Hi, Rob the Welder here. I guess I am the liberal alternative to Joe the Plumber-except I am a certified welder and I learned the trade in the Marines. I do not however weld-full disclosure. That will be the last full disclosure from me-because I will not provide links or any factual backup to any of my opinions. If you see me on Democracy Now or Fox or even CNN , I will be the guy yelling louder than everyone else, because after all, he who yells loudest is the most correct.
The following is a diary, endorsed by many underground liberal organizations-but let me get something straight, I find terms to categorize me disgusting and I use the term liberal so you have an idea what advertising demographic I am going for.
OK, so AIG needs more money or the recession that Bush started and perpetuated by ignoring it with Katrina like irresponsibility . We don't want a broader recession, but AIG should be forced to sell off their company policy by policy if they can't sell the entire department . To big to fail is no longer an option.
AIG does have a health insurance division, considering what we have given them, every American has paid for Health Coverage for a couple years already-the President should get some time to develop single payer health care and nationalize AIG. With the money we dumped in already, we are all automatically covered.
EXCLUSIVE NEWS ! Only from Rob the Welder !
Rush Limbaugh has been arrested again, this time in an airport. In a security line it was discovered he was trying to smuggle Oxicotten in the rectum of a hamster inside his rectum . Charges pending
Exxon avoids layoff, gives packages ! This story won't get attention what so ever, but after a 45.2 BILLION dollar year Exxon saw the price of gas dropping and it's profits dropping. Retirement is costing them big, for the workers ! The recently retired CEO who got a 400 million dollar package is not hurting Exxon, it is the guys who are getting cancer in the tank farms and labs who are. Forget the recently retired CEO won his job after the Valdez spill , he is only getting 1 million dollars a year as a consulting fee until he dies (on top of the 400 million). These are the same guys who were making the famous jelly bean comments in the 80's.
Don't fret though, Exxon offered employees a 5-5-2 package to avoid the bad publicity of a layoff ! Recent rumors show Exxon may have offered to many the package and may be calling guys back from retirement ! And CEO's are brilliant ?
Sunoco , a small refiner of crude , recently avoided a strike and managed to avoid bad press leading up to the strike by funding a couple of parades and swamping the Philadelphia Inquirer and Delaware County Daily Times with advertising ! Not to mention local networks . The dispute was not over the 3% raises , the benefits or any other such nonsense the public was led to believe by the recently hired CEO (who got a 10 MILLION DOLLAR BONUS FOR TAKING THE JOB) . The threatened strike was over language in the contract that stated Sunoco could remove raises, benefits, seniority or any other clause offered in the contract IF THEY DEEMED NECESSARY !
Think about that- I know all oil company executives have hearts and they probably wouldn't, but they could sign a contract on Friday and on Saturday remove everything that was agreed upon ! Way to report the whole story media of Philadelphia ! I know we are not supposed to say bad things about women in the work place, but the new CEO of Sunoco is a CUNT !!!!!
SEC BREAKING NEWS !!!
Most of us have seen clips of John Stewart ripping CNBC concerning their coverage of a Ponzi Scheme jerk. It seems the SEC has managed to avoid the same scrutiny !
What has yet to be mentioned ON ANY NEWS OUTLET (including Democracy Now) is that while the SEC received complaints from 3 highly respected investors about Bernie Madof and other Ponzi Scheme masterminds were being interviewed on TV and laughing at them , THE SEC WAS INVOLVED IN A HUGE INVESTIGATION OF INSIDER TRADING !!
Yes, you may think they dropped the ball, but they were actually involved in an investigation for over a year concerning insider trading by......
HOWARD STERN !!!! I shit you not. The Stern investigation took up to much time and man power to investigate respected investors complaints . Howard Stern, known for being a financial wizard, market manipulator , and as King of All Media was under investigation .
It may have been Stern's inability to have evidence produced against him that led to Billion Dollar Ponzi Scheme's to run rampant . Stern may soon be investigated for aiding Madof and others as being a cover for them !
Thats the news from Rob the Welder !
Don't forget-giving you money is a welfare state, giving a CEO money is stimulating the economy !
Also, health care for all makes us France in the 1980's ! Especially since Blue Cross wants to be at the table to 'help' Obama fix the mess THEY CAUSED !
Making healthcare affordable for all is communism , but making sure 1 CEO gets paid 25 million bucks is America. Lets mesh the best of all worlds.
