The Experts

If you’ve been listening to all the so called financial “experts” lately. Those highly paid economists from all the great institutions like the bank of England or London School of Economics you must have come to the conclusion that they have as much idea of what’s happening in the economy as the ordinary guy in the street. Each statement that come out contradicts the last one. They all disagree with each other and they are all so so wise after the event.
Let’s face it. These guys have been bluffing for years. Lining their own pockets on the grounds that they have some secret knowledge that keeps the wheels turning. In reality they didn’t know what was happening or how it was happening it was just happening and they took the credit for it. Paying themselves huge bonuses as a reward.
Now the wheels have fallen off they are stood around looking for anyone to blame. “Forces beyond their control”, if this is true then why were they awarding themselves huge bonuses? If they didn’t have the skill, knowledge or expertise to keep the forces within their control why have they been getting paid?
Meanwhile the man who saved the world, the great Gordon is busy throwing our money around as usual and denying that any of the blame is his. Let’s get this right, this is the man who was chancellor for over ten years. The man who dictated financial policy for ten years, the man whose disastrous pension tax grab destroyed the private pensions of millions, but nothing is his fault. Gordon like the rest of the freeloaders that live in Westminster you are deluded. Living in a universe the rest of us don’t inhabit.
Any credibility that was left in our bankers and politicians has disappeared for good. It’s a question of trust and we have lost the little trust we had left. Personally I think all the politicians should be sacked and forced to get a job in this low paid shrinking crackpot economy they have all helped to create. Let them live on the minimum wage and see how they like it. That won’t happen though. While the rest of us are struggling in the economic storm, lashed by the winds of falling wages and rising prices, our dishonourable gentleman will be sat by their fires, warm and cosy thanks to the money they shamelessly steal from the rest of us.
