Despite the fact that he’s part of the Obama administration, I always had respect for Larry Summers. I always thought he was pretty damn bright, and I supported him 100 percent when frothing feminist fuckbags forced him out of Harvard because he had the gall to suggest that women’s underrepresentation in tenured positions in engineering and sciences at top research institutions may be due to different abilities. While I’m not a researcher or a scientist, I do see that women tend to have a bigger aptitude toward social sciences, history, writing, etc. than math and science. But hey, that’s beside the point.
I always thought Summers had to have been pretty bright. After all, he was the president of Harvard, he’s the Director of the National Economic Council, and he’s a former Treasury Secretary.
So where the hell did THIS come from?
Of all the statistics pouring into the White House every day, top
economic adviser Larry Summers highlighted one Friday to make his case
that the economic free-fall has ended.
The number of people searching for the term “economic depression” on Google is down to normal levels, Summers said.
Searches for the term were up four-fold when the recession deepened in
the earlier part of the year, and the recent shift goes to show
consumer confidence is higher, Summers told the Peterson Institute for
International Economics.
Let me get this straight. One of the nation’s top economists claims that the Marxist policies of the Magic Unicorn must be working because Google searches for the words “economic depression” have declined?
Never mind the double digit unemployment!
Never mind the projected 2.6 economic contraction this year!
Never mind declining domestic demand, tight credit conditions and the ailing housing market!
Google searches for the term “economic depression” are down, so we’re just fine!
Maybe Google searches are down because people are so poor they can no longer afford to pay for their Internet connections and had to sell their computers to pay for groceries. Hey, that idea is about as stupid as the attempt to paint Obama’s miserable socialist failures as economic success!

truth never carries the weight that does perception. Ergo, if he can make people believe that crap, even if they starve, they will think it is just their bad luck and Obamanomics is working and they will vote for more of the same, while awaiting their turn for the ride on the economic engine.

That’s exactly how it was done in Animal Farm – just keep telling the animals they’re well off the more they are starving and poor, and they are so stupid they believe it despite their empty bellies and poor conditions. And vice versa. It’s the way it’s done in real life too – as Animal Farm wasn’t merely a story, but was of course based on the experience of Orwell who had lived under communism and knew how it operated.
