Spring rally?

[quote=peterb]If one really believes the fundementals of our economy, or the world for that matter, are really about to turn around…then by all means, jump in.
But look around. This is a massive wreck in slow motion because Uncle Sam is going “off-the-hook” to stall the inevitable. These tactics are not creating jobs and productivity to our society. They are strictly stalling tactics….hoping that something will happen to make everything good again. When you figure out what that something is, let us all know.[/quote]

Well said, peterb.

With trillions of dollars going into the FIRE economy, instead of into productive endeavors, how can we expect to see a real recovery?

Our entire economy is now based on smoke and mirrors.

WASHINGTON—After nearly four months of frank, honest, and open dialogue about the failing economy, a weary U.S. populace announced this week that it is once again ready to be lied to about the current state of the financial system.

Tired of hearing the grim truth about their economic future, Americans demanded that the bald-faced lies resume immediately, particularly whenever politicians feel the need to divulge another terrifying problem with Wall Street, the housing market, or any one of a hundred other ticking time bombs everyone was better off not knowing about.

In addition, citizens are requesting that the phrase, “It will only get worse before it gets better,” be permanently replaced with, “Things are going great. Enjoy yourselves.”

“I thought I wanted a new era of transparency and accountability, but honestly, I just can’t handle it,” Ohio resident Nathan Pletcher said. “All I ever hear about now is how my retirement has been pushed back 15 years and how I won’t be able to afford my daughter’s tuition when she grows up.”

“From now on, just tell me the bullshit I want to hear,” Pletcher added. “Tell me my savings are okay, everybody has a job, and we’re No. 1 again. Please, just lie to my face.”

Rt.66 – that was funny. Thanks 🙂

Arraya – give me the antidote for that pill 😉

I liked this part:

“I think we can accommodate the American people on this,” Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) told reporters. “Why, just today we made excellent progress with GM, whose CEO Fritz Henderson told us that every penny of federal and taxpayer funds would go directly to the construction of three new auto plants in Detroit that will create over 90,000 new jobs and spark the economic rebound we’ve been waiting for.”
