the economy

My main point in the song Mr Greenie is the whole idea about this nonsense we keep hearing about how the economy is so important.

If there was no more economy, would food not still grow on the earth? Would there be no air or water (of course poisoned by the byproducts of "the economy"). it's so weird people vote for people on the words "strong economy" and "low taxes"... how one could fall for that bull shit i don't quite know. Apparently if the economy is good we can work 80 hours a week and be just able to afford all of the new consumer products we need to keep our selves "in style" and "happy". One of my main goals in life is to go and live off the land and the grid.

Explain to me now how a government who is apparently all about a free market system, allows hype machines to make people believe bad loans are good loans all the while fleecing the average citizen, home deed owner and consumer. Then when the shit hits the fan as many smart people have been saying for years then the government covers the money that has now apparently disappeared with taxpayer money. So the government is not going to regulate it they are just going to cover the loss.

wouldn't the free market dictate that if that company made a bunch of dumb moves then they should pay the price. What is the price? Can the economy fail? Can you prop up a flawed giant... wont it fall sooner or later if it is really fucked.

Me, i don't really know much about economics. i know i don't like debt so i avoid it at all costs... i work hard and i do without, and as i do without i miss nothing of any significance. i know people who lost a lot on money on Nortel and some who lost on Bri-ex... i have long been predicting the end of this insane real estate climb. and i have feared for people who have no fear... the ones who don't care what it costs because it's the life they want. Does anybody really know what they want?

you think i would be a commune kind of guy with all of this talk, but a commune would never work for me because there would always be a few lazy jackasses who have no shortage of words to explain and re-explain their own predicaments that it would drive me to have an immediate and massive stroke.

I just shake my head that this economy, which is the root of the problem destroying the live ability of the planet (pollution, loss of bio-diversity, global warming...), is so important that after it fleeces the fools who drive it those people pay again to keep it going... and that's all cool.

we define insanity
