Stagflation-no, it’s not a wild party, it’s something that happens and we won’t like it when it does, if it does, if it hasn’t begun already. The rising unemployment, gas prices on the rise, and if they don’t raise the prices in the shops, they make less money while being charged more for wholesale goods-they lay off, they don’t buy that new Mercedes, they don’t take that second vacation, they don’t buy those $150.00 pair of Tennis shoes, they take the cheaper chicken-so what’s wrong with chicken? Anyway, it’s the food chain folks; stagnation.
Shoot from the hip economic policies? I don’t know, maybe they should start another war, this one got us into trouble, hey! let’s ask some of our friends over in the middle east to lower the price of crude oil, I bet they’d be more than happy to help the poor Americans that decided to park themselves permanantly over in Iraq, “just visiting folks, don’t get nervous, we didn’t like the guy you had running things and we just decided that you needed new management, and someday we’ll get around to that too, don’t rush me! But don’t worry. Meanwhile we’ll just help ourselves to your oil, if you don’t mind.”
Uh, oh, now I’m sticking my neck out- there I go again. The one good thing about the war is that we stood behind our troops, they did what they had too, but please, let’s get them back to their families-if we can. A little off topic, but what caused all of this? Was it the trickle down theory? Some say it takes 15 years for the trickle down to work, that’s sort of like evolution-if they can’t explain it they just tack on a few billion years.
Maybe the trickle down theory does work, but you used to make enough money if just the man worked (not infringing on the ladies rights to work here, but follow with me) and sure, at times both had to work, it just seems like that’s obligatory, you both may well have to work, and don’t think that this recession will make that any easier. Please, Mr Bush, sorry, Mr President, don’t trickle on us anymore, please just help us to get good jobs and raise our families, and have freedom again. Still, we really can’t complain here, this is a wonderful place still, and we can’t forget that just because we haven’t poked our nose outside of the U.S. and seen how bad it is all over the place- I’ll take trickle.
Now I’m not trying to lay blame, they say genius skips a generation, why not two? Who knows, maybe they did the whole “make credit easy for everyone” thing and thought we would never have a recession-where no one could pay back their adjustable-rate-loan-on-their-massively-overpriced-home. Hey, it could happen, I mean, if you just close your eyes and spin around before you pin the tail on the economic forecast- lot’s of interesting things can happen; just tell everyone to keep spending-it works! Well, if you believe in that sort of thing anyway.
