Economic Orgasm At Last?

Jul 10, 2011, 12:38 AM

The collapse of the “Big Bang” debt negotiation means the fate of the unemployed is now in the hands of the free market: those mysterious entrepreneurial job-creators who’ve been waiting for that golden moment…

Well here it is! Government continues to shrink (another 36,000 government jobs disappeared last month), taxes will not be raised, the Fed will not be buying any more government bonds, there is no new federal stimulus on the way, and millions of skilled people are non-unionized and ready to work for loose change.

And best of all, the federal government is on the verge of a default that will put a stake clean through its hideous socialist heart!

What are you job-creators waiting for? This is like Free-Market Cialis! We’re in side-by-side bathtubs, the incense is lit, we’re ready to be ravished! Don’t you love us anymore? Did we get you too drunk?

Should we…huh? What’s that?

You want us to dress as desperate Chinese factory workers? We LOVE that game! We’ll just be a minute…

Ross: Voters weren’t just voting for change, they were voting for a hormone
