Aaah, the gratuitous misrepresentation of important things.
I'll miss it so when the Russians scuttle LJ.

Ah...the kickback for unions. :P

I may be wrong, but I think it looks like Barrack and Michelle dressed up in Muslim garb (I think it was the cover of the New Yorker a few months back). And, since it's Ramirez, I wouldn't be surprised.

Employees: 208,000 (2007)

[ellie-kay.livejournal.com]

i don't advocate that.

"Employees: 208,000 (2007)"

Add that to the monthly cost of our "war on terror" in Iraq and Afghanistan. Feel safe yet, America?

Curses, foiled again!

[saint-monkey.livejournal.com]

Damn! Trumped by lafinjack *again.* (I tried to post this same comment, minus factual wikipedia link, some half a day later.) Don't mind me, I'll just be irrelevant on some other community.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week, try the veal.

Irrelevance is highly underrated. = )

Isn't the cartoon supposed to be clever or funny instead of true?

[milkquasy.livejournal.com]

Both.

Comics are an excellent way to say baised truth with enough kick to make the subject flinch. Or used to be, now people get paid to act like bitches with words. :)

[savagemind.livejournal.com]

LOL. Yeah, but I mean...it's obviously trying to condemn him, when all I feel is "hell yeah! Bring us 500,000 new jobs!"

[dwer.livejournal.com]

wow! You finally got something RIGHT! All the economy needs is MORE SPENDING! About a trillion dollars worth. And the government is the spender of last resort, and boy, howdy, are we on our last resort.

Finally. A cartoon that tells the truth. I didn't think you had it in you, cheer-girl.

Economics 101 - government spending stimulates the economy and creates jobs. Tdah.

[aerorhcp.livejournal.com]

The problem is that the tax payers have to pay for it. Obama wants to create more jobs? Im fine with that as long as he cuts earmarks and wastefull spending.

[desidono.livejournal.com]

He's said he wants his stimulus package to be earmark free. In terms of spending, the way I look at it is like this:
Bush spending: McDonald's.
Obama spending: Fresh, organic home cooked meal.

Same dollars, better quality. Some may quibble about the cost and benefit of the organic part, but it's still a much much better option than McDonalds.

[saint-monkey.livejournal.com]

How absurd.

We don't need new ones, we can just transfer them from the Department of Homeland Security.

[blueduck37.livejournal.com]

Soldiers, sailors, Marines, etc, are technically government employees. Should I hate them too?

[adrunkencadence.livejournal.com]

Yes. Every one of them. Ellie implores you to.

[desidono.livejournal.com]

In the republican world, there are only two good kinds of spending:
1) Department of Defense
2) Deficit spending

Tax cuts for everyone the already rich!
