In Japan, they advise selling children to work on farms for 30,000 a piece. It’s a good deal.

Oh but you forgot the advice to abort the children because they are really just blobs of tissue and frankly, who would really want to bring children into this sad, scary story.
That’s an elephant in the room of this story.

The thing about this story is that even Americans now can declare bankruptcy. But they won’t be able to once the Left enforces federal loans over everbody, where you have to buy what they tell you to buy. The education loans are already like this. Slippery slope? No, it’s already here. There’s no slope. We’re already in the hell pit where SWAT comes by and breaks down doors because you refused to pay your college loans.

Sadie, I think Eric Holder very well understood cause and effect when he told Americans to sell guns to Mexican drug cartels on pain of closing down said gun owner’s shop.

They knew what would happen when they released their political enemy’s divorce records too.

The Left absolutely knows that A causes B. It’s not foolishness or stupidity or “incompetence” as people like to tell themselves. They cast blame on others because that’s just to get rid of the blame on themselves. They do so because when given a choice between plenty for everyone and a huge bank account only for themselves, they chose the evil option.

I doubt the lesson worked. We are still suffering from an economy that went downhill because households did the type of spending you describe. It doesn’t make any difference that “big banks” helped them do it. The people doing this type of spending are still blaming their problems on everything except themselves. They’ll do the same with government spending.

Nicely said, Lulu. Unfortunately, the concept of “cause and effect” eludes liberals. They will continue to cast blame elsewhere, anywhere and on anyone but themselves. They’re proud owners of the “magic mirror” on the wall.

The sad thing is women like in the parable don’t often remarry responsible, upstanding, smart men. She will remarry one much like the first. She will fall for it all over again.

In fairy tale land the princess has to kiss a frog to get a prince. I don’t think the libs know a frog from a toad and we are on Mr. Toad’s wild ride are we not?

Connecting cause and effect, always a tricky matter for products of American education, seems at this point well beyond most of us. I don’t mean to be unfriendly or anything, but based on the evidence your recent interlocutors are neither bright nor educated.

Beautifully written, Lulu. I hope Book can coax many more comments from you!

What Danny and Caped said: This is way over liberals’ heads. They will lose interest as soon as it dawns on them that the boyfriend is Obama. Ever had a woman friend who has gotten entangled with a a sweet talking BF? You might as well talk to a wall.

So here’s what happens: 1. The whole Potemkin village collapses and “progressives” experience their first not-so-thrilling kiss with reality and wake up. Doubtful. 2. The whole Potemkin village collapses and the enraged mob comes after white men, Republicans, the rich, conservatives, orthodox Catholics and Jooos to get it all back.

I choose Option 2.
