Day 53. Happy days are here again

About a month ago, just before the Trichinosis Package was passed, we were in a 'crisis' and a 'catastrophe' was looming. It was 'urgent'. Today March 13th, 2009. It is 'not as bad as we think'. From this article...

"I don't think things are ever as good as they say, or ever as bad as they say," Obama added. "Things two years ago were not as good as we thought because there were a lot of underlying weaknesses in the economy. They're not as bad as we think they are now."

So this is the program we are on:

• Claim the sky is falling
• Spend a lot of money that you don't have to hold the sky up
• Correct yourself and say it was only a raindrop coming down to help the flowers grow
• Figure you just saved your 2nd term as president

Now with this program, you are not supposed to look at your 401k statements or read here that about 45% of the world's wealth has vanished. Just look at the pretty flowers. Mmmm, pretty...

Funny thing is, China is not even buying the spin.
