I know what you are thinking before you say it. Big brother is cooking the books in an effort to take away our liberties, turn capitalism into quasi socialism, take away our gun rights, and slowly disolve our rights to own property. What next you ask? Bar codes on our foreheads tapping into a bank account full of government credits that allow us to trade our goods and services?
I think the current crisis goes much much deeper and darker than even this scenario. I think all of this was put into motion in 1999 by the doomsday Y2k crowd. You know, the guys who bought 12 cases of canned corne, powdered milk, built out underground bunkers, stocked up on amo, beef jerky, and spam. I blame this so-called crisis on them. Why? I call it recovery of investment.
You see, the Y2k crowd spent untold millions on stocking up for the end of the world that did not come and are still reeling from this loss. Besides, who could ever use up 1,685 cases of spam? Also, the Y2k crowd is still reeling from the taunts and jokes of those who did not prepare. Add all of this together and it looks like this.....
spam+humiliation= failure of Freedie Mac = 700billion dollars
Don't question me on this one....math does not lie and it not partial to partisan politics.
The impending financial crisis will shut down the free market. Trees will no longer grow. The sun will no longer shine. A baby seal will be clubbed to death and hundreds, if not thousands of Y2k doomsdayers wil have their sweet revenge along with a spam sandwich. Ha ha ha ha, insert diabolical laugh here.
