Come with me now, to those thrilling days of yesteryear ............

[Stinky The Clown]

Well, maybe not yesteryear, exactly ....... but 2000. Bill Clinton's presidency was ending. The ecenomy, in the moment, seemed pretty good. But The Dick and his monkey needed a talking point. So suddenly they started speaking of recession. "The Clinton Recession".

They never owned it, Dick and his monkey boy. Oh no. It was Clinton's fault.

So here we are. Eight years hence. We are in the deepest shit we've ever been in. Arguably worse than the Great Depression, at least (so far as we know right this minute) in terms of the complexity of the shit in which we find ourselves standing.

We got here because of eight years of unfettered Republicanism, deregulation, two credit card wars, a housing bubble created solely to give the illusion of George The Lesser's "Ownership Society", the creation of securitized air, gambling in the financial markets that would have been illegal were it to have been tried in Las Vegas, and rules changed to allow The Dick's bosses to cart off the drapes, the furniture, the contents of the fridge, the cash in the fruit jar under the back porch, and then to empty the garage.

And today, after the first breath of fresh air to have wafted across the land in the last eight years - the announcement of Obama's economic team - and we get "This Is Now Obama's Economy."

REALLY?

Howzzat happin?

This ain't Idiot Son's Fuckup?

Kiss my ass.

1. I hope the clear brutal truth of history will denounce the whole bush

cheny criminal family regime. Can you imagine how future people will wonder at how America let Haliburton's ceo pull this Iraq war cash machine swindle? I believe we haven't scratched the surface yet, because even the most blatant graft and profiteering has been ignored. People will question how we Americans of this time let so much happen, much the same as people question how Germans allowed Hitler and the Holocaust. No disrespect to Holocaust victims, but America for the most part has no idea how many lives Bush has killed.

Clinton were the result of reaganomics :silly:
