Fed Chief Wants More StimulationPosted on Oct 20, 2008
Ben Bernanke doesn’t really care if you call it a recession or, in his words, “a very serious slowdown in the economy.” Whatever it is, the chairman of the Federal Reserve thinks a new stimulus package is needed to get those terrified Americans dipping into their mattresses and buying things again.

I have taken all my money out of my mattress, the springs are like new so I sleep better without the lumps. Since our money is not worth the paper it is printed on, I bought a truck load of Twinkes, they last for fifteen years and I can barter them for subsistence items. Things I cannot make or produce or grow myself, like hair spray or eco friendly shoes of course coffee beans. I tried growing french roast coffee beans, the darn things just will not grow.

Spend less, produce more! America needs new businesses, startups and incentives for entrepreneurs who will create jobs. Working people spend money.

It appears that this administration knows that the nation is bankrupt, and it matters not what happens now. “This sucker is goin’ down” They now will transfer money they don’t have to their friends, allow the coming disaster, and do it quickly before a new administration, GOP or DEM can get congressional hearings, and attempt to address the real problems. What is happening now is criminal, not even in our worse dreams did we believe anyone would attempt this blatant a destruction of the American nation. For our grandchildren’s sake, put further action on hold, until the new administration takes over.

If Bernanke wants stimulation, could someone please send him a gift certificate to his local adult store.
There’s one caveat his toy must be Made in America.
