History Now

.

I won’t pretend I’m an economics major. I won’t pretend I know exactly what is happening and what is going to happen to Wall Street, or how, exactly, we got to this point. I won’t speculate as to why, after years of “the country is in recession” this is the first time I’ve heard anything about why and how it is in recession. I won’t pretend that all those who spoke out about the recession aren’t suddenly eerily quiet. I also won’t pretend that I don’t know it was government interference that may not have pushed it in this direction, that interference, that policy, definitely nudged it toward the wall like Dale Jr. I won’t pretend I don’t see the pattern, and I will definitely not pretend that I’m not reading Atlas Shrugged and it is more than a little creepy—considering.

But I will ask: What the fuck, people? Seriously?
