4. This is his "Mission Accomplished" moment |
|
I'm terribly afraid it's not going to last because all the things that led to the collapse are still in place. High flying finance is increasing their derivative exposure, meaning the casino is still open and doing a booming business, and abuses have not been curbed in other areas of the system. In the meantime, Main Street is still either unemployed or in fear of it and profits are illusory, more accounting tricks than a real recovery.
Enjoy it while you can, Tim, because it's simply not going to last. You can't have a top-down economy, it just never works that way.
30 years of Reaganism should have taught you that much.

8. He succeeded in looting the public purse.. |
|
on a scale never before imagined. They shifted private debts, accumulated in over a decade of reckless gambling and fraud, onto the public balance sheet. What was private risk is now sovereign risk, a far more dangerous proposition in a nation that already finds itself on the precipice of political turmoil.
