Weekly Warning Words

     Is there anything economical in our economy? Is there any good reason for sharing the insane prognostication of our commandeering master of business administration from Crawford & Midland in that confederacy of untruths?

     Our treasured ex-secretary, O'Neill, gave a few warning shots across that bug bow before he had to resign. The chairman of the Reserved Federal System warned the freebooting of his President many times not to overdo his wasting of wealth on the wealthy before he, too, succumbed to intimidations mixed with charming lies. But while this Bush is no great communicator, lie in-spires a homebrew gang of radical extortionists that get, courtesy of their government, all there is left of our economy, our inventive spirit, our productivity & our former honor. Is there anything left of our once admirable economy?

     Bush's lying statisticians come up with wonderful figures from the magic puzzles of great actuarians who always hear, but deny, the ringing of funeral church bells.

     After his whole-"hearted" support of millions in forecast tax forgiveness for the wealthy, he lost almost 3 million jobs. Now he lies about having regained more than half of them.

      True is that a million unemployed, untrained workers could be placed in low-pay homeland security imaginations. Bush also got his rewards for causing a savage national disease which needs another million of lowly members of his health industry. Another million joined the army of the disgusted, alienated non-reporters for expired unemployment insurance pay.

     Yet, there are always the dreamful ad-mirers of the Texas executioner. Those who keep hoping for relief, spent already all they ever earned, saved & all their credit too. With redemption for them, they will eventually seek recourse as beneficiaries of chapter 11. As Bush supporters, they expect to find a friendly judge who forgives all accumulated debts. Then they can move to another state of our disunion & start again this borrowing game to capacity, to incapacity, while praising their Führer.

     Of course, the few million haves who got a huge tax relief, courtesy of Bush & his convenience-store Congress, could throw part of their trillions into the general cash registers by buying at home for the sake of homeland security. They may - they may-be able to restart some closed manufacturing enterprise if they are sure of the required overproductivity of their "lucky" workers who need 2 jobs to move away from bankruptcy.

     And surely, there are the profiteers from misery, shame & good luck who don't want to spend all their loot abroad. They don't invest their own money in a 2nd or 3rd home as long as they can get low-interest loans. They like their dependency on Bush's generosity for the ones who don't need it. So they will vote for the greater evil to take full advantage of our dependence on Arab, German, Japanese & other loan sharks. All our bandits are soulless, heartless endebtors of our next few generations while the great American Experiment goes to the dogs & the deadly guilt of our topdog.

     Happy - holiday spending that will start before Labor Day will delay the ultimate catastrophe. His triumphant successor & many after him, or her, who will have to try the most frugal budgeteering & heinous cutting of any surviving safety net for the barely surviving piously challenged health-handicapped.
