what-so-ever. They have found NEW brown skinned slaves in downtrodden places of the world to DO the work. They used this nation and it's people to build their empires and now it's WE USED YOU...GET OVER IT. Just like the rich of the past did until the people rose up and cut off their hands and their heads. This NEEDS to happen again and SOON.

Which movers & shakers? I can't think of a single REPUTABLE reformist who would even think such a thing. 31 million of us now? Plus our dependents, 2 or 4-legged-they are unemployed right along with us. I wonder where that puts our numbers?

I don't want them to repatriate. I don't want to provide them with security, or aid if a tsunami destroys their corporation (the residents yes). I want us to create more and other jobs. If our representatives don't want that for us, I want them charged with treason, crimes against humanity and anything else they can be charged with. Attempted murder?

mistermunster, excellent post. I think if your WE USED YOU...GET OVER IT message were to really sink in we'd have another civil war on our hands. Sadly, what you say is true and it's a tough pill to swallow. As long as so many still have, it ain't going to happen. But with things going as they are, there are going to be so many more who don't have. All I can say is Viva la Revolucion!

Amen! The rich and that includes many in politics, have become so arrogant and immune to the suffering of the common man/woman in this country. I really am starting to believe that it is going to take riots/violence to get their attention. Why do theses fools not remember history.
