Crying Babies And Chained CPI

When legend overtakes history, print the legend.

 Here it comes. Cult45 knows it has nothing but "the Trump economy" to run on. They also know that there's no good news in a soaring Dow Jones average that benefits only those at the top.

 So what do you do when you can't get the numbers to add up the way you need them to add up? Just apply a slight variation to Daddy State Awareness rules 4 & 5:
  • Change the meaning of words
  • Change history
They're changing the numbers. When your policies are bust and you become desperate to placate the rubes, just pretend those policies are working.

 Too many people living in poverty? All you have to do is redefine the Poverty Threshold, and presto-change-o poof - "Millions of Americans lifted out of poverty by the awesomely awesome awesomeness of President Trump's enormous and powerful and tremendously manly manhood grabbing the economy by the pussy and blah blah blah".

 "And oh yeah - BTW - if it's not working for you, then it's your own fault - fuckin' loser."

 Beau Of The Fifth Column - Justin King:

  • 48% of Americans say they can't find jobs that pay a living wage.
  • 42% say they're not keeping up with their credit card payments
  • 137 million struggle with healthcare costs
  • 80% say they're living paycheck-to-paycheck, and a $400 emergency would be catastrophic.

 The Yakov Smirnoff Event Horizon is fast approaching:

We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us.
