"People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for
merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy
against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices"--Adam
Smith, The Wealth of Nations
We got tired of being lied to by our puffed up leadership. We
began to identify the puffed up leadership in the Saskatchewan
health care environment, and then we took off from there to touch
the many different social and economic problems of the Free Market.
As I learn of the continuing saga of puffed up president George Bush
and of his hypocritical behaviour before and after 9-11, I realize
that the sun continues to come up every morning, and that it is
president Bush that has been changing the world affairs for the
worst as more collateral damage is incurred in Afghanistan and as
the cycle of violence continues to divide people in the Middle East.
We have been covering different social events under the
understanding that our world has become too complex to look for ever
focused or narrow minded solutions for our problems. It is in the
interest of our puffed up leadership that we have focused solutions
rather than solutions for the common good, it is in the interest of
our puffed up leadership that our schools become factories to
produce skilled youth rather than good citizens, it is in the
interest of our puffed up leadership to have a justice system
representing more the interest of the Free Market rather than the
fundamental interest of people's lives.
We can go on and on in describing the social predicament caused
by this puffed up leadership, but the basic understanding is that
the gospel of the Free Market is a puffed up doctrine invented by
our puffed up leadership.
This morning I have been indulging on the term 'puffed up' and
this has occurred as I have been identifying the financial bubbles
of the Free Market as they burst, the bubbles or white lies of our
politicians as they become their criminal charges, the bubbles or
lies of our economists as they defend the Free Market and turn it to
become the BIG LIE. It is time to set out our social priorities for
our own common good and this entails to get away from narrow focused
solutions, that is comparing apples with apples at an infinitesimal
smaller level of our social understanding.
Our common good is being taken away from our puffed up leadership
and it is time to relate apples with oranges. Yesterday, we found
the relationship between No Fault insurance in Saskatchewan and the
No Fault administration of the axis Bush/Cheney; and to day I find
another relationship between another apple and another orange, that
is the myth that productivity has increased the wages of people
versus the truth that this productivity measure has been a scam of
our politicians and economists to enrich our fortunate sons as they
have been puffing up their financial company stocks, playing with
their insider knowledge of the real values of the stocks, and
stealing even more from people as the value of the stocks would
eventually burst.
The morale of this story is that our politicians and business
gurus are telling us lies with their own economic predictions as
they use these same predictions of the Free Market to continually
defraud common people little by little.
