EPIC/FAIL ‘08: “We don’t make the financial collapses, we make the laws that make them inevitable.”
This financial collapse was a long time coming. Democrats share some responsibility. Most either supported or surrendered quietly to the GOP’s obsessive-compulsive deregulation over the last 25 years.
But while the Democrats may have acted like lazy safety inspectors, the Republicans were the bastards who actually built this structurally fucked economic shitscraper. And its epic failure isn’t the accidental result some careless mistake or miscalculation during construction. These ass-clowns perfectly executed what was spelled out in their economic blueprints.
The plans came courtesy of the policy architects at conservative think tanks whose hackneyed design philosophy is based almost exclusively on the following two beliefs: “The stock market crash of 1929 and resulting depression were a result of too much government interference” and “We could have won the Vietnam War.”
Unprovable? Pointless? Retarded? Sure. But they didn’t set out to win some lame hypothetical argument. That’s not real victory. No, these dickhammers actually set out to recreate the same circumstances in order to claim absolute philosophical victory via historical do-over.
Instead— with the epic failures of Iraq and deregulation— they’ve only succeeded in proving that they were dead fucking wrong the first time.
