Where do you think the money comes from to pay those that are employed right now?

The soup line in that picture did not form overnight after the crash of 1929.

Even if one does not understand economics, everyone should understand that sh!t rolls downhill.

The soup line in that picture did not form overnight after the crash of 1929.

Even if one does not understand economics, everyone should understand that sh!t rolls downhill.

That soup line formed after Congress screwed the entire world into a depression through the Smoot-Hawley Tarriff Act passed hastily in 1930 in order to make themselves look like they were doing something after the '29 crash. Today's Congress appears (especially the Democrats like Frank and Dodd who are at the heart of this current mess) even more eager to absolve itself of blame by attributing it all to the greed of the private sector; however, there are few people more greedy and venal than politicians, except for robbers and con-artists who, like Congress, believe they are entitled to someone else's money.
