Bang the Socialism Drum Loudly

All the job numbers and the debt and deficit totals are too vast for most people to understand. As someone said shortly after Obama launched the bid for his second stimulus package, "These numbers are beyond the ken of most calculators." Job numbers are always heralded and then revised. People dropping out of the job market are no longer considered, so the unemployment rate doesn't reflect reality. Yeah, it's above 8 percent for the umpteenth straight month (on paper) but in reality and for people truly hurting, the jobless rate is FAR higher. Pretty soon people stop listening to the pundits. It's all lies, smoke and mirrors. Like the politicians who pull illegal maids employed by their opponents out of their hats ...

... or other orifices, the stories don't ring false enough to change people's minds into voting against the people who claim to have found the TRUTH about their opponents. That's why (my apologies, USA) Californians sent that pathetic bad-word Barbara Boxer back to DC for another six years. I think the poll numbers (another series of lies) are also false because the samples are skewed to favor the Left. No one asks how I feel. I don't get questioned when I leave the polling place. I do believe we are going to come out of this with a new commander in chief and things will start to turn around. The race baiters and those who think socialism is the answer (because they had socialist teachers) will be unhappy, but I think we'll be okay.

This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but with a whimper
-T.S. Eliot, 1925

I'm not sure how the world will end, but more and more, it looks like the America I was born in could indeed end in a self-induced whimper. The last breath of greatness was forced out of our lifeless body after heading down a path that was always ridiculous but for some reason gathered the adulation of people too young to know better and too old to care anymore.

Of course I'm looking ahead to a possible end of the road that would begin with...
