The toilet attendent Bernanke let's the cat out of the bag

Toilet attendent Ben Bernanke has let the cat out of the bag. Yes, the US is in recession. He kept the open secret under his cap until events in the market place, read subprime meltdown, rising food and fuel prices, inching up unemployment, and the inability of the government to regulate and control an economy which has spun out of control, owing to the rule of laissez faire capitalism more commonly known as free trade and limited, very limited government.
He will do what little he can...he will ride the back of this bull till it throws him off. The crisis is here for a long spell, and neither Bernanke nor his gang of thugs, nor Herr Bush can nor are courageous enough to take bold measure to tame the unbridled, feral horse which is private business. How can they? The private sector calls the tune, and not one is brave enough to be a traitor to this class of thugs and blood suckers and croneys, and stand up for the little man or woman. Ultimately they will either have to institute authoritarian rule or cave in to the rising anger across the land to aid and succour the citizenry.
