What if Matt Damon is right and the larger political picture is just a giant hoax being played out by Washington on the American people ?




Remember all the talk surrounding TARP and the need to act immediately to avoid a financial collapse of historic proportions?  I mean,  the stock market lost nearly 800 point in one 24 hour period.  Several trillion dollars were “lost” to the economy.  Well,  three/four months later,  that same market,  one that we “rescued” from the pits of hell,  had lost a total of more than 4,000 points  --  trillions upon trillions !!  

AND,  we all survived.  

Now, “they” are telling us much the same about the “fiscal cliff.” 
Understand this,  the “fiscal cliff” is not a bottomless pit.  Not at all.  It’s “bottom” is the sequester agreement.  We all know where we are going,  we just don’t know the total impact of that journey.  

With TARP and all that surrounded that issue,  no one really knew what was about to happen.  On this occasion (the fiscal cliff),  we all know. 

And what a deal.  The fiscal system will receive the “adjustment” it is in need of,  entitlements and all,  while each side of the political aisle blames the other for action no one had the courage to take,  in the first place.  

This time,  there is a sense in which the impending crisis  benefits all of our national leadership while giving them the perfect cover.  

We will know by next Tuesday,  how accurate this particular conspiracy theory is.
