The Onion, a weekly “newspaper” for which every day is April Fool's, had me in stitches with its recent page one story: “Recession-Plagued Nation Demands New Bubble To Invest In!” The only problem was, as with all good humor, this joke rang too true, especially after seeing what the lousy economy is doing to my retirement accounts and the insurance industry.
The Onion's article was an absolute riot, and was right on target. It “reported” that a panel of top business leaders, testifying before Congress about the worsening recession, had demanded that the government “provide Americans with a new irresponsible and largely illusory economic bubble in which to invest.”
