2008 Reverie

In 2008 my wife and I did something we had never done before.

We canvassed for a presidential candidate.

For Obama.

And he won.

The Presidency.

We were in the streets with all of them.

That night.

We thought all things had changed.

We thought, his winning the caucus in Iowa gave him license to propose a refurbishment of the New Deal.

And when he subsequently won the presidency, we thought that that was a national endorsement.

Of refurbishment.

We thought that America was back.

We soon discovered the opposite: she had exited the stage.

After all, it's hard to reverse forty years.

And those bankers really needed a taxpayer contribution.

Of eight hundred billion.

Dollars.

That was big money back then.

in 2009.

Hardly buy a trillionaire's boat, these days.

So, we got donnie.

I guess that's why.

So far, he's up billions.

He's working on trillions.

Even morons can smell trillions.

Probably need to wait for Baron.

How fucking stupid are we?

PRETTY STUPID.

MORE AT DUMB IS DUMB; STUPID AND EVEN DUMBER.
