I wrote a blog eleven months ago for SiTV, back when SiTV was cultivating Latino talent, about the reality of the recession when it was falsely being billed as an “economic slow down,” by experts.

I didn’t need to be an expert to see that the most responsible people around me were losing their jobs, homes and in some cases… their sanity. I just needed to be paying attention.

An interesting email from a professor at Fordham University, Dr. Mark Naison, led me right back to the blog titled “They Say it’s Not a Recession… It’s a Slowdown.”

Dr. Naison called my blog “prophetic” and informed me that the so called experts – I’d love to call them something else – are saying the recession actually began in November of 2007, two months prior to my blog.

Thanks for the update experts at reporting what we already know!

If you’re interested in reading the blog click here and send me a message letting me know what you think.

Here’s what I think:

I think that President Bush and his criminal band of brothers raped not only this country but they raped the world. They raped the global economy and all those little countries like France, China, Japan and Europe who believed in our foundation enough to invest trillions of dollars into our manufacturing, our infrastructure and our banking systems.

And where are they all now?

The investors are all jumping off the tallest buildings they can find…

People like me can’t retire until they’re 125 years old because we’ve lost over 50 percent of our 401K…

And Bush and his band of bad ass bandit misfits have hidden all of our money!

They personally robbed me of thousands of dollars in fuel costs when I was driving back and forth over the last eighteen months trying to save the underserved youth of New York.

And make no mistake about it… I’m pissed off!

I need you all to understand that I don’t use the word raped lightly because it’s a word that at a mere mention makes the skin on any real man crawl.

But that’s exactly what Bush and his unpatriotic traitor oil tycoon gazillionaires did to the world… I repeat they raped us all and no one made a sound. You could hear a pin drop…

And then when the country could take no more… when the world was about to implode I could miraculously fill my car up for $20.00.

When I spoke to the owner of a small mom and pop Pizza shop, Sal Bella’s in Virginia Beach, he said the most intelligent and sad thing I’ve heard in a long time…

He said, “When I saw a husband and wife share “one” slice of pizza and “one” cup of soda many months ago. I knew at that moment that we were in a recession… that we were in trouble.”

I don’t know about any of you… But my ass is sore!
