The Economy Is Broken Thanks to You

What with all the headlines about financial markets behaving like drunk girls, it seems appropriate to update you on the very latest state of the global econometric system. To wit:
- Stock markets are down.
- Because everyone's worried about Europe's unsustainable massive deadly disastrous pile of debt.
- Gold hit a new high today! That's how you know shit is fucked up.
- And don't even get us started on the looming student loan default disaster.
- The culprit? The villain? The reason for all of our pain and trouble? You, the consumer.
I hope you're happy.
