Translating Alan Greenspan

A true high roller like myself doesn’t trifle with politics. I’ll leave that to fancy-boys like Matt and Jason. But what does get my attention is green. It’s the bomb color: green bud, greenbacks (until they put some gay pastels in the mix, where are we, France?), and my main homey, Alan Greenspan.

But holmes is on some other shit when he starts kicking science like this:

“Unless hiring picks up and layoffs ease, assuaging the latent job security fears of many of those currently employed, the share of income spent could decline, a development that would hamper the vigor of the expansion.”

Translation: Niggaz who got jobs ain’t gonna spend no chedda when they think they gon’ be out on the street. This shit ain’t no good for anyone’s wallet getting fatter.

Greenspan:

“Recent budget deliberations are not encouraging. The current debate appears to be about how much to cut taxes or how much to increase spending. No significant constituency seems to support taking the actions that will be necessary to move toward, and one hopes achieve, budget balance.”

Translation: Congress be Congress. Some of dem bitches want to spend yo money, and some of dem bitches want to give it back to yo ass. What dey need to do is get their shit straight.

I think I’ve made my point.

Yo G-Dubs! When Greenspiz retires, put me on, kid.
