IMF warns on U.S. economy

[chervilant]

2. Ahhhh, the niceties of propaganda...

Do you suspect that we're not hearing the truth about our global economic crisis? Do you recall that, until the collapse of the Knickerbocker Trust, economists and politicians called economic downturns "Panics"? We don't use such inflammatory language these days, do we?

I think the paternalistic and greedy hedonists who've tanked the global economy are 'walking on eggshells' in their efforts to prevent the Hoi Polloi from panicking about the ongoing socio-economic catastrophe threatening our entire species. Even as they struggle to restore some semblance of stability, they are primarily interested in maintaining and solidifying their hegemony.

IMHO, this 'economic downturn' promises to span at least the next two decades--if it doesn't end abruptly with a global collapse.
