Beau Tackles the Economy

Those of you who remember my old blog, the LawWench, remember Beau's take on the elections. Well, Beau is back to discuss with us the current economic crisis. As you can see, he doesn't look very optimistic about the current administration's economic policies.

Folly: So Beau, what's this chart supposed to represent?

Beau: Our lives. No. Seriously. See that part that looks like a mountain?

F: Yes.

B: That was the end of the Bush era. Sure things were bouncing around but it wasn't a complete disaster. Most of us had jobs, houses, and whatnot.

F: Okay. What's that big drop?

B: The Obama Administration's policies. Made everything nosedive right into the toilet.

F: Okay, then why does it say January 2008?

B: Because my owner doesn't know what damn year it is. I said, "2009, you idiot, 2009," and he writes, "2008." Yeesh. So hard to find good help these days.

F: So is it just one policy of the Obama Administration that's messing everything up?

B: Nah, it's the whole enchilada. I mean, he mouths about how we're heading for a depression and we need to act now and blah, blah, blah. What do you think the market does when they hear, "Mr. Hopey Changy" talking like he's the captain of the Titanic?

F: Sell off like it's 1929?

B: Exactly. Then his idiotic Treasury Secretary starts mouthing about how he's open to the Commie's idea of a one world currency and how they need to have the authority to seize any business they see fit. When did we move to Stalinist Russia?

F: Good question, Beau. It all began with the 51% of the country voting him into office.

B: 51% of the country is nuts.

F: So what's your overall take of the economy, Beau? Is this the bottom? What can people do to ride through these tough times.

B: Hold on, sister, one question at a time.

F: I'm sorry.

B: No problem. First, the economy sucks and this administration has no idea how to fix it. The problem is that people are expecting him to fix it instead of thinking about how they can fix it. Capiche? Second, I don't know if we can go any lower. I'm not saying it's the bottom but there ain't much further we can go. Third, stuff your mattresses with all your money. Hunker down and take a nap. That's what I'm getting ready to do.

F: Okay, thanks for your time and have a good nap.

B: Anytime.
