Dick “Dick” Cheney had the audacity to suggest that the average American should do more to increase personal savings. linkage (warning, may cause head to asplode)
Can’t help but echo Dr. Marble on this one.
The day I let Dick Cheney give me budget advice is the day I sign up for Tom DeLay’s Ethics in Government class.
Perhaps if Dick “fuck you” Cheney’s former company wasn’t draining the national treasury at an obscene rate, some additional saving could occur.
What has gotten less expensive since 2001 for the working man…gas prices are higher, natural gas bill is higher, healthcare insurance went up again, prescription drugs are more expensive, food prices have gone up.
Maybe Dick was talking about the “have and have mores”, should save the money they got with their tax break and not buy the new, Beamer, or benz or Lexus.
For what looks to be a fascinating account of how the rich get theirs (I’ve only gottten a little ways into it), take a look at:
Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. and the Aristocracy of Prison Profits: Inside the Financial World, Government Agencies and their Private Contractors Lies a Hidden System of Money Laundering, Drug Trafficking and Rigged Stock Market Riches, by Catherine Austin Fitts
link, Arcturus. What a greedy, immoral web they weave, ensnaring us all.
The big news for me today was the fact that the ONLY corporate sponsor for the New Orleans Mardi Gras was GLAD. Yes, the makers of plastic bags not only provided money (lots of it) , but trash bags to clean up with when Mardi Gras turned into Ash Wednesday at midnight. And it wasn’t only the city of New Orleans that turned up with clean up crew. New Orleans residents turned out, Glad trash bags in hand, to help clean up on St. Charles and other areas. Guess we know whose sandwich bags to buy, eh? I’m so proud of New Orleans, and Glad (whatever their corporate name is), I could just pop my buttons!
My big news is that bill collector actually hung up on me! Yeah, after giving me all of those standard lines (while I was LMAO), I finally said, “Do you really think that I give a fuck?” Click! That never happenned before!
Must have been new at the job!
I’ll have to remember that one. Thank you!
Feel free to use it anytime! I never expected that! (But, I think the thing is that you have to listen to them bitch you out first!)
