nebe's pogie prophesy revised...

pardon my uneducated view on everything, but what is going on now is quite simple.

In the name of capitalism, this great country of ours has enabeled businesses to outsource jobs here in the US.. That boosts corperate profits.. In the mean time there are millions of workers who lost their jobs and had to find lower paying jobs.. House prices soared off of the notion that many americans viewed home ownership as a source of income from re-financing..State government turned a blind eye to higher housing costs because come re-evaluation time, it means more tax revenue.. thus as a result, a huge false economy was created.
Comparing it to fishing is simple-
This country is broke because the average guy who works a manufacturing job, or any sort of job that could be outsourced is flat broke..(we will call them the pogies) As a result, small businesses across the nation who cater to this group of people (we'll call them the schoolie bass) are experiencing huge profit loss because they are not selling anything (eating pogies)..Now they are dieing off from starvation or at at the very least are extremely thin.. From there banks who are issuing them credit (bluefish) are forced with great pressure to make up for the losses, so they dabble in mortgages to help the broke pogies fatten up to make the schoolie bass fatten up..

The problem with everything is that corporate profits (the dogfish) have kept on climbing and climbing and climbing (getting fatter and fatter and fatter) And not much has been done to protect the pogies..


Now what we have is a huge fish kill. The dogfish are dieing, the bass, the blues and the pogies are all suffering from a large ecosystem crash..

Why? because the goverment (Fisheries managment) slashed over fishing laws for dogfish and let them feed and reproduce and did nothing to protect the base of the food pyramid.. (the pogies) Also, fisheries managment was too busy throwing a huge party for themselves (Iraq) based upon the notion that if they had that party, it would improve moral well being in its ranks and racked up huge debt, when in reality, that huge party budget should have been spent improving water quality for the pogies, regulating dogfish levels, and also, protecting the striped bass, who not only provide food for the dogfish (well not in real life) but would also fertilize the water with thier poop, and in turn would create the right balance for phytoplankton to grow, which the pogies eat...

Make sense?
