Did Jesse really compare tax rat cuts to the fed printing money? What did I miss?

I’m quite enjoying the “Green Shoots and Leaves” multi year series on economic devastation you’ve started here at Mitchieville. Clearly you’ve no end to the material headed our way. It’s like secret santa to me. I never know who is going to be dropping off some new news of millions of new homeless or trillions of dollars spent propping up corporations that should have been let to fail. It seems this fall is going to bring new meaning to “fall” in the way of all those other mortgages awaiting rate adjustments… I don’t have the bumper sticker “Miss Me Yet” with smiling father figure like George Bush, but I do miss him. Lots.
I bing/google things like, “who will fail next” and “where will the next big killing spree begin” and sometimes the results are startling. I see names I recognize, faces I know, places I’ve been. Well I’m going to wrap up by noting that your vast army toiling the trenches for market devastation is the bees knees. Some days it’s the only reason I wake up before noon.
Anyway Mayor, I’m just glad someone’s on top of all this mayhem, thanks for being there for us, thanks for coming out.

Thanks Marc. I said this to Wolfie before, but I’m ont actually trying to freak anyone out with my links, and I’m not trying to engage in anything conspiratorial, but as you said, there’s no end to the material headed our way.
There’s only two ways to look at things coming our way: things are getting better ike what you will read and hear at msnbc, cnn, and other state-controlled media outlets, or, things are getting much worse so ya better buy bread and bullets.
