Είναι οι Αμερικανοί πιο ζοππόβορτοι που τους Κυπραίους τελικά;

Ομιλία του Τζώρτζ Μπούς, Νέα Υόρκη, Ιανουάριος 2007:

"America's businesses and entrepreneurs are creating new jobs every day. Workers are making more money -- their paychecks are going further. Consumers are confident, investors are optimistic. Just today, we learned that America's economy grew at an annual rate of 3.5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006. That means our economy grew at 3.4 percent last year, which is up from 3.1 percent in 2005. Ladies and gentlemen: The state of our economy is strong. (Applause.) And with the hard work of the American people and the right policies in Washington, we're going to make it even stronger."

"Across our nation, small businesses and entrepreneurs are creating millions of new jobs. Retail sales are up, consumer spending is strong, exports of goods and services have jumped by nearly 35 percent. The Dow Jones has set new records 26 times in the last four months. Productivity is strong, and that's translating into higher wages."

"When people across the world look at America's economy what they see is low inflation, low unemployment, and the fastest growth of any major industrialized nation. The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in the United States. There is one undisputed leader in the world in terms of economy, and that's the United States of America. (Applause.)"

Tούτα έλεε πριν μόλις κοσιένα μήνα μπροστά στα κκελλούδκια της Ουώλλ Στρήτ.

Τωρά βκαίννει τζιαι ζητά που τον Αμερικανό φορολογούμενο εφτακόσια δις για να γλιτώσει την Ουώλ Στρήτ:

Τηλεοπτική ομιλία Τζώρτζ Μπούς, 24 Σεπτεμβρίου 2008:

"We've seen triple-digit swings in the stock market. Major financial institutions have teetered on the edge of collapse, and some have failed. [...] We're in the midst of a serious financial crisis [...]"

"Financial assets related to home mortgages have lost value during the house decline, and the banks holding these assets have restricted credit. As a result, our entire economy is in danger.
So I propose that the federal government reduce the risk posed by these troubled assets and supply urgently needed money so banks and other financial institutions can avoid collapse [...]"

"developments allowed more families to borrow money for cars, and homes, and college tuition, some for the first time. They allowed more entrepreneurs to get loans to start new businesses and create jobs. [...] Easy credit, combined with the faulty assumption that home values would continue to rise, led to excesses and bad decisions."

"mortgage-backed securities [...] were sold to investors around the world. Because these companies were chartered by Congress, many believed they were guaranteed by the federal government. This allowed them to borrow enormous sums of money, fuel the market for questionable investments, and put our financial system at risk."

"Investment banks [...] found themselves saddled with large amounts of assets they could not sell. They ran out of money needed to meet their immediate obligations, and they faced imminent collapse. [...] lending dried up, and the gears of the American financial system began grinding to a halt."

"More banks could fail, including some in your community. The stock market would drop even more, which would reduce the value of your retirement account. The value of your home could plummet. Foreclosures would rise dramatically. And if you own a business or a farm, you would find it harder and more expensive to get credit. More businesses would close their doors, and millions of Americans could lose their jobs. Even if you have good credit history, it would be more difficult for you to get the loans you need to buy a car or send your children to college. And, ultimately, our country could experience a long and painful recession."

Δηλαδή, μαλάκες Αμερικανοί φορολογούμενοι, εγώ ο μαλάκας Πρόεδρος σας που πριν ανάμιση χρόνο ήμουν μέσα στην πελλή χαρά για την κατάσταση της οικονομίας, τωρά εξύπνησα ξαφνικά τζιαι ανακάλυψα ότι αν δεν ξεράσετε εφτακόσια δις για να γλιτώσετε την Ουώλ Στρήτ, εννά χάσετε τα σπίδκια σας, εν θα μπορέσετε να γοράσετε καινούριο αυτοκίνητο τζιαι εν θα καταφέρετε να πέψετε τα κοπελλούδκια σας να σπουδάσουν.

Τζιαι εν εβρέθηκε κανένας να τον πάρει με τα γιαούρτια.

Είναι οι Αμερικανοί τελικά πιο ζοππόβορτοι που τους Κυπραίους;
