The Obama Solution? Redisribution of Poverty

The real news is not the actual unemployment numbers, layoffs (temporary unemployment), or unsold goods. The real and awful news is the permanent disappearance of current jobs, which means if you're currently unemployed you better train for a new job because your old one ain't coming back....ever. This means that no amount of "shoring up" an existing business is going to solve stuff. We need "new and necessary" businesses and there is nothing out there. Obama will have one single solution. Want to guess what that is? So while an increasingly angry and unemployable work force (with 75% gun ownership) stirs the boiling pot more each day, government spending with money that isn't there is the "solution" offered. Do the Republicans have even a vague solution? Sure: easier borrowing terms, lower taxes, gun rights, and tighter abortion rules. And maybe a war (it worked in 1941). More than one astute blogger (led by Big Picture) is quoting memorable lines from Caddyshack to get us through the night. (Actually you can go to the link and get maybe a hundred lines that describe our current situation better than ten Democratic hacks can ever hope to utter. Lines like: It's easy to grin / When your ship comes in / And you've got the stock market beat. / But the man worthwhile, / Is the man who can smile, / When his shorts are too tight in the seat.)

What new business would you like to start? Invented the electric fork? A rubber band operated dildo? A cure for AIDS that includes bareback anal penetration? Get going: Two wrongs don't make a right but three rights make a left.

Meanwhile gun sales rise like a rocket and we all know why. And don't forget this little tid bit: One of the hottest selling stocks amid the economic misery we’ve been experiencing in the past month is gun maker Smith & Wesson. Chart below (h/t Gasparino)
