That gives me an idea. I think a new disorder needs to be created.
How about: “Lereah Disorder” – The neurotic tendency toward extreme optimism in the face of likely economic, political and social collapse.
The economy/bailout is Obama’s Iraq. An immoral and ill-conceived plan that will be supported to the bitter end by partisan dupes in the face of overwhelming evidence that it is not in their best interest.
It’s a very simple two step plan
1: Keep home prices high by any means necessary for as long as necessary
2: Transfer trillions in “bets” made by a small handful of private individuals to the public
Perception is reality. Until the whole thing collapses.
By then, all that private debt will have been transferred to the average Joe taxpayer and the bad guys will have gotten while the getting was good. This is an old script, updated for 21st Century man with his iPods, blackberries and Prozac.
