Double Dip Recession

greg skidmore

If you liked the first dive of the economy you'll love the second dip.

It's all about a lack of cooperation and coordination. Congress is paralysed, Barry just doesn't seem to understand and the corporate kings sit on one hand and count money with the other. What at one time seemed to be a hopeful opportunity for change has resulted in a full return to the reckless casino of greed driven growth of wealth without meaning or purpose.

The big banks and huge companies we saved with our tax dollars are now punishing naive Americans that dared to dream of economic reform. Corporate America will not relent until total deregulation once again returns. Who would have guessed that Reaganomics and Objectivism would result in insanity?Repeating ruinous mistakes is crazy, no?

We no longer have robber barons but legions of MBA's (G.W.) with a sausage grinding mentality devoid of ethics, hope or humanity. Cost/Benefit thinking always results in harm to the living pawns.

Everyday we are bombarded with bald faced lies and 50% of us believe them. White people have the slave mentality of sucking up to the boss. Actually the slaves yes'm, no'm the masters while subverting them at every avenue. White people ain't that smart. This explains the present day Republican party. Here's the real GOP platform, "All you peoples, you are flying on your own and we will not blow any air under your wings. All you ricos, tell us what you need."

Dump Barry, he's too timid, he could have done good but he was focused from the beginning on the next election. Pass it off to Hillary. She has a history of being a greedy bitch but she can go face to face with anyone. I trust her old hippie instincts more than anything she has learned traveling this evil earth and talking to the monsters that rule it.

The one thing that made FDR right was that he immediately embraced humanity. A patricain cripple with an angry and unforgiving wife he sincerely embraced the people, saved us, sent us to war and was loved.

Kennedy had no real courage, Johnson was a manipulator, all the Republicans except Nixon were serving the corporate good. Nixon only served his own good.

Sixty six years without leadership is a long time. The whole world looks to America to lead. The Chinese and the Germans govern, the British and the Indians have the best governments and America will fail because we equivocate.

So, hold your nose and get ready for the double dip. Convert your holdings into cash or bet the short side, keep a house or cardboard box to live in, concentrate on essentials and teach the kids everything you know because the schools aren't doing it. Prepare to live at the new bottom. We need a fiscal M.L. King, someone to point out the immorality of excess, the depravity of isolated wealth and the possiblities of cooperative growth.
