Don’t read this [1]if you want to sleep well tonight. Stay away from the comments too. People would be swarming in the streets with pitchforks and torches tonight, except that so many of us are afflicted with innumeracy and because we are so easily distractible. How many of us have spent more time studying the economy in the last year than we’ve spent A) watching sports on TV, B) reading newspaper comics or C) [fill in the blank with any idle activity]?
How can it possibly be that we are committing these sums of money without a reliable accounting being presented to the American public for where all of that money is really going? I don’t know any more than anyone else who tries to keep up with the news, but I can guarantee this: There are hundreds of billions of dollars worth of fraud being committed on the American people, as evidence by the lack of forthright information about where that money is really going. Sunshine is a great disinfectant, and we don’t have any sunshine these days. That’s how we’re capping off eight years of darkness.
There are many days when I fear that it’s too late for Obama (or anyone else) to salvage any semblance of the American standard of living.
