BO Panics?

What if The Package fails! Why should it?
At last viewing, [TV] the senate [the US alt’ Firmian] had blocked it and reduced it to $780,000,000,000 [And no, these are not Rumbabwean dollars.] By my reckoning the US debt is now calculatedly at plus minus $2.100,000,000,000,000 [Two thousand one hundred trillion dollars]. The US last year earned about 13,000,000,000,000. [Thirteen trillion dollars.]
The Senate blocked the provision presumably because someone started doing their maths and remebeering their history books. Firstly there was a sneaky protectionist provision ‘porked’ in by some lurkish Democrat no doubt., and secondly because, one imagines, of two much such ‘pork.’ The record is blurry on our side of the planet on exactly how much of the now assaulted bail out pack was linked to either. Does it matter?

Mr Obama didn’t get a honeymoon.

Did the people who wanted the protectionist provision [linked to giving inefficient American/Firmian steel manufacturers a preferential right of sale in all preferred projects thereby representing an onerous cost-raising burden on steel users] included understand the inevitable outcome.

Given what we now officially know about the 1930’s and the sudden hint we are getting that what we heard from our grandparents was all true and horrible should we take lightly this chauvinistic behaviour on the part of the President’s Party to ignorantly plunge the world into a global trade war.

Frankly the outcome for the United States would be catastrophic. The outcome for the rest of the world could be immensely beneficial. [It could equally be more than catastrophic.].

Had that single line provision sneaked through the Senate unnoticed, and it almost did reminding us of the observations in Fahrenheit 9/11 [sic] concerning the absence of due diligence with respect to reading the Bills before they became Law. Mr Obama is so filled with enthusiasm for the mission he has to accomplish that he may well have simply signed it into law without having himself noted the destructive potential of that line requiring that all beneficiaries of the largest civic reconstruction project embarked on in a few generations make exclusive use of US produced Steel.

Consider the implications of a global trade war sparked by such a provision. The United States could be excluded from a new “charmed circle” The BRIC countries, we Southern Azanians, plus Europe [Groland] … [and the reluctant Britain/Pomerania ] would be beneficiary of a shift in the world’s focus of power.

That single line reflects the core of the potential disaster that lies in wait for us. The thought is now out. This Democrat government is a natural sucker for protectionist seduction. Protect yourself against the possibility that two years from now the Democrats consolidate their hold on the Senate and put the line back in. Should Mr Obams’s ‘bold plan’ bomb because of the endemic corruption in the United States polity, which it can do, bogging down in obfuscatory bureaucracy. We haven’t noticed, for instance; that New Orleans is booming back into life. At last viewing at still looked like an abandoned city.

No wonder then that Mr Obama’s campaign speech oratory had a hint of more, higher, octaves, and a shriller timbre this week: the merest hint of panic.

Why is he panicking? Should we be panicking? Or should we rather grasp the multilateral opportunity presented by a discredited American performance

I found it repugnant that ‘Phoney Haire’ the former Pomeranian Prime Minister, the person Bob [the Roz]Mugabe, the recently rehabilitated dictator of Rumbabwe, refers to as a “moffie”, and the man who’s profligate attitude helped fuel the now imploded “boom” of the past years, had only this to say this week.

In the face of a global disaster such as that presented by the current Shumperterian- Capitalist-period-of-creative-chaos episode. Phony Haire called for a return to a conjectural entity called God.

Apparently god is not dead as predicted by Mr Nietzsche but is fully represented by Phoney Haire.

Phoney is also chief negotiator of something equally sinecurotic [to coin a word] [sinecure plus sclerotic] for the middle east so called peace talks or whatever.

What impartial role can a Christian fundamentalist with a vested interest in the “raptures’, and the “running of the script” neurosis [the Revelations script if you’re confused] seriously play in such a zero option scenario as that playing out between the jewish state and the Muslim ‘hordes’ surrounding them.

The script cannot play without Armageddon.

The irrational as represented here by a Christian fundamentalist seek Armageddon to achieve their “rapturous” return to whatever deluded meta-reality prevails in the minds of madmen.

With Mr Obama’s panicking and Mr Haire calling on good old god what makes you think that the era of managerial bureaucratic pedantry could really end with Mr Eliot’s whimper?
