Tapsearch Com EditorBack to future Letters by Ray Tapajna predicted economic mess
By Ray Tapajna - This continues our back to the future letters that forecasted our economic storms. President Obama tends to hide all this as a cause and effect in his new economic stimulus plans. As long as he ignores what happened in the 1990s, not much good will result from the massive bail out with big government now merging with big money.
We asked in our previous post what year was it- referring to our published letters. This particular letter was written and published in 1998 when we kept a record of jobs losts and companies closing down in just one year.
It's 1998 all over again in 2009
( I attended the World Series baseball game in Cleveland. Cleveland won a very exciting game. The crowd was very responsive and the streets after the game were filled with celebration, with horns blowing , with people still jeering and greeting each other. I was caught up in the celebration until I noted a large group of blacks faces waiting by one of the entrances. None of them were celebrating and they had a blank look on their faces just staring at all the people passing them by. They were waiting at a late hour to clean up the mess in the stadium after the game.) .......
The published letter from the previous post continues.... Meanwhile, we can see a sea of black faces waiting to clean up our mess at the stadium. ( after a World Series game which the underclass never get to see. ) As we celebrate the so-called good economy, we can see a sea of elderly faces waiting in food lines, especially in our rural areas. As we celebrate, about 20 percent of us doing well, we have 100 million of us not doing well at all with one out of every 200 of us going bankrupt. This is the greatest number ever, including the Depression. Of top of this, we have the greatest number of children living in poverty among all developed countries. At the same time, the stock market thrives on workers getting fired instead of hired and the letters to the editor cover complaints about beggars on E. 9th st. ( at a place between the three major sports complexes.)
( Warren Beatty played a politician in a movie depicting the realities of the working poor and underclass in 1998 that revealed the real world on the streets. )
....Warren Beatty, in promoting his new film, Bulworth, a brilliant political satire where a politician starts telling the truth, says he made it because only a few are better off than ever before while a 100 million or so are worse off than ever in their lives. Paraphrasing the past Sen. Everett Dirksen, Beatty says 100 million here and 100 million there starts adding up to a lot of people. It makes us wonder how many of us are living in a silent depression...as Hurricane Katrina exposed massive underclass living in New Orleans ( end of letter.)
The silent depression continued during the Bush years while he hid our economic conditions by his pre-emptive wars. Now President Obama comes and continues to hide the cause and effects of Free Trade and Globalization in his bailing out of big money jumping over the 100 million here and a 100 million there suffering in their own economic storm for years.
