I wonder if KPO has anything to say about this.

The irony is that the GFC was created by the wealthiest and most powerful in society, who as far as I can see have had nothing but bailouts and assistance, while the poorest are made to bear the brunt of their greed.

This system is WRONG>

Similar problems here in US.
From 2009 - 2011, those on Social Security got no COLA raise.
I know some got a small one in 2012, but maybe not all.
While Social Security stayed the same, there is also Social Security
Disability, mostly paid for by the states. That was Lowered by
a substantial amount.

Basically, the elderly & disabled are paying a share for the recession
while, in fact, the cost of living went right on up.

I suspect the filthy rich will create jobs, probably not in the USA.
Means permanent recession. Makes no sense to me. More jobs here
mean more GNP, more taxes.

Isn't Barry trying to cut benefits for the troops? I think he also wants to fire around 80,000 of them too. That's OK though, they're not union.
