Our gutless politicians and the "Barons of Greed" (Wall Street styled Banking and Investment Firms) need to tell the American people the truth and end the deception. This so-called 700 billion dollar bail out is just another gimmick.In fact, it is the lastest political and economic gimmick the political and financial establishment have tossed our way. The American political and financial establishments have been feeding the American people a steady diet of lies for so many years, lies seem like the truth and the truth seem like lies.
The "Big Lie" #1 is the American economy is not in trouble. The American economy has been in trouble for years. The reason why it does not seem so dire is because fully two-thirds of this economy is based on consumer spending. When the American public stops shopping til they drop the economy heads downward.
For years the nation managed to survive because the rest of the world was still recovering from the financail devastation of World War II. Germany, France, England, Japan, China, Korea, Italy, the rest of Europe and the remaining nations that were impacted by European madnes have fully recovered. America's wars have largely kept the nation's economy humming over the past few years.
The "Big Lie" #2 is the global economy has been beneficial to this country. America has enjoyed a low birth rate for a number of years and so has Europe and England. This low birth rate gives our financial and political establishment the illusion that plenty of jobs are available stateside. This insane belief that the economy is growing enough to accomodate the increasing demand for employment has led many American companies to ship jobs and factories overseas. They believe the myth and lie this will make American products more competitive. Nothing is farther from the truth.
The "Big Lie" #3 is the fundamentals of the economy are strong. "Doggie Poop". The fundamentals of our economy have never been weaker. Our steadily weakening economy will eventually collapse the world's stock markets . The reason: America is the dumping ground for the world's gizmos, gadgets and illegal drugs. No other country on this planet has over 250 million thoroughly conditioned "limp-brained" consumers.
The "Big Lie" #4 is China will eventually open its huge population base to American products. Another pile of "Doggie Poop". China is simply waiting us out and our greedy short-sighted financial and political leadership. In the end, China will win the test of wills. China is now the manufacturing center of the planet and they are not going to give up their new found status easily.
The "Big Lie" #5 is education will save us. This would be true if America were the only country on the planet. The America that help win World War I and World II no longer exist. The American population that built this country is virtually extinct. What remains are millions of light headed, educated, functional dimwits that really believe because they are articulate, can think a little bit and have college degrees that they are intelligent. The entire world already knows the average American is an idiot.
The "Big Lie" #6 is the American Spirit will pull us through this. Where is my "Doggie Pooper Scooper"? It's beginning to pile up all over this post. Whatever American Spirit that existed when Bill Clinton became President was throughly destroyed by the time he left office. Whenever a politician says, "I trust the American people", find the nearest commode and regurgitate your food in it. Whatever politician or political leader that repeats this lie, already knows if the American people could really be trusted, he/she would have been voted out of office years before. If our voting public really could be trusted, Washington DC would be empty and the vast majority of our state and local legislators would be in jail for graft and corruption. It's precisely because the voting public cannot be trusted is the primary reason why our political and financial establishment is the way it is and the country is in the sorry shape it is in.
The "Big Lie" #7, this government proposed "Bail Out Plan" will prevent an economic meltdown. Let's just say this, the day of reckoning will be postponed, but not prevented. This post is not big enough to examine over 200 years of lies spewed from the mouths of our political establishment. If you are one of the intelligent Americans left in the country, you will quickly and easily add to this list of lies.
