Bernanke and his international bankster buddies keep talking about “economic recovery” being just around the bend. By “bend” I think they’re referring to a cow’s duodenum. It has to be that because everything they say is bullshit.
Having several hundred thousand people out of work and saying we’re recovering is like someone cutting off your legs and keeping them alive somehow. You can see them from time to time. You know they’re out there somewhere. But no one will reattach them.
Your body…what’s left of it…starts to heal. You start physical therapy. You start comparison shopping wheelchairs. You look into hand-control autos. Sometime later the door to your room opens and the surgeon hands you a copy of Runner’s Weekly and tells you, with a straight face, that you are well on the way to a full recovery.
Yeah you can live without those legs the butcher is trying to get you to ignore and by the same sick, twisted theory the economy can shamble along without those people working and participating in it. The truth is you’re no longer whole, and neither is the economy. The notion of a double amputee making a full recovery as if she can still walk is the grossest fiction and so is recovering from this recession, disregarding enough people to fill a rather sizable city who are no longer working.
