How many of the unemployed want to work, how many want to collect unemployment, how many are unemployable? Why are the newspapers and the internet full of help wanted ads? Let’s get real if people want to work they will take a job instead of sitting on their a$$ and collecting from the government. The comment about all the illegals taking US jobs is some what true because they will work, the regulations on business is pretty strong and requires employers to validate the employee has the right to work in the country. Anyone that does hire illegals usually knows it and they do it to save money for themselves, they are part of the problem.

‘Riots’…? Some disambiguation please. London, Greece, Philly Flash-mobs, punk teens make riots. Official provocation make riots. Spain and Egypt are not convulsing…yet.

The first trillion dollars did not work because of the practicing of Crony Capitalsim, AKA paying back major campaign contributors such as Solyndra and LightSquared just to name a few.

The second 500 million of dollars will not work either since the NET job creation will be zero. Taking the money out of the private sectors to create governmental jobs while private sector jobs will be cut by the same amount.

“Every….I repeat… every major economist in the world worth listening to said at the time (3 years ago) that we needed to spend more to get people working.” -CND FOX

We spent over a trillion dollars on stimulus, and it hasn’t worked. Obama had a super-majority for TWO YEARS and things are even worse than when he was elected. The only things could get this bad, this quick, is if it was done on purpose -and to try blaming the party that was virtually powerless to stop anything the democrats did is absurd.

T Trump, remember back when…….the democrats had the majority in both houses for 2 years and then for 2 more years the majority in ALL 3 branches of government. So what did the do, drove the car into the ditch and didn’t have enough sense to put the car in R to get out but put it in D and drove it off the cliff. Now the control 2 branches and still have their foot on the gas. Remember the famous words, sit down and s..up I’m president, get to the rear of the bus.

Every….I repeat… every major economist in the world worth listening to said at the time (3 years ago) that we needed to spend more to get people working. And the GOP pandered to their dumbed down base on the ‘deficit issue’. If we had gotten most of the layed off construction workers back to work repairing our infrastructure…you don’t think small business wouldn’t be hiring and expanding right now because of increased demand? And new tax monies wouldn’t be rolling in? It isn’t that hard of a concept people. How could you let the ‘negativism of the GOP fool you? So many of you just don’t understand that ‘class warfare’ is all ready happening – and YOU ARE THE CONSEQUENCE! WAKE UP!

Riots? Maybe in New York. But most likely in Detroit, Oh wait, there’s no one left there.

Maybe the Mayor should give smokers back the exhorbitant taxes he has raised since taking office and allow them to smoke in at least a fair number of establishments. Antismokers are among the chief architects of the economic downturn, when you consider that 20% of the populations has had huge amounts of their disposable income stolen by government(s); and you can’t tell me restaurants and bars and other associated industries haven’t suffered. Who is the Mayor to decide that smoking will kill more people than riot violence, economic despair, and getting fat from staying home too much. Leave (mostly poorer) people alone to have their little pleasures, stop stealing their money and watch how that helps improve the economy!

Don’t riots usually occur during hotter months? If so, then the likelihood of a major riot is decreasing every day from now until next spring.

It would probably take an unavoidable serious event to spark a major riot in NYC in the fall and winter:

-Fight breaks out at a jobs fair, and riot police crack down.

-Benefits like subsidized housing being offered on a first-come-first-serve basis leads to a crush of people and fights.

-Benefits like food stamps or subsidized housing are cut or delayed and crowds of recipients show up to the benefits offices to demonstrate.
