CORPORATE SHAKE-UP
If you've ever worked for a boss who reacts before getting the facts and thinking things through, you will love this!
Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.
On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business. He asked the guy, "How much money do you make a week?"
A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, "I make $400 a week. Why?"
The CEO said, "Wait right here." He walked back to his office, came back in two minutes, and handed the guy $1,600 in cash and said, "Here's four weeks' pay. Now GET OUT and don't come back."
Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here?"
From across the room a voice said, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's."

My guess is the CEO is a conservative because thats pretty much how conservatives do their voting too.

I thought it was Ronald Reagan who started the hemorraging of the US economy to support the military/industrial complex and thus start government funded employment???

There's nothing wrong with a well built up military.

Probably not. Given decent political control. But there is this awful urge, if you have a hammer, to use it.
But what I was referring to was the state funded employment that (as I understand it at present) resulted from Reagan's massive military boost. There's a certain irony to Reagan boosting the proportion of GDP spent on the military when successive Soviet governments did the same thing, which is what caused their Empire to collapse. I fear we are seeing something very similar happening in in America as a result.
I mean, you could almost call it socialist.

And you would be correct, Clod, if there was something the money was backed by which had value. But thats not the case any longer. Today money is nothing more than an entry on a balance sheet, or a computer screen.
We don't have to worry about running out of money, and since the entire world economy is similar, it makes not a bit of difference - almost. When it turns to one world bank then it will be complete.
Money is becoming worthless, which is fitting because just about anything one buys with it is worthless too.

Ahso: Hope you are right, I really do. Because I don't see what's keeping us (UK) afloat otherwise.

Funny,
That is like the other one from the manager’s perspective:
A new CEO visits one of the company’s manufacturing plant as he needs to decide on which pant he will be closing down.
While walking the plant floor he sees an employee leaning against a wall
He say hello to the employee and asks him
‘how many people work here?’
To which the employee replies: ‘oh, I would say about half of them’
Two months later the plant was closed.
