If It Wasn't Obvious Thirty Years Ago,

it should be obvious by now that Republican neoliberal "ideas" about job creation should be flushed down the ideological toilet. I am of course referring to the "trickle on" theory of economics, which is very similar to the "seed faith" theology of those con men for Christ. The theory goes like this: If you give the rich more money by giving them tax cuts at your expense, somehow their "investments" in yachts, sixth or seventh mansions, and priceless art works will boost the economy by creating millions of jobs. Eventually you, too, can be rich, if you simply give the rich everything they want. Of course, all it really does it give them even MORE obscene wealth while making everybody else much poorer.

Robert Reich may implore Obama to counter this nonsense, but in truth Obama is cut from the same neoliberal cloth as the GOP.

I have little hope Obama will do jack shit on the economic front.
