When Wall Street Went Socialist

What would Mr. Milton Friedman do, one must ask at this hour of mass market hysteria and total bafflement. What advice would he give in order to avoid a total economic meltdown. What intellectual knots would he have to tie himself into to have his neat little theories fit in with the new Era of Wall Street socialism.

Policies put in place since the Reagan Revolution, until now the Gospel of Garbage being spread throughout the world, are now being reviled by politicians that worshiped at the demi-god's feet and tried to name every airport, high way and park after the genius actor with the stately voice and the anorectic bitch for a wife.. Where is his non interventionist, the market will take care of itself credo now. Why are the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve begging for a hand out, a heavily regulatory back step to avoid further chaos? Let the market do its thing, a true Miltonian would declare. So what if a few executives throw themselves off the not very high Wall Street buildings and the average Joe loses what he shouldn't have in the first place. It's a cruel world, let nature, in this case, monetary and economic nature take its self correcting course in this age of Darwinist survival of the fittest ( Darwin has consistently been quoted out of context but that's an entirely story all together.)

There are no limits to the lengths these neo-cons and their ilk will go to in order to save their asses and justify their mean spirited greedy and just plain stupid policies. Mr Milton has been proven wrong again and again, but his erroneous and unproven theories fit into a New World Order view point. Therefore Mr. Milton was a genius. I hope he burns in hell, little slobbering idiot worshipping at the feet of his masters, the men hidden behind marble halls and tax free islands.

The noise is incessant and useless. They want their 700 billion dollar hand out and they will get it. They will scream doom and gloom and the sky is falling until we can't take it anymore and just give them the hand out. They need to maintain their 10 million dollar Park Avenue apartments, the house in the Hamptons and vacations in Aspen. They need a chauffeur, 10 maids, 3 nannies and a slew of other docile servants. They are useless blood sucking ticks, sucking the marrow of society, while leading one and all to believe that what they have is the American Way of Life.

It is not! The American way of life is a myth, a media blitz where we drown in cheap consumer goods and cars that more resemble little tanks. It is "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" in the pornographic version where the call girls (working women) rule over the roll call of the Congress floor. It's "A Wonderful Life" where George Bailey's dream is reality and Mr. Potter is the owner of the town.

Just one question: Would we give a large amount of money to someone who has spent their life running their ill gotten fortune into the ground? It is effectively what the American tax payer will be doing. We will be giving money to people who do not know how to manage it, just know how to pillage. And we criticize the Marcos and the Duvaliers? The only difference is that our guys have a little more finesse.

Were it not for the extreme follies of Louis the XIV, Marie Antoinette might have been able to keep her head connected to her body!
