It isn’t unexpected for those of us who understand Marxist economics.

It’s as predictable as a slow train wreck.

What’s been fixed? Debt? Banking and finance? Government corruption? America’s budget? Health care?

It has all been worsened under Obama & Co.

The one mistake we can make is to simply blame Obama. Publicly and for the election, blame him all the way, but we must never forget that there is a cadre of academics, media, government bureaucrats and the recipients of our country’s largesse playing the Pied Piper and leading us down to a road paved with ‘good intentions’.

Been noticing that the horrible data being released (and these numbers are horrible) is no longer including the media justifications (weather, Holidays, etc). Have they run out of excuses?

Unexpected!

Drink!

One upside, how’s Obama going to blame George Bush? The economy was rebounding, Obama said so.

What’s the narrative now?

Their intentions are not good in the least.

Washington has yet to grasp that it has become the problem...rather than the solution to issues relevant to the states.
