La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for August 15, 2011

The “viscious blood-sucking beasts” are the illegal aliens in the USA who ignore our laws and subsist on our welfare while insisting that the USA “owes” them. Alcaraz’ comic is nothing but racist, anti-American propaganda. If Alcaraz is so angry at this country and at Americans, maybe he should emmigrate to Mexico.

That about covers it.

When you wingnuts keep talking about “I want my country back” – where does that leave the other 200 million of us?

There have always been low wage jobs for migrant farm workers in the American SouthWest. If the unemployed want to come take those jobs away from the Mexicans, they can try.Lots of laws are stupid.

The normal function of Wall Street is to provide financing for all the incredible productivity that makes your standard of living possible. It is typical of our era of growing government that decades of interference in finance, banking, and housing (just for starters) so distorted the economy that Wall Street crashed, dragging down the economy with it.

But the real guilt belongs to those who want more and more government control over the economy. The pattern is long-established: interfere in the economy, cause a problem, then use that as the excuse for more interference in the economy. The blame for this does not rest on Wall Street.
