Ben Bernanke, You Lying Bastard!

This is from the NYTimes. The dismal jobs report in February, where the labor market has lost non-farm jobs for two consecutive months basically heralds the recession that everyone is talking about. What say you, Ben Bernanke? Are you still gonna make it rain with them rebates and shit?

Excerpt:

And if the good times have really ended, they were never that good to begin with. Most American households are still not earning as much annually as they did in 1999, once inflation is taken into account. Since the Census Bureau began keeping records in the 1960s, a prolonged expansion has never ended without household income having set a new record.

Damn this shitty economy. I guess I'll be stuck in the Salt Mine for a while longer. So Benny Boy is now telling us that the shit has yet to hit the fan. I hope his boss knows about this, because last time I checked, he was promising a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.

And while all this is happening, our buddies in OPEC are telling us to fuck off. And with Americans complaining about the price of gas now, do we still want to declare war on Iran? Yea, that's what I thought. Come back to me when you guys are willing to pay for $6 a gallon for gas.
