Somebody send me a bailout check. I promise to stimulate the economy. Really I will.
Oh hey. Me too. I stimulated the economy like a muthafucka with the last check I got. Soon as it landed in me palms, I up an' bought a couple of new windows. Next check's goin' toward the countertop I just ordered.
The Administration was worried that most people were saving the check instead of spending it. I figure, better spend that piece of paper while its worth something. All this money being shat out the Fed's ass ain't worth shit, and I'm afraid people will start waking up to this sad reality very soon.
When the President signs our death warrant, I mean, the $700,000,000,000 bailout, PLUS the next stimulus check the House Speaker's demanding, well, where's all that money gonna come from?
Do you think the Chinese and Arabs are willing to buy up so much debt, even if the Treasury Dept. promises huge amounts of interest? Not anymore, I think.
Our dollar is the reserve currency of the world ever since WWII. It remained so even after we went off the gold standard and turned over monetary policy to the Federal Reserve in 1971. Why?
Because of faith in the United States. That AAA rating that S&P hands out to only the most reliable economies. I understand that as of today, S&P is considering downgrading the U.S. to a AA rating.
I'm afraid that will fuck us.
So, consider getting rid of your dollars and buying up all kinds of shit. MAx out the credit cards on that vacation to Egypt, empty the kids' college accounts for the new HD home theater, and sign off on that new BMW 630.
Why not? Our government wants us to do exactly what they do. Spend, spend, spend.
