You can thank your lucky stars, and the number crunchers, but the recession officially ended June of 2009. Yep, 15 months ago. Let’s all sing a chorus of “Happy Days are Here Again”.
Pay no attention to the fact that the official unemployment number, which by the way is bogus, is right at 10%. Haven’t you heard, it’s a jobless recovery (whatever THAT may mean). Pay no attention to the fact that incomes have lost ground over the past decade. Pay no attention to the fact that prices are increasing at a pretty hefty clip, regardless of the bogus CPI the government trots out to prove otherwise. Yes, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, just keep watching the magic show.
Oh and that national debt thing, don’t worry your pretty little head about that either. At the rate that the Fed is inflating the money supply, it’ll all be “washed away” in the end anyhow. Of course that’s all well and good for the folks holding the debt, but not so good for us folks on down the “money chain” where the effects of the monetary inflation will be felt the worst.
Yes, boys and girls, there’s no fear Wonder Government is here! Why they can take away all that bad stuff and make it all better. Don’t believe me, why just ask them they’ll tell you, and you know it’s the truth because the government SAYS it’s the truth. Just think how much better things are going to be when they are in charge of health care!
Here’s the kicker. It’s our fault. We elected them. We KEEP electing them. We have the government that we deserve.
