10. Lessons HAVE been learned, but "they" learned them in the previous Financial Crisis.

They used those lessons,
and have done even better this time!

Worthy of note:
This most recent "Crisis" was perfectly timed to strike during the Change Over of Administrations in late 2007,
lending Plausible Deniability to BOTH Political Parties.

They have this "Jobless Recovery" scam Down Pat!
They know exactly what to do.
Works every time!

THIS ^ does NOT happen by accident.
It is the result of carefully planned and implemented Economic Policy.
It requires careful preparation, marketing, buying the right politicians, message control, courts packed with Conservative Corporate Rights Judges, and the marginalization and suppression of any opposition.

And THEY are STILL LEARNING!
This time around, we were presented with the most beautifully crafted piece of [font size=3]Political Scamsmanship[/font] I've ever seen.They called it "The Sequester",
and it is working beautifully!

No politician from either Political Party has to face the voters back home and say he voted to CUT the Social Programs the majority of his/her constituents depend upon.
"I didn't cut those programs!
The SEQUESTER cut those programs!"


There is that plausible Deniability again.
Nobody claims they WANTED The Sequester.
America certainly didn't want it,
but HERE it IS!
and Both Parties get to blame the other.
Now that is an awesome piece of Scamsmanship!!!



MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
