I’M MAD AS HELL AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
NATIONAL SHOUT OUT DAY:
MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2009 at 8:00PM!
You are either part of the solution, or you are part of the problem. Either way on Shout Out Day you will be “known”.
It is reported this morning that the NATIONAL unemployment rate is now at 9.8%, which is 15.1 million people.
This does NOT include “discouraged” workers or “marginally attached” workers who add another 2.2 Million people to that total…..these people are not counted in the “national unemployment rate (conveniently). Nor are others who have just given up – who want to work, but don’t even look for a job anymore for countless valid reasons.
**UPDATE**: Ron Paul, on the Jon Stuart show Sept 29th. While talking about his newly released book “End The Fed”, Ron Paul states that if the TRUE unemployment count was released, where all persons of any “category” who were looking for a job were counted, the true rate of that unemployment would actually be around 20%! To view this clip, CLICK HERE (unemployment statement made at minute marker 4:01-4:04). He also talks about the counterfieting machine used to print money for temporary fixes to the economy – just as I stated in a previous post about Foreclosures (http://sharonodell.com/2009/09/12/how-the-great-recession-started/).
Everytime I think of where we are today, I instantly remember a movie that is perfectly suited for these times (Network, 1976, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074958/quotes), RENT IT, WATCH IT!!! This isn’t a new problem! This is a freaking repeat!!!
I’M MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
You’ve got to get mad!… You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it!!!
