Three months of furloughs, layoffs, hour cuts, commission erasures. The vast majority of Americans, who live on the edge of insolvency, have now plunged into it. Did you think the little scraps from the master's table, that puny child's offering of two grand, would save them? Let the foreclosures, evictions, and bankruptcies begin.

You've had your la-la land of delusions and fantasy for the past couple of months, shielded from the consequences of your hubris by various moratoria on debt (which are soon expiring), now you will be sucked into the wild whirlpool of deflation and plumb its darkest depths. I laugh and lick my lips like an old Jew, having used this brief pause to heap puts into my portfolio, cackling madly not at my great fortune, but your imminent demise. If only my contracts were written by you! What pleasure it would be to suck on fine lobster and devour meaty steak, knowing that it all was paid for by your poverty and misfortune!

The age of bulls is over, the time of the bear has come.
