Finally Back

I am finally back after a REALLY long week without posting, but sadly, I don't have much to report on. BBot is closer than ever to achieving multi-network support.

However, I do have a political rant to share with you all.
I have been watching C-SPAN recently, and for those of you who don't know, C-SPAN and C-SPAN2 are the channels on which live sessions of congress are broadcasted to all of the United States. Congressmen and women are allowed to give general speeches at various times, so I decided to watch a few.
A republican senator (I will not reveal his name because I don't wish to harm is public image) stood up and started saying "Stimulus Bill" in a sarcastic way, and then he continued to complain about how the democrats have not created jobs. Finally, to prove his point, he pulled out a graph that proves that democrats haven't created jobs.
Well, for one, the graph was the wrong type of graph for the data he was trying to represent. Anyone who did not realize the type of graph he was using would surely think that the democrats have destroyed jobs which is not the case! They also tried to blame the massive job loss at the start of the depression on the democrats, but in fact, this started during a republican controlled term. Lastly, they removed government jobs from the graph, so it looked lime democrats didn't create any jobs, but in fact, they created plenty of jobs, way more than the republicans can count.
As for saying "Stimulus Bill" in a sarcastic way, well they obviously dong know that The stimulus bill is an INVESTMENT that America MADE MONEY off of! Not to mention that this senator has used stimulus money to hold job fairs in his own state!

Finally, while watching C-SPAN2, I see that a democrat is trying to pass a bill that would give money to banks so they could loan to small businesses and get capital flowing and creating jobs, but republicans are the primary opposition to the bill! They claim that it is a program like TARP, which it is NOT! There is NO strings attached, it is a VOLUNTARY program, and the loans come from PRIVATE BANKS, not the government themselves. Everything in this bill is something that republicans support in general, but they oppose the bill because it was written by a democrat. And the republicans accuse the democrats of not being bipartisan...

Well, this blog post is long enough. I'm sure more propaganda will come up soon for me to share. Thanks for reading!
