Exactly Who Are They Trying To Kid?

Sunday, 4 Falltring 2005

Hurricane Katrina could slow US economic expansion. It's almost as though the corpo-weasels are so desperately trying to spin the blame for the crappy economy anywhere but in their greedy hands. Which is not much of a stretch when you consider that those hands have been constantly looting the economy and openly stuffing the money into the rich's pockets for over twenty five years now.

It also seems to us that there hasn't been much of an economic expansion of late. We haven't heard much of anything about the record numbers of discouraged workers* in the infotainment feeds from the media whores. And we haven't seen any increase in the consumer's buying power for some time - rather the bite being taken out at the pumps is driving some to distraction. Especially when they see it, for all intensive purposes, being funneled into the vaults of the executroids at the top of the oil processing pyramid.

Read the article. Look at the rest of the spin, and decide for yourselves. Then think about trying to do something about it, and tell us what you think in the comments to this post.

* - people who aren't counted in any of the unemployment figures any more because they have run out of employment benefits, yet still cannot find a job. They must be lazy (cough) or something...
