DetroitYES Sings The Economic Blues

[DetroitDad]

Doop dee dop dee dop da da dee,
I got the economic blues
Ohhhh the economic blues
Dee dee dee dee dee da

Wellllll,

My jobs have all cut my hours
I can't find no work
Now that GM has gone sower

Baby I got the blues

I can't catch a break
and I can't lay no blame
except maybe on Obama
or that rat duo Bush Cheney

YEAH I GOT THE BLUES

[ccbatson]

Pretty good.

Blame? Socialism and those that push it.

CC, you're just everywhere, aren't you? You're downright prolific. You msut be many people all wrapped up in to one. You all must mean socialize corporate and military losses and privatize corporate and military profits. That's the only socialism that exists in this country.

*GENERIC RESPONSE TO CC POST*

ccbatson, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this thread is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[ccbatson]

Medicare/medicaid, Social security, Welfare....and on, and on...You don't consider these socialized government programs?

That was hillarious.....

[gazhekwe]

In a word, No. But this thread is not about socialism or your, or anyone's opinion thereof. /end of threadjack

[ccbatson]

If economic blues are the result of socialism bankrupting our economy, then it is very much a central part of this topic and thread.

Big IF!........

[East Detroit]

Capitalists and partisans have just about destroyed this country.

[oldredfordette]

Detroit Dad, you started an interesting thread. Too bad it was hijacked.

Back on thread-

Two Trillion Tons (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkmLL_WjI2k) (to the tune of 16 tons)

Obama got elected, now there is no end;
The Democrats wanna tax and spend,
Tax and spend us into bankruptcy,
With a tax-cheat runnin’ our Treasury.

You spend two trillion bucks, and what do you get?
No recovery but deeper in debt.
St. Peter better call me ‘fore it’s too late;
I owe my soul to the welfare state!

Obama is a leftist, as he can’t deny;
‘Govern from the center,’ was a great big lie.
Karl Marx Manifesto is his playbook,
And you and me soon will be on the hook.

You spend two trillion bucks, in unsecured cash;
Soon the dollar will be pure trash.
Our bond holders we have to appease;
We owe our soul to the Red Chinese.

Obama and his people are makin’ a mess,
Bernanke’s fired up the printing press,
Printin’ money that don’t exist,
No wonder America is gettin’ (peeved?)

You spend two trillion bucks,
They ain’t done yet!
Obama and Pelosi are pilin’ up the debt.
I work hard for the money, this I don’t deserve…
We owe our souls to the Federal Reserve!

[ccbatson]

Daily news giving more and stronger evidence of Obama's socialist agenda hasn't convinced you yet?

[ccbatson]

I will gladly accept a failing mark from you Slim...A sign of success in my book.

[Mama Jackson]

Medicare/medicaid, Social security, Welfare....and on, and on...You don't consider these socialized government programs?

CC, Aren't you a doctor? Do you practice medicine on humans? Do you accept Medicare patients, or are they unworthy of your skills because they get assistance from the government?

[Danny]

Don't blame socialism for this mess. Blame George Bush!

[jcole]

CC, are you sure you aren't about 75 years old and live near Columbus, OH, because I swear you're my brother in law. He see's socialism around every corner, too.

[ccbatson]

Once again...if a coercive government monopoly is in force, citizens have no choice other than to work towards political change to disassemble it

[ccbatson]

Myopia again Slim...What you are aware of as far as my actions are concerned are limited to Dyes....You don't seriously believe that this is all I do.

[DetroitDad]

As I type this you have a dozen posts here in a row. I think many of us might wonder if this is all you do. ;)

[ccbatson]

20 minutes a day? To a liberal that might constitute a full day...they have no idea.

[reddog289]

Don't worry everything is good you can get Pepsi and Mountain DEW with real sugar. But you know I don't like having the Government up my ass into everything I do, say,consume, etc.And I don't like my tax money being passed out left and right to everything and anything. I myself have never looked at Obama as the savior, But I grew to think of Bush as a puppet like I am begining to think that Obama is becoming a fast puppet hisself.Yeah things are pretty much snafu and I myself can't answer any question that would make any sense.Yeah change is good if it benefits you. I myself would be pissed if I got sacked from my job any job while the man who promised change was in office.This last election was in my opinion a total joke. Sarah Palin and what ever the hell she was wearing that day, Obama born a US citizen or not? all kinds of crap. The only change I see myself is that things have gotten worse. I know give the Man time, But tell that to the people who are gonna be homeless, are homeless. From what I see and hear is alot of bashing of the Autoworkers, Actully I myself can bitch about one myself, Yet when I look around at Detroit. Like it , or hate It, WE ARE THE MOTOR CITY. If not for the Auto alot of us would not even be here.Sure things might have been different if the auto wasn't the mainplayer here. Sure you wouldn't have the gasses from the cars, then you would have joggers bitching about the horse shit in the streets. Hell everyone round here can sing the blues, But something needs to be done and soon.

[ccbatson]

Ignorance is bliss in Slim land I suppose...enjoy.

[reddog289]

Hell I thought my rant would stop this thread.

[Flanders]

Our auto industry is broke
Neighbors livelihoods going up in smoke
The unemployed and homeless may find it might be better to croak
If their stress does not kill them first in a series of strokes

Mile after mile of boarded up buildings
In the hoods there are drug related killings
Abandoned homes whose yards once had barbecue grillings
Foreclosed now because of unpaid mortgage billings

Detroit once was hailed as the city of trees
Now it has streets strewn with trash stirred up by the breeze
The MCS and other large buildings await the wrecking ball
Stark reminders of times when the city stood tall

The rest of the US looks at Motown with wonder
How did the city get so torn asunder
Was it a result of government blunder?
Or was it because so many local businesses went under?

Now the economic destruction is extending far and wide
There will be no place for anyone to hide
And hope to wait out the enveloping tide
The entire country will soon be going along for the ride
And it won't be in our "cars" that they so snidely deride.

[Flanders]

Conservatives claim that socialism is to blame
Prosperity will occur if we just play their game
Of cutting taxes and enriching the wealthy
Trickle down theory means the US is healthy

Nevermind if your job is shipped out of state
Tariffs and protectionism makes CEOs quite irate.
Jobs will be created if everyone will just wait
Although outsourcing and offshoring will never abate

Support the troops is the conservatives' call
Defending their freedom is the most important of all
Until soldiers no longer can serve
Then a discharge slip is all that they deserve

Government entitlements are the bane of our nation
Personal responsibility with no deviation
Unemployment is a myth because of job creation
The aged, infirm and disabled can pray for their salvation
Assistance should be given through a charitable donation

[ccbatson]

The wealthy, more specifically, the producers (those who generate something from nothing) are the engine of our economy. Hamstring them, and who do you suppose bears the brunt of the harm? Those employed by the wealthy? Those indirectly benefitting from the consumption of said wealth? IOW...you...the regular guy or gal.
