Have you ever seen a blood-engorged tick? Disgusting.
The Wall Street speculative economy we are being threatened to bail out is a parasitic economy sucking the blood out of our real economy. Except instead of a small but engorged tick on a dog, we have a parasitic economy that has grown to such disgusting proportions that it threatens the host, the real economy where you and I live.
This parasitic economy doesn't manufacture anything but toxic paper betting slips. Many of these slips are completely fraudulent. While sucking the blood out of the real economy, it injects toxic poison back in.
This engorged parasitic economy is now so enormous that its feeble little legs have become useless, but it wants more blood. It wants to suck the last pints of blood out of the host before it explodes in a bloody mess.
This disgusting parasite needs to be removed by professionals and left to die in the dirt, wallowing with its feeble useless legs flailing. The real economy must recover from the tremendous blood loss, and it will.
