Greetings good citizen, since we are wrapping up the first month of the new year it seems the prozac eaters are once again experiencing (to paraphrase Reagan appointee Al Greenspan) 'irrational exuberance'.
The global economy [which is falling apart at the seams despite the endless stream of 'happy talk' being spewed by the corporate owned media] according to the latest (heavily massaged) 'metrics' [you wouldn't think you could 'massage' a puree but these guys are nothing if not 'creative'!]
Without a single fact to support their claims [bizarrely just like the stock markets] 'economists' talk up the reason why they get a paycheck.
It is 'bullshit' like this which is resulting in the exponential increase of random violence. [If they don't give a F then why should I?]
Naturally the feckless don't care about the 'unintended consequences' of their actions [any more than they care about their 'fitness to rule'.]
Too bad we don't have a back-up team to replace the current nitwits with [or would you be shocked to learn these ARE the 'back-ups'?]
Anyway, no discussion of 'the new economy' would be complete without acknowledging the origins of this fiasco, Nixon's 'Royal Presidency' followed a decade later by Saint Ronnie Raygun and 'Reaganomics' (complete with 'trickle down THEORY'!)
You've all heard of Reaganomics but it seems NONE of the pundits are willing to point out that now dead [worst president ever] had ZERO background in economics [in that he seems to be joined by every member of the current Chicago School of economic theory, whose adherants can't even spell economy nevermind comprehend the simplest of economic basics.]
While El Trumpo was recently on television blasting NAFTA as 'the worst deal ever' [why does that surprise anybody? NAFTA was the 'brainfart' of Reaganomics and already fiat accompli by the time THE REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED CONGRESS SUBMITTED THE DEAL TO BILL CLINTON FOR PASSAGE!
For any of you TOO STUPID to understand that the Republicans authored, implemented and CONTROLLED BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS when Clinton signed it into law [and congress did NOTHING to stop it...now does Hillary's loss make sense? [HE didn't have the BALLS to say No and She ran on his 'legacy'...and all that entails.]
How stupid are you?
[Rhetorical question...we already know the answer.]
How SHOULD we interpret today's headlines? The rich are getting richer and the (desperate) need for more trust funds is driving global poverty off the charts!
How's that for 'cutting edge' economic reporting?
Why not cut to the chase? [SS, DD.]
Same as it ever was...and in that we are facing our doom. Our inability to prevent the least of us from derailing justice through inequality condemns us to a state of perpetual war. [Talk about 'one trick ponies...']
We could straighten this whole mess out [to fix 'society' we must first fix the 'playing field'] End debt and economic hostage taking [I only employ my friends] and remove money from the control of the self-interested.
There is no such thing as 'rich' in an equitable world. YOUR MONEY IS FOR YOU! [and only you!]
Until we learn this lesson our lives will remain a 'living hell'.
Act, don't act, listen, don't listen, watch but don't pay attention [isn't that a little closer to the mark?]
Whole damn thing is lost on you and it will be until collapse makes it so you CAN'T ESCAPE [a fate you have brought on yourself!]
The 'fix' is easy but you still won't even attempt it because you fear tipping over the applecart.
Nothing is going to change if you fail to act and in that you are aceing it!
Nothing ventured = nothing gained.
Funny that, eh?
Thanks for stopping by and opening your mind,
