A bitch caught a wee bit of morning television today and overheard a financial analyst say that whether or not we go into a recession is in the hands of the American consumer.
It was as if she squat upon my kitchen table and pissed directly into my Corn Flakes!
I understand a recession to be a significant decline in economic growth spread across the economy, lasting more than a little while.
Blink.
But analysts are lighting candles and praying to the gods of greed that people like this bitch will spend like credit don’t come due this holiday season…and some heifer on NBC actually thinks that the holiday spending will hold and help the nation avoid a recession.
Blink once more.
But…cough…ummm, if the economy doesn’t grow, living wage job creation and growth remains shaky and house values fall …frown…isn’t the wise consumer move to not spend?
Mmmhmmm, I knew it! The market doesn’t care…it just wants to grow and grow and grow, eating up working poor people like popcorn!
Think again, television analyst market serving people. This bitch will not be a martyr to the declining gross domestic product!
It is not my fault that the signature American product is the American consumer…
