I just heard a recording of Barney Frank (is there anyone’s voice in Washington DC more annoying? His voice makes me want to drill Olbermann in the face again) saying that one of the reasons that the economy is faltering is that wages are not rising at the rate prices are. So then, according to Mrs. Frank, I suppose the government should proclaim that wages will rise in line with prices.
The problem is ‘exacerbated’ (DC loves that stupid word) when corporate employers do not give their employees raises to combat inflation.
There is so much wrong with this I do not know where to start. First of all, here we have yet another filthy, obscenely rich politician who is INSULATED from real economics, telling the corporations what they should do. It’s so disgusting all I can do is laugh. What a fool this reprobate, deviant, perverted homosexual government hack is!
Most importantly though, he has no idea what the truth is about his stupid idea: if you keep forcing fake raises, the prices will continue to rise faster and more dramatically.
The fact is, you stupid jackass, if you let the prices rise to a point, they start to come back down because when no one can afford to buy an X-Box, the X-Box price will come down to where people start buying them again.
Don’t tell me this country’s economy is a shambles, when just a few days ago people lined up all over the country to buy their new iPhones – and they had time enough to wait in line all freakin’ night and then pay about $500 for a toy. A freakin’ TOY! And the US economy is so terrible, so awful ... people have to buy gasoline but they still have money enough for a new iPhone.
Beam me up Scotty.
