Definition Of A Crisis

Filed in National by on June 25, 2010

Not a crisis:

Senate rejects unemployment insurance and Medicaid extension.

Screw you unemployed people! With unemployment (U3) at 9.7% jobs just grow on trees!

Crisis:

The Social Security trust fund will run out of assets in 2037, and will only be able to pay 75% of its benefit obligations until 2083.

The obvious solution to this dilemma is to invade Iran or some other country that is looking at us funny.

    Well the unemployed can go to Afghanistan. Congress will always find the $ to kill people.

    Well, the Republicans have vowed to block anything that adds to the deficit, so that means more war spending is out, right?
