Quote of the day

Capitalism vs. Socialism

I got yer ugly, crazy Socialism right here:

5 Ways Norway Is Better Than Your Country

• Access To Higher Education Is Free
• Norway Invests In Its Citizens
• Progressive Prisons
• Norway Does Socialism Right
• Norway Is The Happiest Country On Earth

Norway has national health care, 

a 12-month paid maternity leave law, 

universal socialized pension system, 

and tuition free higher education. 

Despite the “cradle-to-grave" welfare, Norway has a budget surplus, little national debt, and navigated the rough seas of the global financial crisis with hardly a rocking of the ship.

Short story: the happiest country in the world is the most socialist.

Suck it, Right Wing, Republican, Libertarian, Tea Party corporatists.

""Profits come at the price of human misery. The best stock day ever will be the day before the world ends." --Kai M. Smith (friend)

Quote of the day--on Republicans and their deficit spending

“...the people of Minnesota, the people of the United States, were absolutely devastated by the eight years of neglect, eight years of a policy that masqueraded as a vision, which was little more than a Ponzi scheme, that Wall Street was conducting. For eight years, all that happened was we piled up debt, we generated losses for the middle class, and the end result was, when we came into office, we inherited, before I a chance to turn on the computer in the office -- Fritz, your old office – we were handed a bill for $1.3 trillion, a projected deficit of $8 trillion for the next 10 years, if we did nothing.”


“...if I hear one more Republican tell me about balancing the budget, I am going to strangle them. To the press: that’s a figure of speech.”   --Vice President Joe Biden.

And like it or not, he's right.
