The  ANT
AND  THE
GRASSHOPPER  

 
 Starring: The Ant(s)


And, The Grasshopper(s):

Just being fair and balanced.

OLD  VERSION: 

The ant works hard  in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and  laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks  the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come  winter, the ant is warm and  well fed.

The grasshopper has no  food or shelter, so he dies  out in the cold.

MORAL  OF THE OLD STORY:

Be  responsible for yourself!

MODERN VERSION  

The ant works hard in  the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and  laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come  winter,

Quote of the Day:

    "Now that the full court press to refute the findings of the CBO report which, as we reported, confirmed what was largely known - that as a result of Obamacare, the strapped US economy will have even fewer workers as millions will fall back on welfare state entitlements which make hard work obsolete - has failed, it is time for the propaganda to take a different track: one where not having a job, and in fact losing it due to Obamacare, is hailed as an act of nobility. Sure enough, here comes one of the administration's favorites, the Bezos Times, with "They quit their jobs, thanks to health-care law" which does largely as its name suggests: highlights just how "enabling" and "liberating" Obamacare is for one's life, once a person is no longer burdened by something as trivial as a job...

...One really can't make this up - it appears that in America's creeping transition to a socialist paradise, the new American dream is living on "Federal subsidies" (paid for by taxpayers) and government welfare...

...However, what is becoming clear is that slowly but surely, the entire process of labor and being employed is increasingly cast in a negative light: something which is not exactly surprising. At least not to our readers, because, sadly, we were once again just over a year ahead of the prevailing sentiment when, in November of 2012, we wrote "When Work Is Punished: The Tragedy Of America's Welfare State" when we said that "for increasingly more it is now more lucrative - in the form of actual disposable income - to sit, do nothing, and collect various welfare entitlements, than to work... That was then. Now we can add Obamacare... which will further help America's now almost extinct middle class get even more untethered and unleashed..." --Tyler Durden

Todays episode:

Pelosi says, “Today’s jobs report shows our recovery continuing to move forward.” 

(Even though the report showed that the economy did not add the 150,000 jobs necessary to keep up with the growth in population.)

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) thinks January’s jobs report is a sign of progress, though economic analysts believe it represents, at best, an economy stuck in place.
Even though the report showed that the economy did not add the 150,000 jobs necessary to keep up with the growth in population, Pelosi said in a statement, “Today’s jobs report shows our recovery continuing to move forward.” [...]
According to Reuters, though, January was the “second straight month of weak hiring – marked by declines in retail, utilities, government, and education and health employment.” In addition, the last two months represented the “weakest two months of job growth in three years, [as] December payrolls were raised only 1,000 to 75,000.”

"Most who reach this level of delusion are institutionalized, so where are the attendants in the white uniforms for this idiot?. When the country falls into the financial bottomless pit and people are forced to start eating grass, Pelousi will claim it's a move forward to a healthy diet for all
