Another 23K on unemployment, means another 23K otherwise independent tax paying folks are now forced to get their lively hood from the government dole. More food stamps will be needed, more federal welfare folks (SEIU/ACORN) will be hired. Obamarx will have more control over the people of this nation.

Last night on TCM I watched the 1942 Spencer Tracy movie “Keeper of the Flame” about a reporter looking into the death of a man who had formed a vast network of supporters across the nation, one of vast chrisma, and he then finds out, that the man had intended his vast patroitic organization to be the basis for setting up a facist dictatorship in America. And I got thinking about how in 2008 there was this vast organization and support based upon the emotion and hope and change propaganda campaign of the current president.

Amazing how prophetic authors can be.

Off the top is Jules Verne, Ayn Rand, Joseph Heller, H. G. Wells, Chester Gould etc..etc..

I always saw a lot of bill clinton in the Andy Griffith character in “A Face in the Crowd” from around 1955 or so.

Yes, this makes more people dependent on the government. That’s the purpose. When everyone is dependent on the government, that is communism, no matter what it is called.
