EXCERPT:

Oh, and just to spread out the seasonal joy, the Wall Street gang, in cooperation with the republicorp and democorp gangs, to go ahead and let those Obamacare tax hikes come in right on schedule with much hoopla and wailing about how bad they are, while their hands are deeper in the cookie jar than anyone else – they created the bubbles of Bush and let’s not start on Reagan’s legacy of debt.

Depressions are painful – and former Reagan budget boss David Stockman says the republicorp talk about tax cuts is silly. I’d offer to Stockman, the Fed, and anyone else interested, that delaying the medicine could kill the patient; sound money and smaller government, with a population working less and holding out for a better quality of life’s what’s needed.

Yes, boys and girls, economic depressions really are painful – but the biggest pain of all is crooked leaders who won’t point out the true facts of the matter which is why you’ll soon be working harder, paying more, and getting less: The second Depression is here and the point of a barrage of government statistics is to keep you comparing apples to zeros, not apples to hunger and hours worked.

As long as enough people are locked in zero thinking, the grand charade and accelerating accretion of wealth to the top 5% will continue as the expense of what was once-upon-a-time a middle class.
