President Obama is Doing a Swell Job
That’s right. Given what he has to work with, President Obama is doing a swell job. Swell! We, the Americano people are what he has to work with. Yes. President Obama has the Americano people, plus our common sense versus our opinions going for him. Yikes!
Naturally, with a depression fixing to loom up just as soon as Planet Earth heads a little further out into the stygian darkness of outer space, the main thing President Obama is doing a swell job of is fixing the economy. That’s right. President Obama, like many of the Democratic presidents before him, is supposed to fix the economy versus fuck it up, the traditional responsibility of the other party.
When many of the old people still living today were mere babies, garbed in swaddling clothes, lying in mangers, there was an opinion that rose to the status of a saying. What was that saying? Easy, that saying was: When the democrats are in, we have a war. When the republicans are in, we have a depression.
Hmmm. Looking back, it might seem that the collective experience that promulgated that old saying might have been the collective experience of just one or two democratic and republican administrations. But that’s OK. The system is not that old. Back then, the system was even younger. You have to begin some time with those type sayings. Right?
Economics though is a fairly mysterious social science. That’s correct. Apparently you have to take a bunch of the economic opinions on faith to understand how economics actually works. For example, many believe the market regulates itself. The market regulates itself. That’s worth repeating. The market regulates itself.
The Easter Bunny produces a shelled amniote egg. The Easter Bunny produces a shelled amniote egg. The Easter Bunny produces a shelled amniote egg.
Since the market regulates itself and the Easter Bunny produces a shelled amniote egg, all President Obama needs to do is stimulate the Bejesus out of the economy with deficit spending on anything under the Sun including the continuing colonial operations in miserable Iraq and Afghanistan. Any sort of government spending will eventually stimulate the economy to regulate itself, much like Metamucil stimulates me to regulate myself. Then, once the deficit spending takes effect, we shall be free of depression.
Yes. Government spending has always worked and shall continue to always work, sparing us perpetual economic doldrums, for so long as we enjoy a self-regulating free market in which everyone is willing to wholly subsidize the antics of the rich. Correct. All of us subsidize the antics of the rich. It is the price we pay so everyone may enjoy a self-regulating free market. Give Bernie Madoff a hundred dollars, and let him go.
A question that has troubled my noggin recently though is: Do the rich, trust, one another? Apparently they do. Perhaps trust is what separates the rich from the downtrodden and miserable. Like I bet if you put two rich guys in a room with like a million jewels, and one of the rich guys says, Excuse me, I need to go see Ms. Murphy. Then the rich guy who is left alone with all those jewels, just spends his time casually examining a few of the jewels until the other rich guy gets back from visiting Ms. Murphy. That’s right. He would never spend his time alone with the jewels, stuffing those jewels up his anus. That’s because he trusts that when the other rich guy returns, they shall come up with an amicable arrangement regarding the jewels.
Hmmm. Maybe the parable of the two rich guys with the jewels is another example of how the free market may regulate itself.
