(39,909 posts)..... are really doing well,
and have a bright future if they just keep voting for MORE "Free Trade", "Free Markets", and Market Based "Private" For Profit Big Business solutions.
They have "facts" to prove it from [font color=blue]Whitehouse.gov[/font]
The Pundits, Party Spokesmen, Talking Heads, Chamber of Commerce, and Centrist Big Business Democrats tell me that there is a NEW God,
but I can't see him because he is a Giant, All Powerful, Invisible Hand,
and when the private market makes a mistake,
this Giant Invisible Hand reaches down from the heavens,
[font size=3]and CORRECTS the Market ALL BY HIMSELF!!![/font]
There is No NEED for Regulations or Government Intervention to Keep things Fair.
In fact, THAT only makes things WORSE.
The Invisible Hand Knows ALL, and works BEST all by himself,
so we have to be careful NOT to interfere,
or it will Piss Him Off.
Thats WHY our Leadership is working on another BIG "Free Trade" Deal,
[font size=1]but Shhhhhh! He wants to keep it a SECRET so everybody will be surprised,
and the Invisible Hand will be happy!!!
So don't tell anyone.[/font]
Does that sound "funny" to you?
I have a lot of trouble with this Invisible Hand thing.
We've been doing that for 30 years now,
Democrat & Republican,
and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.
Anyway, here is a picture of the altar in this New Church where all of our Political Leaders, Democrat & Republican, all go to worship.
