Confused? It's simple!!!

Hey Folks,

Confused by the conflicting views on “the economy”?

Don’t be; it’s perfectly clear.

The new gink elevated Tuesday (if “elevated” applies when one gives up a thirty-eight million dollar salary for a paltry sub-million dollar amount) to Secretary of the Treasury says we need to take steps to be “competitive” in the “global market”; and his cheerleaders say he will work to lower taxes and cut spending in order to continue and improve the wonderful, robust, so-fucking-good economy.

Also Tuesday, the people (known as “consumers” to the upper-crust minority who prey on the people, who feed them credit cards while simultaneously instituting cruel bankruptcy “reform,” who make their fat living based on mindless consumerism but can’t tolerate losing a nickel from overextended shopping-bots) – Tuesday, the people expressed a view contrary to that of the new Secretary, his President-boss, and the Wall Street Swells.

The People (excuse me, the “Consumers”) said their confidence (their confidence in consuming, their “Consumer Confidence”) had fallen. This was reported by “The New York-based ‘Confidence Board’ ” (think about that; the ginks have an official “Confidence Board” – which works for the ginks – not the people/consumers they are monitoring).

Well, how can the economy be wonderful, robust, and so-fucking-good; but “consumer confidence” has dropped? Easy – just like when Wall Street celebrates because thousands of American jobs have been eliminated. Everything is judged by how it affects the ginks – fuck the rest of us.

When my ancestor William the Conqueror – via the rape of a chambermaid by one of his addled sons – defeated and killed King Harold and took charge of England; Anglo-Saxon serfs and Norman serfs “served” in the war of their leaders, killing and being killed to “make a better world" (for one set or other of the parasitical nobility.

But before AND after the conflict the serfs led a miserable existence, and their “heroic” service to god and noble changed not one aspect of their degraded situation. All the serfs before the glorious victory were still serfs after the glorious victory. They all still kissed noble asses; the Norman serfs still kissed Norman asses; the Anglo-Saxon serfs just redirected their lips.

It’s the same with the glorious economy. The "king" and the "barons" are doing just fine and are determined to continue their privilege – the serfs be damned. If serfs are laid off, if their jobs are shipped over seas, if it takes recruiting exploited “guest workers” – further degrading native workers, if “retirements” disappears, if “health care” becomes a joke, if endless wars decimate the children of the unwashed, if taxes must be shifted even more drastically from the powerful to the weak, if services to the least among us must be cut – if all this and more is necessary to continue and improve the wonderful, robust, and so-fucking-good economy – at least as it relates to the American Dollar-Royalty - so be it.

As I said, it’s pretty simple. When the old man died, those who cared about him mourned, but Anna Nicole celebrated – just like Wall Street!!!
