Sorry Obama, I’m not stimulating this economy fast enough :( I have failed you.

I am a bit short on cash, so I’m spending my money with fat corporations like book publishers and video game companies. I don’t often have enough cash to spare on family restaurants like this one in Glendale. I have heard plenty of good reviews about the Toasted Bun restaurant, and I always drive past it without realizing that it’s a restaurant. 

Damn, if only I could have done more. If only I could have bought another cheeseburger… if only I had spent an extra $1.95 on fries and a soda… the economy would have been a better place today. 

I WAS SO SELFISH. I WAS A FOOL!!!

I didn’t consider… the business owner. The small business man is having such a difficult time competing with other giant fast food industries. Damn Damn Damn I am so ashamed of my modest wealth. 

Please, just give the rich people some more money. Please sir, tax my wealth and take it forcefully so I can stop having money left over after my modest expenses on cheaper food and the occasional books. I don’t deserve this. 

BUT. But…. there is hope. The rich can stimulate the shit out of this economy. Please leave them with more money, oh please. They will buy that extra burger, that I never could. They will buy that extra soda, that I never tasted… that THE ECONOMY never tasted. 

Please sir, help an economy in need. I have done all that I could, but it was not enough ;_; Sadness.

Although the Europeans, Japanese, and Americans have pushed interest rates to 0%, Asian countries have not. 

China still holds a firm 6%, while India, China, and Russia all hold about 8%. 

I would be interested in seeing what their growth rates would be like if they introduced some heavy monetary stimulus. I don’t mean to imply that their growth rates aren’t already high, but I wonder if it would have much of an effect on the world economy.

Either way, I believe the U.S. is in for a fun little surprise once we realize that Mitt Romney’s tax returns don’t matter as much as the financial crisis ahead of us if the Eurozone goes to shit.

Terrorists are job creators.

Messy kids are job creators.

Old people are job creators.

Graffiti artists are job creators.

I hate how our society today puts the job creators at the top of the praise list because they are so simple. A person who creates a job for another one is just saying “Hey, here’s a whole bunch of crap that society needs to get done and you all should do it for me for this much money.” 

Sure it circulates money, but the idea of a job isn’t that special. Terrorists can create jobs by destroying essential buildings that will be repaired as soon as possible. 

Messy children will create jobs by destroying furniture or drawing on the walls - somebody needs to fix that stuff right?

Old people create jobs by being so needy.

I suppose the surest way to create jobs is to destroy essentials such as your favorite chair, a national monument, or the sewage system. I hope the FBI doesn’t come after me for suggesting these things, but it’s true.

There is a lot more demand for work that is essential than work that is not. 

Obama’s 2012 campaign should be: “JOBS, WE NEED THEM SO MUCH THAT I’M WILLING TO BLOW UP FLORIDA FOR IT!”

Isn’t it interesting how none of our candidates are making much fuss about the financial crisis still trying to be resolved in the Eurozone? It is an important fact that Europe is a large trading partner of the United States, and that their economic conditions affect our trade and economy.
