Clear Message My Eye
Obfuscation is a high art in the disgraceful realm of political machinations. The ongoing financial shenanigans are not an exception.
Here is a slight excerpt from a piece purporting to report on an alleged “deal,” conceived by the country’s professional jobholders, which will supposedly miraculously solve the financial difficulties currently afflicting financial markets.
Top U.S. policymakers emerged from hours of tense negotiations with a clear message just after midnight on Sunday morning:...
And what is this “clear message?”
A deal to bail out U.S. financial markets has been agreed on and all that remains to be done is to commit the legislation to paper.
This is not a clear mesage in any way, shape or form. Until such a “deal” has been put down on paper, with i’s dotted and t’s crossed, it remains simply verbal spewings meant to soothe, and is hearsay.
