Never Forget: at their best, they’re just guessing

Paul Krugman makes a point I’ve pointed out before: they really are just making a best guess at correcting this crisis. And my guess is as good as theirs. Better, even, as I can sense bubbles and come close to timing their collapses.

Remember that every time an ‘expert’ says “employment may top out at 9% next year”. Can anyone explain who came up with that number and how? And why so many telejournalists repeat it as gospel?

But let’s add some other key points:

Democrats disdn’t ‘tax and spend’ us into this crisis. The biggest spending presidents in history - and in the last 30 years - have been Republicans.

Liberals didn’t cause this crisis.

Black Americans didn’t cause this crisis.

Hippies didn’t cause this crisis.

Feminists didn’t cause this crisis.

Mexicans didn’t cause this crisis.

Welfare Moms didn’t cause this crisis.

Academics didn’t cause this crisis.

Atheists and agnostics didn’t cause this crisis. Neither did Muslims.

Hollywood didn’t cause this crisis.

Gay people didn’t cause this crisis.

Conservatives and business leaders caused it and financial experts keep guessing how to stop it. And their answers seem to - coincidentally - keep taking money from all and giving it to the well-off few.

This isn’t about rescues or expertise. It’s about conservative pirates hijacking our wealth. And it’ll continue until the public gets angry enough to mock all the conservative thieves and liars and drive them back into hiding, shamefaced.

Maybe we should have Jim Crow laws to keep conservatives from voting and pass amendments to keep them from marrying and breeding.

    so true…. and as long as the same people who keep hijacking our wealth also control the media - they will blame everyone else

    You Forgot

    Unions didn’t cause this crisis!

    All the union bashing and shock doctirne crap to blame it on the unions is yet another ploy to suck money out of the middle class taxpayers. If we have only the extremely wealthy and the new age “serfs” who is going to buy all those imports?

    Its not Conservatives who caused this. Its the banking system set up by Democrats in 1913. And when I say Democrats I don’t mean Liberals I mean the party leadership, who are not elected by the american people. You should not try to blame Conservatives when it has been the Republicans and Democrats doing the bidding of the banking elites for the past hundred years.

    Pakistan is the hot bed of Jihadi Terror. Whether it was 9/11, or Nuclear leak to Iran, war in Afghanisatan, it has been aiding and abetting terrorism. The world has been fooled by the double speak of its government and Miltary. ISI is the root of global terrorism. When will the world see the truth and get rid off the root cause of terrorism! These people also killed Daniel Pearl a guy who was also on the trail of terrorists who were plotting 9/11!
