Vampire Economics 101

As the richer get inestimably richer and the poor are on a exponentially declining trip to hell, we are reminded of the elder Bush's phrase of "Voodoo Economics". A more appropriate description is the above: Vampire Economics. In this course, we shall investigate how the life blood is drained from the "things" which make up the mass of the population under the control of the "people who really matter", or PWRMs as we shall refer to them henceforth. (How can you tell who really matters? Well, for one, jail is more like an option rather than an inescapable necessity.) The question of Immigration is intimately linked to Vampire Economics. The PWRMs require an underclass laboring mightily to support them. It is not a bed of roses to be 5% of the population and have to absorb 95% of the wealth! The old underclass had been drained, as it were, and "new blood" is required. This process had originally been vetted on the East Coast in the latter part of the 20th century under the guise of nannies and maids from Gautemala, most of whom were here illegally. It was a smash hit. Another aspect of Vampire Economics will be to show that, wonderful as war is for industries creating armaments and the accoutrements of war, the real wealth comes after the war in the re-building phase. For example, it was the reconstruction of Europe after WW II that inspired the US economy, not the war itself - although the war itself was no slouch. But the long term, ongoing inspiration was due to the re-building. Hence, there is a need for war that destroy infrastructure of various countries in order to re-build them. After Iraq, I am sure we shall be able to find any number of benighted sovereign states that will fill the bill, preferably ones of an Islamic bent - if you catch my drift.
