Are We Being Lied To?

I started this out as a thesis but then had to stop when I realized it would be over two-thousand words for the introduction only. So I thought I would switch it up and try and find a few truths. Interestingly enough I could find a couple. After telling us all of 2007-2008 there were no market problems the PTB informed us in late 2009-to the present that the world indeed was on the brink of collapse and that all of the extraordiary measures that were taken inspite of many of our protests and in violation of hundreds of legal statutes with hundreds of years of law behind them……were necessary to save us from disaster. Here is where they lose me….Save us from what?? I thought the continual reassurance throughout the stock market and economic collapse of 2007 through 2008 that everything was stabilized was enough. Now I find out that they are coming clean with us over the past year and we were in complete meltdown then. Dr. Bernanke, Secretary Paulson, and cough puke Secretary Timmy now tell us in interviews and sworn testimony that the TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS AND TRILLIONS of dollars that were spent through the ingenious plans of our mad economic scientists WORKED and the extraordinary measures that weren’t really needed in 2008 that really were needed in hindsight in 2011 after careful analysis………did indeed work.

Now I believe them. At least the proof is in the pudding…just look at the stock market. It is after all forward looking. I know that because CNBS tells me that. They told me that in mid 2007 repeatedly as it climbed to new highs. I decided I would try and be even MORE forward looking and shorted the banks in mid 2007 while the market remained forward looking. I think that once again the market is forward looking. I know it is because I am watching housing and jobs. They are continuing to collapse. So I know the market will be right. After all I’m not sure they can do anything but go up. The only trouble is there seems to be some structural impediments that the market and its Pundit Pumping Pukes (PPP) a branch of the PPT….just don’t want to address. THERE IS NO FOCHING INDUSTRY HERE ANYMORE. So who is going to create all of these future jobs. Oh….WAIT! I know. Sbarros will. They are restructuring and have a new feature that will hire thousands…..Alpo pizza. They say you can’t get enough.

I guess if you print Trillions in IOU’s and put it into the biggest banks and deepest pockets its not hard to afford some paint for a ticker each day. So if this is Ben’s idea of front running the economy then I guess I’m all in. Heck I just talked to a guy driving a rig at a truck stop a couple of hours and he was bullish on the market. He said if he could sell his wife at the next stop he might be able to fill his tank to get him home in time to go long after the morning’s job report.

Personally I am all in favor of austerity here and balancing the budget here. Like most sheep lets cut the hell out of Pell Grants, Medicaid for children, Head Start, PBS, and Privatize Social Security(the Bankers have their eye on that money for years) I say we can squeeze maybe one percent out of those first four. Throw those women and kids to the curb…. And if you want some bang for your bucks…turn Social Security over to Wall Street…

Now we are in recovery so enjoy. Raise interest rates??? Stop QE??? Wow! I guess they really think this stock market IS the economy. Something tells me they know better. Are they telling the “truth” again?
