99ers Up Shidz Creek Without A Paddle - Tier 5 Extension Now


Travelling upstream against the wind without a paddle in the murky waters of Shidz Creek, 99ers now find themselves shocked like deer in the spotlight of a backwoods poacher.

The price of gasoline has jumped significantly this past week.

The cost of food has been rising steadily for years.

Home foreclosures are reaching epidemic numbers.

War is imminent in the Middle East (again).

President "O"bom(bast)a has upgraded double-speak to octa-speak.


Perhaps employed/retired Americans do not believe that 99ers are about to starve to death this bitterly cold winter.

Perhaps employed/retired Americans are mocking 99ers out of guilt, or greed, or fear that they may be next in the cheese line.

Perhaps employed/retired Americans have never felt the bitter sting of hunger, or the utter fear of homelessness.


Higher education is no longer a guarantee of decent employment in America. In fact, many 99ers have been forced to lie by omitting achievement of college degrees in order to secure low-paying jobs.

Most 99er have nothing at this point but ulcers, migraines and a sincere wish to find a paddle, so that we can make our way out of this mess.

Please explain:

"QE2".

14 months ago: Ok, now that you've watched the video, and probably some of the rubuttals also, you know that the dollar is being deliberately devalued. This is to (in theory) increase foreign demand for cheaper American made products, and reduce the demand for imports into America.

What they don't tell you is that the dollar is so closely tied to the world's economy, commodity prices have increased dramatically globally, thanks to QE2. The unrest caused by sudden worldwide inflation is leading to destabilizing governments, and fears about future supply is driving up the cost of oil, products, and in turn, the price of commodities (food) goes up even more. It is a vicious cycle.

14 months ago: Pastor I really enjoy reading your articles. The plain fact is that everyone is kicking us to the curb and hoping that we will just die and make room for more rich people. I still cannot believe that the President does not care about us or at least make some type of statement referring to our plight. I guess we just keep swimming up stream against the current.

14 months ago: I can't believe what is going on either, Aschott. The Pastor is right.
From the attitude of the President that I have seen, he seems to be taking the high ground and avoiding us. He never mentions the unemployed much. I never saw anything like this from a President. He just seems to be falling into line with the rest of those who are taking away our rights. How long can we swim against the current without giving out.

14 months ago: I agree with you both. We will never see a new tier because the Republicans are so worried that the rich will not get more money. They cut the programs that mean the most to us and the Middle Class and they complain that the government is broke so no more money can go out. Who ever voted for these fools are fools themselves. I will keep hoping and fighting with all of you.
