3. The absurd part of this....

(and I know this is from the Onion and is a joke), is that our leaders (both Republicans and Democrats, including Obama himself) would probably be more likely to believe this story and to enact legislation that attempts to pin our economic woes on and try to stop THIS problem way before they ever would admit that taxes on the wealthy and corporations needed to be raised and more money spent on infrastructure projects.
