Hey, they’re just trying to stimulate the economy, right?
You can hardly blame the merchandisers for recognizing that plenty of people are people will fall for a meaningless pitch read from a script and packaged well. After all, that’s how Obama got elected.
Stand by–we are about to find plenty of other promises, purchases, and trends that are fake. Will anyone notice when he tampers with the Electoral College? People need to stop drinking the Kool Aid before it is too late!
