Is It Any Wonder the Elites

are partying like it's New Year's Day every day? After all, they are doing better than ever leeching off the backs of everybody else and then sneering at their inferiors for swallowing the propaganda that giving them everything will make THEM rich.

Don't count on economic recovery--ever--if the demand side isn't allowed to have more money to spend.

Of course this is all deliberate. These fuckers WANT a third world country here.

Herbert:

A stark example of the potential for real conflict is being played out in New York City, where the multibillionaire mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has selected a glittering example of the American aristocracy to be the city’s schools chancellor. Cathleen Black, chairwoman of Hearst Magazines, has a reputation as a crackerjack corporate executive but absolutely no background in education.

Ms. Black travels in the rarefied environs of the very rich. Her own children went to private boarding schools. She owns a penthouse on Park Avenue and a $4 million home in Southampton. She was able to loan a $47,600 Bulgari bracelet to a museum for an exhibit showing off the baubles of the city’s most successful women.

Ms. Black will be peering across an almost unbridgeable gap between her and the largely poor and working-class parents and students she will be expected to serve. Worse, Mr. Bloomberg, heralding Ms. Black as a “superstar manager,” has made it clear that because of budget shortfalls she will be focused on managing cutbacks to the school system.

So here we have the billionaire and the millionaire telling the poor and the struggling — the little people — that they will just have to make do with less. You can almost feel the bitterness rising.

These people keep pushing it, it will be off with their heads--literally.
