I believe they are telling the gullible public this line of mumbojumbo to make it sound like they are boldly taking action for a noble cause, with the promise of some crumbs of unearned wealth tossed to the crowd to head off any opposition.

I think they know the game is almost up, and the strategy is to dribble the collapse out long enough to get a majority of people totally dependent on the bureaucracy, so that when the collapse is total the public will demand that the government take care of them by any means necessary (and we know what those means will be).

Even if they believe this Keynesian nonsense, their pragmatism will lead them to this strategy anyway. But I don’t think they believe it. They are moving ahead on multiple fronts simultaneously, setting the stage for the next stage of their revolution. By their actions, we shall know them.

Dear Ms. Mercer,

Let me get this straight. Are you suggesting that Obama is a Clairvius Narcisse and Joe Biden, who apparently OD’d on Bufo marinus, are the experiments of Bokor Soros?

Holy Zeitgebers! This same thought occurred to me last summer.

[Don’t forget Bush and his gang. They have no big ideological arguments with the above. GRIN]

And the market disposes.

Or so goes a saying on Wall Street.

Consumers and businesses all respond to incentives. So far all incentives have been negative: job losses, shrinking balance sheets, etc.

The Voodoo Child’s voodoo economics will just prolong the agony of the economic meltdown.
