Things you can blame the government for.

[TheBarrel]

Such as you failing at life. Or economy, whatever works.

 

[Undeed]

You can blame the government for damn near anything. That doesn't make it feasible or true, but you can say whatever you want.

My education.

You beat me to it. I blame the government.

 

[DoctorNick]

For tanking the economy with inflationary policies that led to poor lending practices and digging the hole deeper by destroying capital with higher taxes and a multiplied deficit.

Is there somewhere I can get off the good ship Obama?

Edit:

Oh, and by the way PETER SCHIFF WAS RIGHT. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdVP_sgCETo]

 

[Lothae]

My slow internet connection at home.

 

[Inverse Skies]

Oh you can blame them for the lack of water, the terrible public transport, the chocked freeway system... yeah you can rip of them for prettymuch whatever you want to. Just like you can blame society for pretty much anything as well.

 

[SinisterDeath]

Reality TV.

 

[ward.]

Shitasttic Internet connections as a rule of thumb, lack of nuclear power (should have been more sneaky about it Howard, you can trick us into a war but can't fool some hippies into a clean and reliable energy source?).

Really my only two complaints, australia's not all that bad all up.

Your Keynesian economics does not impress me. Such a school of though has been prevalent for some time now and I've seen nothing but trouble from it.

Supply-side all the way baby.

Peter was right and he is still right, we can't keep going to way we're going. We have to let stuff die.

Unfortunately our new RoboOverlord Obamatron's HopeChange juggernaut apparently feels they need to do more. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOVDqZEQk8E&feature=related]

Peachy.

Last I checked, it took both supply and demand to, you know, have an economy. But what do I know? After all, I learned economics from the Man.

 

[Internet Kraken]

I blame the government for the government.

Why? Because the government told me to.

 

[Rigs83]

For killing people who have done no one any harm while making life harder for the poor just so the rich can get richer.

The fact that there was an economic bubble in some sectors doesn't mean that the entire world's economy needs to contract. Schiff's tirades about 'phony wealth' and the need to decrease consumption are disproven by the facts of the current recession: real productive capacity in the 'underproducing' U.S. is declining as a result of low demand.

Workers are being laid off, factories and stores are closing, hours are being cut. That's physical, tangible, real ('supply-side') production decline, not a correction for improper value of money or securities. The market will fix itself eventually, but if we listen to people like Schiff, it really will be years instead of quarters.

We have a chance to use prudent, targeted economic stimulus to shore up consumer confidence and demand, and to keep people spending. Spending may have been too high in the past; a negative savings rate is always a disturbing sign. Now, however, it is far too low. A crisis that started in western housing, banking and investment sectors has generalized to nearly every sector in nearly every country. That's not a market correction, that's a market failure. There's no need to endure a deep, years-long hangover [http://www.slate.com/id/9593] because we got too rowdy with mortgage securities in the recent past.

for never being bloody open when I need them to!
Oh I need to renew my drivers license or get a passport? Better take the damn day off work so I can line up.

I'm an American who lives in the South. I blame government for virtually everything, including government.
