It aint no double-dip,
it’s a multi-dip: And each dip lowers your living standard
Recessions
end and stuff rebounds but now we lead a group known as the
Undeveloping
Countries
The
MultiNationals behind globalization are herding everyone to a uniform
level of barest subsistence
The
Pakis and such are real good with it, but if you’ve ever known any
better, you aint gonna like it
You’ll
keep paying more and earning less with fewer benefits until we’re
all globally competitive
This
aint no recession: This here is a permanent fall from the artificial
economic grace we once knew
And
all the politicians demanding God Bless America after every
speech aint gonna change it one bit
It
wont be so bad, your kids have already adjusted their expectations by
becoming mumbling slackers
We
can probably start a patronage system for plum government jobs - like
they used to have in India
But
be careful of going in debt for overpriced education with the real
prospect of never finding a job
Drop
the cherished myth that your kids futures are always brighter than
your own…It just aint so Bud!
Get
ready to take on a real tax burden and simply forget about then
promised entitlement programs
Just
save some memories of the good old days for your grandkids –
They’ll know you’ve finally lost it
We’ll
read of a ponzi 3% GDP growth, but it’ll be swallowed by
deliberately underestimated inflation
Get
used to failing bridges, unstable power grids and a degrading
environment – It’s all we can afford
But,
wait: Gutlessly sociopathic, closet corporate leaders will get
even richer, successful or not
For
this aint even a depression, it’s just the New Normal: Work more,
get less, pay more, die younger
Forget
about cruise vacations, new cars, faux mansions and such treats –
That’s so like 20th Century
Deal
with it – You’re downsized permanently, you got no savings and
your Medicare is going away
This
aint no recession but rather living the new reality of being
undeveloping former firstworlders
Them
greedy foreigners aint gonna finance your home equity loans and
credit cards no-mo, no suh
Arent
no jumpstarts, quick fixes or kickstarts gonna get you a job or stop
the middle class shrinking
You
can safely default on all your loans and cards cause you aint gonna
get no more credit anyway
You’ll
laugh at the crap about finance, realestate and consumers being the
engines of our prosperity
Look,
we won’t tax-and-spend or budget-slash and de-regulate our way from
under this just decay
Oh,
and dont get any attitude or you’ll be quickly culled from the
hundreds of applicants per bad job
But
dont worry, they wont stop subsidizing creating of your diabetes,
hypertension and heart disease
And
theyll keep making the jobs worse so you wont take them, but their
disposable illegales still will
This
aint no business cycle, the good jobs aint comin back and thats
Alabama not Whateverstan on TV
But
you can still pledge your fictional soul as collateral in their
imaginary-paradise-for-nothing scam
The
population’s too large and cheap resources are too depleted to
power more extractive prosperity
This
decaying and antiquated infrastructure is still good enough for any
rapidly undeveloping country
The
elite will keep flying overhead, driving by with their windows up and
living under tighter security
They'll
keep media puppets pumping crap about how freeing markets could solve
all of your problems
And,
oh darn, they cant hire you now cause you been out of work too long,
not cause you’re too old…
This
aint no downturn, this is a nosedive: into the infectious dirt of an
ignorant and 3rd world future
Its
OK, your kids will accept the benefitless, peasant wages of a
globalized world in economic flatline
